Talent Chain Management Consulting
Talent on Demand
The idea that we can achieve certainty through planning is no longer true. Instead, we have to deal with uncertainty by being more responsive and adaptable.
The term "talent management" simply means "trying to forecast what we are going to need, and then planning to meet that need. Managing supply chains is about managing uncertainty and variability. This same uncertainty exists inside companies with regard to talent development. Companies rarely know what they will be building five years out and what skills they will need to make that happen; they also don't know if the people they have in their pipelines are going to be around

We made a decision early in the year to open an RTP Center of Excellence to complement our Midwest headquarters. Our most pressing need was to find several very strong software programmers that could help us continue to develop and refine our products. Smart Folks contacted us and quickly demonstrated their ability to establish a strong relationship and help us find the best people available. We have worked with them on three different needs so far and will continue to use them as our needs continue to grow and evolve.

We have been working with Smart Folks for the last year or so and have found them to be one of the most productive and professional services partners we have worked with. They consistently are able to source very high quality talent for us, no matter what the job requirements, and their candidates are almost always unique and don't come from the massive pool that simply post their resumes all over the web. We have hired multiple candidates from them and look forward to working with them as our needs continue to grow and evolve.
