PNI•HCM Partners with The Encompass Group to Integrate Talent Acquisition Services into HCM Suite

PNI•HCM has partnered with The Encompass Group to expand its all-in-one suite of HCM solutions to include expert-led talent acquisition services. This collaboration is significant because the U.S. Department of Labor reports that a bad hire can cost up to 30% of an employee's first-year salary, plus the resources required to restart the talent search. The partnership directly addresses this substantial financial risk for businesses by integrating specialized recruiting expertise into comprehensive human capital management systems.

The Encompass Group brings a culture-first approach and transformative talent acquisition strategies to the partnership, focusing on providing clients with qualified professionals who have specific skill sets and cultural compatibility. This approach helps businesses grow strategically while filling immediate talent gaps. The combination of PNI•HCM's deep expertise in payroll and HCM with The Encompass Group's industry-leading recruiting strategies offers enterprises comprehensive solutions for hiring, training, engaging, and retaining top talent.

Mary Grothe, Chief Revenue Officer of PNI•HCM, emphasized the partnership's focus on reinvigorating the excitement of team expansion and addressing the frustration and depersonalization of traditional recruiting. The collaboration answers these challenges with genuine relationship building and value alignment that fuels company growth for years to come. This approach corresponds with PNI•HCM's dedication to creating engaging employee experiences that stand the test of time.

The partnership extends The Encompass Group's industry-leading talent acquisition strategies to PNI's growing network of clients, enabling them to address the costly and time-consuming challenges of recruitment and employee retention from within one trusted resource. Full-service recruiting becomes the centerpiece of this collaboration, delivering direct hire contingent recruiting and executive search services to PNI•HCM's clients. The Encompass Group also adds its transformative talent consulting services to PNI's offerings, empowering internal recruitment efforts through personalized interview training, recruitment strategy guidance, and candidate experience audits.

Joyce Godbey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at The Encompass Group, noted the shared commitment to long-term employee satisfaction that begins during the hiring process. The partnership reflects the elevated importance of creating positive candidate and employee experiences to attract and retain top talent in today's complex job landscape. Organizations leveraging this combined expertise can mitigate risk, revolutionize their business operations, and transform their company culture starting with their candidate experience.
