Securing the Best Talent for You

Business Model

Talent, Inc. has assembled a unique team to execute its original business model, combining various ethical methodologies in talent search. After experiencing and surveying competitors in Japan, USA, Europe and Asia-Pacific, we are convinced we have built the most knowledgeable and experienced search firm in our areas of focus. Furthermore, our business model allows us to be at the crossroads of information flow, allowing our team to leverage this information to the benefit of our searches. We see investing in technology as a major benefit, and view superior technology as an important differentiator of our company moving forward.

Talent, Inc. grew out of the idea that executive search should, and can be, executed with a philosophy of best practices (kaizen). However, best practices does not commit our people or company to one inflexible, unchanging practice. Rather, best practices is a philosophical approach based around continuous learning and continual improvement.

Talent, Inc. strives to be both ethical and efficient in any and every project that it is involved with. To guide us through the business jungle, we have developed and established a set of core values as well as code of conduct. This enables us to conduct ourselves with the utmost business probity leading to successful project completion.

Throughout our team and organization we foster the following common values of:

• Business Probity: we demand of ourselves and others the highest ethical standards, and our services and processes will be of the highest quality.
• Customer Success: service to the customer above all. We are deeply committed to meeting the needs of our customers, and we constantly focus on customer satisfaction.
• We recognize that people are the cornerstone of Talent, Inc’s success, we value our diversity as a source of strength, and we are proud of Talent Inc’s history of treating employees with respect and dignity.

Whether you provide a business service or build a high-tech product, whether you’re a small to medium size company or you’re an established publicly traded corporation, your most valuable resource is people. The perfect team members will provide the experience, knowledge and the drive to make sure the work gets done well and cost-efficiently.
