PNI•HCM Expands Services with The Encompass Group Partnership, Offering Comprehensive Talent Acquisition Solutions

In a significant move to enhance its human capital management offerings, PNI•HCM has announced a strategic partnership with The Encompass Group. This collaboration aims to integrate expert-led talent acquisition services into PNI•HCM's existing suite of payroll, benefits, and employee engagement solutions.

The partnership addresses a critical issue in the hiring process: the high cost of bad hires. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a poor hiring decision can cost up to 30% of an employee's first-year salary, not including the resources expended on restarting the talent search. The Encompass Group's culture-first approach and innovative talent acquisition strategies are designed to mitigate this risk by ensuring a better fit between candidates and organizations.

By combining PNI•HCM's expertise in payroll and HCM with The Encompass Group's recruiting prowess, the partnership offers a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to optimize their hiring, training, engagement, and retention processes. This holistic approach is expected to revolutionize business operations and transform company cultures, starting from the candidate experience.

Mary Grothe, Chief Revenue Officer of PNI•HCM, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its potential to reinvigorate the excitement of team expansion. She emphasized the alignment between The Encompass Group's retention-focused approach and PNI•HCM's commitment to creating enduring employee experiences.

The partnership extends beyond traditional recruitment services. It includes full-service recruiting, offering direct hire contingent recruiting and executive search services to PNI•HCM's clients. Additionally, The Encompass Group brings its transformative talent consulting services to the table, providing interview training, recruitment strategy guidance, and candidate experience audits to empower internal recruitment efforts.

Joyce Godbey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at The Encompass Group, underscored the shared commitment to long-term employee satisfaction. She noted the ease of placing elite candidates with organizations dedicated to fostering employee growth and satisfaction, such as PNI•HCM's clients.

This strategic alliance reflects the growing importance of positive candidate and employee experiences in attracting and retaining top talent in today's competitive job market. By offering a unified platform for managing human capital from recruitment to retirement, PNI•HCM and The Encompass Group are positioning themselves as comprehensive solutions providers in the HCM space.

The partnership is expected to benefit a wide range of businesses by addressing the costly and time-consuming challenges associated with recruitment and employee retention. By providing access to industry-leading recruiting strategies and comprehensive HCM solutions through a single trusted resource, PNI•HCM and The Encompass Group aim to simplify and optimize human resource management for their clients.

As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of talent acquisition and retention, partnerships like this one between PNI•HCM and The Encompass Group may set a new standard for integrated HCM solutions. By focusing on cultural fit, long-term employee satisfaction, and streamlined HR processes, this collaboration has the potential to significantly impact how businesses approach their human capital management strategies in the future.
