TalentQuest Expands Geographic Footprint, Service Offering and Software
ATLANTA, July 15, 2009 - TalentQuest, a human capital management and software
solutions firm, today announced that it has entered into strategic alliance with
Estrella Partners Group. This new partnership provides TalentQuest with an
additional distribution channel for its software solutions, including selection
assessments, competency management, goal setting, performance reviews, 360
surveys, compensation management, and organizational surveys, and will enable
the firm to more efficiently address client needs throughout the Southwestern United
States.
In an ongoing commitment to anticipate client needs and be prepared to effectively
and efficiently deliver its broad spectrum of talent management products and
services, TalentQuest has recently made a concerted effort to establish partnerships
with like-minded, synergistic organizations, as in this case with Estrella Partners.
This effort has resulted in more than a dozen partnerships with high-quality
organizations throughout the U.S.
“Partnering with established and respected organizations like Estrella Partners
allows us to remain flexible and able to address a broader population’s needs, both
in terms of geography and in terms of service area,” said Kevin Sessions, president
of TalentQuest.
While many experts have predicted that the U.S. economy would show signs of
recovery this summer, it is unclear as to when the positive effects of these changes –
if they do, in fact, occur – will be felt. Many believe that even when the economy does
rebound, consumer spending will have changed permanently and that many
organizations will continue to be faced with an abundance of operational issues.
With these operational and process changes, talent attraction, talent management
and talent retention will become increasingly critical to long-term success.
TalentQuest will extend to Estrella Partners and its clients its comprehensive talent
management software solutions, ranging from competency management modules
and selection assessments, to performance management and compensation
planning. In turn, Estrella Partners’ consultants will offer TalentQuest’s clients
guidance around sustainability including organizational audits and environmental
assessments; risk management consulting services including operational risk,
business continuity, incident response planning and crisis management; and
program management services
including strategic planning, cost reduction and interim CIO services. Both firms
have decades of combined experience that cover organizations of every type and size
and a wide variety of industries.
“TalentQuest’s software solutions are exactly what we have been seeking to solidify
and streamline our clients’ talent management processes,” stated Al Uretsky,
Managing Partner of Estrella Partners Group. “TalentQuest’s solutions will add a
new level of client value and performance evaluation in an area that we believe is key
to long-term organizational success. As more and more organizations want to
ensure they have the ‘people processes’ in place to emphasize performance and
engagement with their most valuable asset, their employees, TalentQuest will be a
strong, value-added partner.”
“Estrella Partners’ specialization will enable us to serve our clients in new and
important ways. The firm embodies the same organizational values and
commitment to peak performance that TalentQuest has strived to embody for more
than 35 years,” Sessions added. “From their commitment to excellence to their
philosophy of partnering with clients to develop tailored talent management
solutions, they are an ideal TalentQuest partner.”
