Talent Plus, Inc. was founded in 1989 by Dr. William E. Hall, along with Douglas B. Rath, Kimberly Rath and Sandy Maxwell. A privately held company, Talent Plus is the premier global human resources consulting firm with over 200 world-class, quality-growth oriented clients. Talent Plus is organized as a matrix structure with associates organized according to job function and client team. They currently employ over 140 associates and have Corporate Headquarters based in Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A., and their Asia Pacific office is based in Singapore, as well as an office in Bogota, Colombia.

Prior to moving to their current headquarters on 67th and Pioneers, Talent Plus has had offices in Lincoln at 14th and Old Cheney, 48th and Van Dorn, and 40th and Normal. They have chosen to keep their Corporate Headquarters in Lincoln because of the human capital available in Nebraska and recognize the competitive advantage Midwestern work ethic, character and morals give them in the global marketplace.

Since their founding, Talent Plus has studied talented, successful people and identified specific personality traits that drive their success. They have determined how individual talents affect performance in every part of the workplace. Based upon empirical data, Talent Plus has developed reliable, validated instruments that assess an individual’s aptitude to perform a specific job with excellence. Through this approach, The Science of Talent ®, client partners are able to further define their culture through the selection, development and retention of top talent.

Selecting talent is only the beginning. It takes an integrated talent management strategy – with the commitment of everyone from the CEO to the line manager – for an organization to achieve sustained excellence. Talent Plus aligns with client partners focused on becoming a Talent- Based Organization ® to maximize their human capital and achieve sustainable excellence.

Talent Plus clients include Assurity Life Insurance Company, Lincoln Industries, Nebraska Heart, UCLA Health System, Mercedes-Benz USA, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Microsoft, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Loews Hotels, Henry Ford Health System, ISJ Mayo Health System, Estée Lauder Companies, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, DFS, Ferragamo and many other quality organizations across the globe.

Vision:
We are indispensable partners to organizations and individuals committed to performance excellence. We design scientific, talent-based selection, development and organizational solutions that drive sustainable business outcomes and maximize human potential.

Mission:
We believe every person has talent. Talent’s expression is dependent upon the opportunity to express it. It is the goal of Talent Plus to help its clients and their employees to express this talent to the mutual benefit of the individual and organization.

Promise:
We are a compelling place for associates to work. We are a compelling place to do business. We are a compelling citizen to have in any community.

In striving to live out their promise of being a compelling citizen to have in any community, Talent Plus deploys a targeted social responsibility effort each fiscal year. New pillars are announced at each Annual Meeting in July and set the stage for the year’s corporate social responsibility efforts. Talent Plus selects four pillar, or core, organizations to support each fiscal year and aims much of their social responsibility efforts toward this targeted group. In order to make the most impact with their resources and be a global citizen, they are careful to select local, national and international causes each year. Since 1997, Talent Plus has donated over $600,000 and countless volunteer hours supporting corporate social responsibility efforts in the Lincoln community and around the globe.

Talent Plus is excited to announce the 2011-2012 social responsibility pillars:
• American Heart Association
• Bright Lights
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)
• Make-A-Wish Foundation of Nebraska

In addition to these four pillars, organizations representing the offices in Singapore and Colombia will also be selected.
