COMPANY ACHIEVEMENTS

24 years of leadership

Talent has maintained the same ownership and leadership throughout its history in the Twin Cities, which has resulted in clear vision of the needs of local businesses and a strategic focus on supplying targeted resources to solve them.

Surviving the .com depression

Unlike much of the industry, Talent didn't specialize in Y2K solutions during the 90s. The company remained financially strong after the market changed and continues to thrive today.

Getting it right the first time

We don't know if it is our skilled recruiters who work so hard to match the right people for each project or if our clients simply have the most rewarding projects in the Twin Cities, but either way, we have consistently maintained low turnover rates and high staff retention.

Sticking with the in-crowd

They say you can tell a lot about someone by the company they keep. Talent is on more local preferred vendor lists than any other consulting firm and has a very strong local reputation. You can draw your own conclusions.
