About Community

Loyalty isn’t what it used to be. Loyal employees were disappointed with corporate responses to the need for increased profits. The object of our loyalty is now our professions. In the New Economy, loyalty is more of a two-way street.

Professions have developed close relationships with associations, colleagues and institutions. We have become communities representing our respective professions. Third millennium language describes these groups of groups of highly skilled individual members that are segmented by talents, skills, and interests as talent communities.

“One-way street” seems to be an apt metaphor for second millennium relationships between a company and the job seeker. In fact, going the wrong way down a one-way street is probably more description of the employer/candidate experience. A relationship with a talent community is much different that having a resume in a database.

Wilson Smith Associates offers a personal service that fosters a collaborative partnership with the respective talent communities that we serve. We believe in two-way streets: the talent community that we serve is vital to our success and we are committed to providing a service that is faster, better and delivers more value.
