Q: What makes you different from other recruiting organizations?

A: TalentMatch™ offers a unique recruiting experience for both the candidate and client. From the candidate’s perspective, we believe that we have honest, frank and specific discussions with candidates in the job market relative to who they might be competing with for a position (experience wise); needed edits to their resumes before we present to a targeted client; who they need to be in any prospective employer engagement in either an in person or phone interview.

From the client’s perspective, we believe that we provide a service of providing talent that is a match for their staffing needs, candidates vetted for an engagement with the interested client and speed to talent.

Given that most of our staff has had hands on experience in Corporate Sales with Fortune 500 companies, we believe that this work history experience gives TalentMatch™ an edge in the marketplace for both candidates and clients interested in a fluid, turnkey process of insuring speed to talent for all parties in the TalentMatch™ process.

Q: Who do you work with? What are your clients saying about you?

A: We work with multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 companies as a part of our client base. We work with the small business owner and privately owned, $100M organizations across the United States. We are a West Coast Company with a national reach. Just view our website, to see what our cherished clients are saying about us.

Q: What are your plans?

A: We started with less than a dozen active working clients when we first took ownership of TalentMatch in 2011. Since then, we now have over 80+ clients, all of whom have reached out to us directly for our services and many from the small B2B type of organization to the multi-billion-dollar OEMs of the nation and the world.

We believe that we are most fortunate to be working with the extremely talented professionals in the document management space for a couple of unique, but significant reasons: this group of people, especially for those who have had years of success in this industry, are a different breed in talent, temperment and functionality.

The salesperson representing just software has to capture the confidence and advocacy, typically, of the IT decision maker to get his or her products and technologies sold.

In the document management space, the most successful salespeople from this industry, have learned how to make the janitor or Kelly-temp at the receptionist desk become their new best friends. Given the competition in this industry, it is the most multi-talented, multi-dimensional personality that typically captures the mind share of an organization. One can find such a talent, in huge numbers, from that special group of people, making a great living as a document management salesperson.

Given the confluence of shared technologies in the market today, specifically when it comes to software, it was unheard of a company like an Oracle or a SalesForce or others to pick off front line sales person from the “speeds and feeds” (document management) industry, but it is now happening every day. More and more companies are recognizing this unique quality and trait in the talent from the document management space and capitalizing on it.

That said, we are approached on a monthly basis, from new prospective clients now keenly interested in introductions to the vast talent pool of this type of talent who we sponsor and represent every day.

This new awareness is driving our growth into a number of new and different industries from IT BIG DATA for the IT professionals from the document management space who reach out to us, to prospective clients from the software space to prospective clients from the marketing and incentive space as well as representation from a number of other industries.

We believe that the awareness of how special the document management professional is in today’s marketplace has now finally arrived and we are extremely pleased to be a part of this new world and all that it will do for the future of our organization from expanded strategic consulting, to leadership training, to sourcing and recruiting for international companies interested in a global presence for their products, services and technologies.
