How Virtual Team Members Helped an HR Company Save $26k Per Hire
Talentuition is an RPO service provider specializing in solutions for Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). With 15+ years of experience, they offer comprehensive recruitment services that connect pre-hire and post-hire administration. Talentuition emphasizes professional evaluation over software-driven processes to identify talent. Their approach helps PEOs strengthen client relationships, retain key accounts, and compete with larger firms by addressing critical HR challenges faced by small businesses.
Challenges Faced
Many small start-ups face significant challenges in their first year, and their experience was no exception. Initially, their business model relied heavily on in-house employees, with only a small portion of work outsourced to virtual professionals. However, this approach quickly revealed its limitations.
As funds began to dwindle and internal talent turnover increased, Talentuition needed support. The cost of local talent was straining their budget, and the unreliability of some employees during crucial growth periods was hindering progress.
Recognizing the need for a more flexible and cost-effective solution, Talentuition gradually increased its reliance on virtual professionals through MyOutDesk. This strategic shift proved to be a turning point.
