› TALENT AQUISITION
We create talent acquisition plans for clients that continually move the process forward by defining hiring accountability and roles. Our case study research has shown a breakdown in communication between hiring managers, human resource managers, and talent acquisition. We offer a different approach to the hiring process, proactively helping clients see the candidate behind the keywords.
See our upcoming blog post to learn more about how we find the elusive talent organizations are searching for and maintain compliance through our alliance with Career.Place.
› TALENT MANAGEMENT AND RETENTION
Talent is the backbone of any organization. One of our favorite quotes is:
“Don’t wear your wishbone where your backbone should be.”
Companies recognized in Best Places to Work lists consistently invest in talent management throughout the employee lifecycle, beginning with the candidate experience they deliver. We help our clients find their PATH to attract, develop, transition, and retain employees through an approach that is of mutual benefit to the organization and their talent base.
Losing talent is a costly proposition and it’s not all about compensation. A driver for high potential talent leaving the organization is skill development and career growth. Our academic research and case studies highlighted the need for employers to stay in close touch with their talent base on career mobility needs. When expectations are not communicated and managed, a talent drain occurs. Organizations that successfully retain talent protect their native knowledge, saving time and money on the hiring process. We offer customized solutions to help find your PATH with integrating the total candidate and employee experience while building loyalty and retention.
› BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
When taking an intensive hike, switchbacks are built as zig-zags to move back and forth up a steep section of terrain. This adds distance to a trail but makes it easier to complete.
Similar benefits can be realized when reviewing a business process to determine if it is a customer enhancement or detractor. We help organization of all sizes find their PATH by being the outside partner that can provide an objective viewpoint in assessing their current processes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and designing solutions.
When designed and implemented efficiently, business process initiatives put organizations on the map. Land and brand with effective resource utilization, higher quality services, increased clock speed in customer response and retention, and strengthening the bottom line.
The PATH team consults on key enterprise challenges including business transformation, onboarding, talent acquisition, management, and retention, expatriate assignments, US startup and expansion, and more.
› CONTENT CREATION AND EDITING
How does your written message convey your business and personal brand to your audience? For potential clients, your online presence is often the first introduction to your company. Utilizing experience in business, academic writing and proofreading for student dissertations, PATH HR works with clients on content conceptualization, writing, editing, and putting your best foot forward before taking your stories live.
› FINANCIAL LANDING FOR EMPLOYEES WITHOUT US CREDIT HISTORY
Arriving in the US can be overwhelming without a financial history in the country. Even for those who have a flawless history, arriving in the US without a prior financial relationship has proven to be challenging. Any established credit one has in his or her home country does not travel with them to the US. When employees are trying to settle down in a new country, the last thing they need to be concerned with is accessing financial resources.
PATH HR offers a global banking alliance with over 20 years of experience in global financial services helping international assignees make a smooth transition to their new home. Together we provide a single point of care for multiple account openings to offer employees a financial infrastructure ahead of arrival. Enjoy a convenient, remote onboarding process serviced by an international banking team. Services include opening credit and debit accounts and access to car programs pre-departure and mortgage after arrival.

Her expertise, attention to detail, honesty, drive and dedication make her a great business partner. I look forward to future projects with Laura.”
“Laura handled my case when I was moving to US from India. Every move comes with a new set of complexity and she knows what challenges a customer would be facing and presents all answers beforehand. She quickly tries to resolve any complicated issues and questions. Her organizational skills are great. She created a bridge between me and my hiring division. I know her customers would agree that she always goes above and beyond expectations. After completing our successful move to US, she still asks about the well-being of my family. She has strong interpersonal and customer relationship skills. I would highly recommend her.”
“I contacted Laura seeking her help to locate a candidate for a position that was hard to fill because it required a diverse skill set. The job description and requirements were shared, and then we had a follow up discussion regarding the industry, position requirements and experience we were looking for. Laura asked quite a few questions in detail so she would have a knowledgeable understanding of the position, skills and qualities that were a priority for us, the company culture, and how the team was organized. We received complete information from the initial screens she conducted. Her screening process was effective in providing both candidates that fit the experience profile we were searching for and wanted to interview. She was prompt with updates and stayed in touch regularly. ”
