Company Background:
Talsco Inc. is an IT Executive Search Firm serving companies across the United States. With the business marketplace becoming more competitive and the advancement of technology requiring specialized skills, the goal of Talsco Inc. is to bring the very best talent and the most successful companies together. They serve companies across the United States with a focus in the Midwest by offering direct hire and high value consulting services.
Challenge:
Talsco has historically leveraged its deep database of contacts to support their client's needs. As the technology job market and economy has evolved, it has been increasingly more
important to be able to respond to the changing needs and new technology niches. Having a deep database and access to the job boards in this environment is no longer a successful formula.
Today, to meet the needs in the technology market, it is critical to identify and connect with the very best candidates, who are often currently employed in a specific technology niche. Talsco knew that corporate web sites, forums, social networks and other Internet sources held the
critical information they needed, but how to efficiently leverage these sources in their process was daunting.
Solution:
Talsco knew the Internet held the vital data they needed to find and connect with the best
candidates. They turned to Broadlook for the tools and best practices to bring the Internet into their sourcing process.
Based on the Talsco's needs, Broadlook proposed a solution that included Profiler, Diver, Eclipse, and Contact Capture. This combination provided the company with the ability to tap corporate websites, newsgroups, forums, and publically indexed social networks to find and connect with the very best candidates in specialty technology niches.
Results:
Mr. Patrick Staudacher, President of Talsco, has been a Broadlook customer since 2005. When asked why he chose Broadlook, he commented, "With the explosion of information, it is too easy to get paralyzed and just do what you have always done. We know that in order to succeed, we could not fall into that trap. We needed a company that not only had the best tools to accelerate our efforts, but the training to help us really make it part of our process."
When asked to quantify the impact to his business, Patrick had this to say: "For two recent job orders, we have been able to identify 70 qualified candidates. These candidates were not in our database and needed to have a very specific skill. Using Broadlook and the methods they teach, we identified great passive candidates and our efforts could be measured in hours, instead of days. The combination of the right tools and training makes all the difference."
