Who We Are
The ending song of the Broadway hit musical, Rent beings with these words:
“Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundreds minutes,
How do you measure a year?”
Of those, the average person spends roughly 140,400 minutes a year working or more than 6.5 million minutes du
ring the course of their life. Given how much time spent in work-related effort, we started The Talent Bank in 1984 with this premise:
“Life is too short to have a job you hate.”
We believed that not only did people have the right to find that fit but that it was their responsibility to find the best use of their talents and skills. Knowing we had a lot of competition, we set out to be a different type of recruiting practice based on the following principles:
• We would only accept those firms as clients that we would want to work for ourselves;
• We would seek to establish long-term partnerships with our clients, through which they would come to see us allies and friends;
• We would never present any candidate that we would not be personally willing to hire ourselves;
• We would get to know our client and our candidates so thoroughly that there would never be any question as to the qualifications of or suitability for a particular assignment;
• We would provide the best value and longest guarantee in the industry;
• We would never actively recruit any one away from one of our clients;
• Anyone associated with our company would have an unblemished reputation for honesty, integrity, kindness and fairness in all of our dealings;
• Our competitive advantage would be a blend of providing outstanding candidates as well as a rewarding experience throughout the process.
