Road to riches! Their top athlete hires earned six figures their first year and should make over $200K pace by their third year (if they keep doing exactly what they’ve been doing). Everyone who has worked at least one year has earned more money at TALANCE GROUP than anywhere else in their career.
Be part of a winning TEAM! Their superior results earn a listing as one of the top search firms in the city every year. Most of their candidates and clients regard them as the best firm they have ever worked with.
Keep your competitive spirit! Annihilate external competition first, then have a healthy, supportive internal competition that keeps everyone in tip top shape. They encourage physical health and carve-out time for exercise.
Great environment! You’ll work wherever you like- in a luxury home, the middle of the coolest part of town, not a stuffy office cubicle.
Incredible flexibility! They don’t track vacation and don’t dictate office hours. If you’re producing at star level, you manage your own time. The better you get, the more days you can work from home.
Excellent family-first company culture! TALANCE GROUP has been recognized 6 out of the last 7 years as one of the “Best Places to Work” in Houston. This is not an easy task as you must have near unanimous high scores from all employees in several categories.
Have FUN at work! They constantly schedule fun events like cookouts, lake outings, kickball, cornhole, pickleball, Astros games, party bus, boat cruises, etc.
Never have to leave! Half of the employees have worked there 10 years or more.
The importance of Talent is obvious: it is universally agreed to be the most important asset in any company and it allows a person possessing it to perform the most difficult tasks almost effortlessly. It is what we are constantly searching for.
Balance is the cornerstone of an excellent search firm. The search process can become unstable and ultimately halted by opposing forces that only an experienced search consultant can navigate.
