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

PNI•HCM (PNI) has announced a strategic partnership with The Encompass Group to expand its suite of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions to include specialized talent acquisition services. This collaboration is poised to significantly impact businesses struggling with the high costs and inefficiencies associated with poor hiring decisions.

The U.S. Department of Labor highlights the financial burden of a bad hire, estimating it can cost up to 30% of an employee's first-year salary. The Encompass Group aims to mitigate these costs through a culture-first approach and innovative talent acquisition strategies. By focusing on matching candidates with specific skill sets and cultural compatibility, The Encompass Group helps businesses grow strategically and fill immediate talent gaps.

The partnership integrates PNI•HCM's expertise in payroll and HCM with The Encompass Group's advanced recruiting methodologies. This synergy offers enterprises a comprehensive solution for hiring, training, engaging, and retaining top talent. Organizations can now mitigate hiring risks, transform business operations, and enhance company culture, starting with an improved candidate experience.

Mary Grothe, Chief Revenue Officer of PNI•HCM, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. "We are grateful to partner with The Encompass Group and reinvigorate the excitement and joy of expanding one's team," Grothe stated. She emphasized that The Encompass Group's focus on retention aligns perfectly with PNI•HCM's commitment to creating enduring employee experiences. Together, they aim to replace the frustrations of traditional recruiting with genuine relationship-building and value alignment that fosters long-term company growth.

PNI•HCM already offers robust HCM solutions, including onboarding, payroll processing, benefits enrollment, and on-the-job training. The new partnership will extend The Encompass Group's industry-leading talent acquisition strategies to PNI's client base, addressing the costly and time-consuming challenges of recruitment and employee retention from a single, trusted resource.

A standout feature of this partnership is the introduction of full-service recruiting, which includes direct hire contingent recruiting and executive search services. Additionally, The Encompass Group will provide transformative talent consulting services, empowering internal recruitment teams through 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," Godbey said. She emphasized that both companies understand the importance of building frameworks for employee satisfaction and growth, beginning with the hiring process.

The partnership between PNI•HCM and The Encompass Group underscores the critical importance of creating positive candidate and employee experiences to attract and retain top talent in today's complex job market.
