EMPLOYEES ARE YOUR GREATEST ASSET: Matthew White with TalentQuest

Matthew White with TalentQuest joins Joe Moss to discuss the importance of hiring the right employees and creating leaders to help your business succeed.

Matthew White/TalentQuest

Talent Management. Simplified. In the world of talent management, weaving together strategy, process and technology can be an elusive quest. Achieving the best results from talent management solutions requires outstanding technology and consulting expertise.

Most talent management software vendors aren’t equipped to meet this essential need. They simply cannot provide the integrated consulting services and support with the technology needed to bring your talent initiatives to life and deliver results across the spectrum – selection, performance management, succession planning, compensation management and leadership development. TalentQuest can.

For over 40 years, TalentQuest has delivered excellence in both talent management software and HCM consulting solutions. Unlike traditional talent management suite providers that offer poor integration and inadequate consulting services, they believe custom talent technology and consulting are key drivers for successfully integrated talent strategies and processes.

The goal is making great talent management a simple process. And TalentQuest is with you on the journey, every step of the way.

On the Money focuses on topics and issues allowing small businesses to better navigate the financial services minefield, with analysis and opinions from today’s industry experts on banking and loans. On the Money also introduces you to some of the top small business leaders in the Atlanta market.

Hosted by Joe Moss, the president of Embassy National Bank, On the Money airs live every Wednesday at 3:00 PM EST from the Business RadioX studio in Gwinnett.

INTREPY effectively harnesses a combination of referral marketing, social media, PR and philanthropy to improve on existing revenue streams in addition to creating new ones.

INTREPY varies from traditional healthcare marketing companies because they established relationships with general practice physicians to increase their client’s referral networks. When a family practice or internal medicine doctor choses a specialist in your field to refer to, they make sure you are the one they choose.

INTREPY offers its clients effective social media strategies to fit their needs and goals, not only increasing brand awareness and organic Google search results, but allowing providers to strategically target the perfect demographic for their practice in a highly interactive way.

While INTREPY is focused in the healthcare field, they offer their services to other facets of the business world. They believe their skills translate well to varying businesses/industries and social media is universal. They look forward to building a stronger, more lucrative business for you!
