TalentQuest Paper Explains How to Hire the Best Talent in an Improving Economy

ATLANTA – April 4, 2011 - TalentQuest, a human capital management and software solutions firm, today announced the release of its new white paper, “Will You Be Ready When It’s Time to Hire Again? Apply Effective Assessment Solutions to Get the Best Talent First,” available for immediate complimentary download.

Any organization that wants to be competitive coming out of the recession must be poised to take advantage of the high migration and churning sea of talent. Optimally, that means using an integrated talent management system to find candidates who are the right culture fit and the best qualified, without assuming that those who survived the cuts during the recession are necessarily better candidates.
As part of that system, savvy organizations will employ a highly effective and objective assessment solution to find and hire the best talent for their unique organization.

“What will be crucially important as the candidate landscape shifts with the end of the recession and as companies begin to hire again will be the ability to efficiently identify individuals who not only have the skills they need amid the growing pool of talent but who also possess the personality, career goals, work style and background that reflect their organization’s objectives and culture,” said Kevin Sessions, president of TalentQuest.

TalentQuest provides companies the expertise of both a software solution provider and a talent consultancy. TalentQuest is one of the rare organizations with the knowledge, experience and ability to develop assessment solutions and correctly implement them as part of an integrated talent management system.

Apply Effective Assessment Solutions to Get the Best Talent First.”

This paper leverages TalentQuest’s unique insight to explain how the candidate landscape is changing and why an optimal strategy for hiring the best talent ahead of the competition needs to hit on all cylinders and include:

1. Executive assessments.
2. Online assessments.
3. The ability to draw from organizational surveys to make your recruiting process more meaningful.

“When you have those assessments and tools, and you apply them within an integrated talent management strategy, you get practical, reliable solutions to several challenges in securing the best candidates for your organization as the economy turns around,” Sessions said. “They make it easier and faster to get a shorter list of qualified candidates who also are a strong cultural fit for your organization.”

Don’t be left behind as the economy continues to improve, the candidate landscape continues to churn and hiring starts to pick up. Download TalentQuest’s complimentary white paper, “Will You Be Ready When It’s Time to Hire Again? Apply Effective Assessment Solutions to Get the Best Talent First.”
