The right match

TECH is our FORTE

Hiring can be difficult in any economy. We only address industries in which we have experience, and in which we actually worked: Wireless, Electronics, Opto-Electronics, and Transmission systems (RF and Optical). Our focus is on finding you individuals who have skill set gained in your industry or from a similar industry with the same technical skills. We do not rely on keyword searches to screen resumes from a database using a bulk, see-what-sticks, approach which leaves you with more work. We screen each submitted candidate ourselves. We ensure that the culture is a potential match, as well as the experience and the personal situation. We will simply refrain from submitting someone for the sake of trying.

CONTINGENCY:

As an VP in a startup, and a Senior Director in Semiconductors, I learned retained search to have a questionable price / value proposition. That’s Talent Forte’s standard terms are contingency based. We will provide feedback on our ability to find the candidate, so you can start searches with others in parallel to fill positions. We will never send mismatched CVs as a result of a keyword search. We work with third parties as needed. Your satisfaction is our sole metric for long-term success.
There is no revenue objective within the company. This ensures a philosophy to always conduct business with the integrity that is owed our customers and the best candidates.
