Customized Career Development Solutions

Engage Your Top Talent

Your high potential employees need to know that they are valuable and visible within the organization. There is no better way to communicate appreciation and ongoing opportunities to your top talent than through a career development program. Ensure that your top talent gains opportunities to develop important leadership skills so that they can ultimately fulfill critical top-level positions.

Attract Graduates

Today's graduates expect meaningful work, informed career direction, and the resources they need to succeed in their jobs throughout their entire careers. In other words, your younger, recently onboarded employees expect to have access to career development programs. Sell a graduate on the effectiveness of your career development program, and you will effectively acquire both a loyal employee for the coming years and an advocate of your brand for life.

Discover Diversity

Diversity in the workplace is crucial for organizations to maintain a competitive advantage in a global environment. Diverse and inclusive organizations are able to deploy a wide range of knowledge and skills, reach out to a varied client base, and motivate talented employees from all backgrounds to perform their best. By targeting women, LGBTQ employees, international employees, and/or employees of color, you will:

  • Discover top talent and utilize your entire talent pool

  • Empower employees of all backgrounds to effectively navigate their career paths

  • Establish a diverse leadership and succession pipeline that drives business results

Need help starting a targeted initiative? Our consulting services and online career software are available to assist you.

This past winter was definitely remarkable. We found that the E-mail Broadcaster function is the easiest and fastest way to reach all our candidates to inform them of any changes in our office hours - including having to close due to inclement weather, delayed openings, or early closure. Additionally, we use this function to promote our seminars and workshops, and the career coaches can reach all of their candidates in one simple email. This tool is a tremendous asset.

We first started using EmploymentTalk™ in our practice in 2001, and have stuck with it ever since.

Today, EmploymentTalk™ enables us to deliver a longer duration of outplacement services and thereby exceed our clients' expectations. As more and more organizations look to provide cost-effective, efficient and high-impact outplacement, we are able to meet their needs.

Our candidates are just blown away by the amount of research they get on specific companies and industries. Their ability to get REALLY good information, and MUCH MORE information than they typically could get on their own, and have it presented so quickly and effectively, is very powerful. It gives us a big sales and marketing advantage.
