Pivotal Talent Search – Using over two decades of experience to source the perfect talent for your business

Talent acquisition is a process of identifying, acquiring, assessing, and hiring candidates to meet organizational needs. Every company has an effective talent acquisition team in place to fill open job positions with skilled human resources. Professional skills should include maintaining compliance and hiring standards, candidate assessment, sourcing strategies, employment branding practices, and corporate hiring initiatives. It is a separate department that works in tandem with the human resources department for corporate hiring initiatives within a company. The foundation of an effective talent acquisition strategy is dependent upon future resource planning, employer branding, and creating a pool of qualified candidates.

Pivotal Talent Search is a full service search firm serving North America, South America and Europe. Pivotal Talent Search is the cutting edge of talent acquisition. They do things differently than traditional recruiting firms. First, the firm specializes in cold calling the most desirable candidates and engaging them to make the switch to your company. That’s right! In this competitive job market, the best employees are likely already employed. Second, the company utilizes a completely unique pricing structure based on an hourly rate that saves their clients up to 30% in recruiting fees. That’s why it is the recruitment experience you deserve at a price you’d never expect.
