Six Reasons

Expertise

Our niche is web technology. Our recruiters have extensive knowledge of object-oriented programming languages, web application frameworks, web services, open source technologies, and semantic web. In addition to web technology, we recruit talent across a wide spectrum of information technology functions.

We understand technology requirements on a deep technical level. Therefore, we can assess candidates for web technology skills more accurately than IT generalists who recruit across a wide spectrum of IT functions

We understand what candidates want. Technology professionals appreciate working with knowledgeable recruiters who understand their technical skills and are genuinely interested in the work they do. The instant rapport we establish with technical professionals sends a positive message about your organization. That makes us an exemplary ambassador for your employer brand.

Process

Recruiting without a structured, field-tested process is a recipe for failure. Hiring mistakes are costly. A strong recruiting process is your safeguard against recruiting failure and its harsh consequences.

We take best practices in recruiting to a new level with our trademark Talent First Hiring. Our approach adapts the recruiting process so it addresses IT specific recruiting challenges: winning highly sought-after talent; assessing technical skills and competencies; and motivating technical professionals.

Speed

Fast and effective recruiting is essential to sustaining team performance. We are so confident in our ability to quickly address your hiring needs that we offer a 31-Day Guarantee for all technical position searches. A major factor in our ability to recruit swiftly is a large, well managed network within a narrow niche of web technology. Our recruiters have had 72,349 conversations with 14,407 web technology professionals since Jan 1, 2006.* When choosing a search firm, ensure that by virtue of the relationship, you'll be gaining equity in a highly valuable network. Through our extensive network, your requirements will quickly be exposed to a large and receptive audience of talented web technology professionals.

Source

Our value to you is not in targeting active candidates on job boards so you can compete against everybody else to hire them. Our value to you is in finding quality passive candidates that other recruiters can't. That means doing the rigorous talent market research and referral networking required to identify hidden A-players and lure them to your organization.

We don't post job ads. We don't trawl the job boards for low-hanging fruit. We don't source active candidates that announce their availability to the world via the Internet where everybody else can find them. In short, we don't do the things you can just as easily do yourself. See our Talent Discovery Formula to learn more about our unique sourcing methods.

Reputation

While our reputation among your businesses peers is certainly important, it's our reputation in the talent market that has the most value. That's because our reputation itself is a powerful recruiting tool you can leverage. The web technology professionals you want to hire know the Talengix brand and appreciate working with us for two major reasons:

First, we are passionate about their industry and the work they do. We possess the career trajectory insight to accurately assess their experience, identify their money skills, and architect brilliant career moves on their behalf.

Second, our Talent First Recruiting approach is highly regarded because it places individuals and their career aspirations first. As true career confidants we show empathy, build rapport, and engender trust. Candidates turn to us for smart career guidance; so we are always in a prime position to influence their career decisions.

Representation

A recruiter is usually the first touchpoint a candidate will have with an organization. So a candidate's first impression of your employer brand is greatly influenced by the recruiters you choose to work with. An unprofessional or unknowledgeable recruiter can quickly harm your employer brand. Because of our professionalism, in-depth technical knowledge, and "talent first" approach, the first impressions our talent consultants make reflects positively on your organization.

By working with Talengix, you can always be sure you have a respected ambassador in the industry trenches promoting your job opportunities and employer brand in a favorable light. * The numbers reported are as of December 31, 2009.
