What Talent Sync does

Talent Sync connects organizations with senior and niche talent, and builds the processes that keep hiring working long after the search closes.

Twenty-five years, one through-line.

The network behind Talent Sync was built over two decades of recruiting for consulting and technology firms, long before the firm had a name.

One partner, start to close

Talent Sync is independently owned and operated. The person who scopes the work is the person who does it.

Scoped to the problem

Most engagements start with one service and grow into the others. Describe the problem and Lois will tell you where it actually sits.

Built to outlast the search

Beyond search, the practice covers hiring process design, ATS and HRIS selection, and Affirmative Action compliance planning.
