Houston-Based Recruitment & Retention Consultants

There Are Two Sides of Adding Talent: Hiring and Retaining

We believe that the investment to build a more effective recruiting process enables smart hiring decisions and is a major contributor to profitable outcomes. With the right people and skillsets, you’ll be prepared to take full advantage of the opportunities that come your way. We work with your internal HR and hiring managers to assess your current recruitment process, toolkits, needs, and challenges.

A Proactive Path for Effective Recruitment Practices

Recruiting for retention means hiring candidates whose skills, values, and long-term goals align with your business. This focus reduces turnover costs and improves employee satisfaction from day one. By implementing a targeted, value-based hiring progress, your leaders can more effectively cultivate loyal, long-term employees.

Onboarding Sets the Tone for Retention

The effort to keep an employee engaged and committed begins their first day with effective tools and techniques for each stage of the employee life cycle. Intentional onboarding, clear roles, growth and development opportunities, continuous feedback, competitive pay, healthy culture, and work- life balance all work together to retain a skilled, engaged, committed team.

Our first priority is to develop highly effective internal recruiting capabilities for your business through our Fractional HR Services.

Achilles Group's Hourly On-Demand Recruiting Services

We Use Our Knowledge of Your Business, Culture, and the Position's Requirements to Find Best Fit Candidates

Most businesses lack an ongoing initiative or internal dialogue to build strong recruiting processes. Then, when you need to find the best and brightest talent, you’re left with a reactive approach that falls on the shoulders of your over-extended hiring manager.

Recruiting Can Feel Complicated

Focused Efforts

We collaborate with your hiring manager to identify key charicteristics and attributes to create a recruiting profile. Then, we post the job and review applicants’ resumes. We even conduct preliminary virtual interviews to qualify candidates and provide you with feedback. This seamless process gives you back your bandwidth without paying traditional recruiting contingency fees.

Skilled Delivery

From our Fractional HR work with your team, we use the knowledge of your business, culture, and position requirements we’ve gained to find right fit candidates for your role.

Reduced Cost

Tradtitional recruiting agency fees are typically a high percentage of the new employee’s salary. With TalentConnection, you’ll save with an hourly fee for our expertise rather than paying a percentage of your new hire’s salary.

The Achilles Team Has Been Vitally Important Given The Many Dynamics Of HR

We started out as a new company in 2020 that emerged from a group of experienced leaders and employees in the flight services industry. We knew we needed HR support through a real partner so we would not have to figure things out on our own, and we were not going to bring that function in-house. The Achilles team has been vitally important given the many dynamics to HR. It’s reassuring and gives us the confidence that our questions, issues, and problems will be resolved.

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing, and we didn’t know how to get there. We worried about many HR topics like compliance gaps, records retention, how to on-board new employees, and how to develop our leaders. Achilles not only guided in all those areas, but they spent a lot of time with us and provided the manpower needed to take that burden off our shoulders. It would have been very difficult to accomplish all this from a time standpoint without their team involved.
