Competing for top talent in today’s dynamic job market is like playing in a high-stakes game. Candidates are skilled free agents searching for the right team that aligns with their experience, while employers are scouting for top performers to strengthen their roster. The key to success? Finding the best platform to connect the right talent with any given opportunity. That’s where Talent Shift® comes into play.
Talent Shift began in 2022, when Forvis Mazars acquired Cooper Sachs, a leading full-service recruitment firm based in New York. The firm's co-founder Feargus Dent, who has extensive experience in corporate governance, finance, and technology staffing across the UK and US, played a pivotal role in co-developing a talent platform designed to meet the evolving demands of global recruitment.
Feargus soon joined forces with Christina Howard, a seasoned expert with more than 20 years of experience in consulting and accounting across an international accounting firm, a leading U.S. bank, and Forvis Mazars. Her deep knowledge of recruitment, team building, and performance management made her a great partner to develop an innovative on-demand talent platform.
Today, Talent Shift continues to serve Fortune 500 and large professional services organizations by providing top-tier recruitment services that connect professionals through a subject matter knowledge-driven approach. Christina and Feargus remain committed to expanding Talent Shift’s business model, attracting elite talent who specialize in areas such as regulatory compliance, risk management, information security, internal audit, and an array of skills including tax, finance, and accounting. And unlike conventional contract platforms, Talent Shift provides its contractors with access to Forvis Mazars employee benefits and exclusive perks, redefining the gig economy experience.
Looking to expand your team or navigate your next career move as a free agent? Talent Shift’s powerful network connects top talent with the right opportunities, providing a seamless recruitment experience. With deep industry relationships and a commitment to excellence, Talent Shift is the trusted partner for professionals and employers ready to thrive.
