PNI•HCM Partners with The Encompass Group to Enhance Talent Acquisition Services

PNI•HCM (PNI) has announced a strategic partnership with The Encompass Group to expand its all-in-one Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions to include expert-led talent acquisition services. This development addresses a significant concern in the business world, as the U.S. Department of Labor indicates that a bad hire can cost up to 30% of an employee's first-year salary.

The Encompass Group adopts a culture-first approach to talent acquisition, aiming to eliminate bad-fit hires and improve employee retention. By integrating their industry-leading recruiting strategies with PNI's robust HCM solutions, the partnership seeks to help businesses grow strategically and fill immediate talent gaps. This collaboration promises to enhance the hiring, training, engaging, and retaining experience for enterprises.

Mary Grothe, Chief Revenue Officer of PNI•HCM, emphasized the synergy between the two organizations. "The Encompass Group approaches talent acquisition with an eye on retention, a focus that corresponds beautifully with PNI•HCM's dedication to creating engaging employee experiences that stand the test of time," she said.

PNI's comprehensive HCM solutions already cover various aspects of workforce management, including onboarding, payroll processing, and benefits enrollment. The inclusion of The Encompass Group's talent acquisition strategies will enable PNI clients to tackle the costly and time-consuming challenges of recruitment and employee retention from a single, trusted resource.

This partnership introduces full-service recruiting, including direct hire contingent recruiting and executive search services, to PNI•HCM's clients. Additionally, The Encompass Group will provide transformative talent consulting services, such as personalized interview training, recruitment strategy guidance, and candidate experience audits.

Joyce Godbey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at The Encompass Group, highlighted the mutual commitment to long-term employee satisfaction. "It's easy to place elite candidates when you know they are going to organizations like PNI's clients, who are dedicated to building frameworks for employee satisfaction and growth," she stated.

The partnership underscores the growing importance of creating positive candidate and employee experiences to attract and retain top talent in today's competitive job market. By combining their strengths, PNI•HCM and The Encompass Group aim to revolutionize business operations and transform company cultures, starting with the candidate experience.
