SYMPHONY TALENT RECOGNIZED BY IDC MARKETSCAPE FOR “BEING SEVERAL STEPS AHEAD OF COMPETITION”

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2017 -- Symphony Talent, a leading Total Talent Acquisition solutions provider, recently was recognized as a “Major Player” in Talent Acquisition software for being “several steps ahead of the competition in offering programmatic advertising and media buying capabilities natively. Combine this with strong recruitment marketing and employer branding capabilities and it’s a game changer.”

The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Modern Talent Acquisition Systems 2017 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US41542217, September 2017), analyzed and evaluated providers supporting applicant tracking systems.

"Symphony Talent is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with,” said Kyle Lagunas, Report Author and Research Manager for Emerging Trends and Technologies at IDC. “Having successfully integrated an expansive set of capabilities ranging from best of breed candidate relationship management to programmatic media buying to employee advocacy and engagement, they're uniquely positioned to support a modern end-to-end talent acquisition operation."

This recognition from IDC validates Symphony Talent’s focus on helping clients reach the increasingly connected candidate and showcases the organization’s strength in leveraging the power of data, technology and recruitment marketing to attract top talent, optimize the candidate journey and simplify the recruiter experience.
