HoganTaylor Merges in Talent Acquisition Group

Top 100 accounting firm HoganTaylor has expanded its talent services business by joining forces with Tulsa, OK-based Talent Acquisition Group (TAG).

As of July 16, TAG and HoganTaylor’s existing talent practice will do business as HoganTaylor Talent.

Tulsa-based HoganTaylor has offered clients a wide array of talent development and talent management services for nearly a decade, including HR outsourcing and compliance, strategic planning facilitation, team-based training, executive coaching, and succession development. Acquiring TAG to create HoganTaylor Talent adds talent acquisition services to the firm’s talent offerings.

“The competition for executive talent is intense across all industries, and we at HoganTaylor have sought to provide value-added talent solutions to our clients,” Robert Wagner, specialty services leader at HoganTaylor, said in a statement. “Joining forces with TAG allows us to offer our clients a more comprehensive suite of talent solutions so they can spend more time on what matters most—growing their business.”

Jeff Wilkie, HoganTaylor Talent principal, added, “We’re thrilled to welcome the TAG team and excited about how expanding our services will elevate the value we provide to clients. Integrating talent acquisition capabilities with our current human resources service line will enable us to provide elevated service to our clients.”

Since 2019, TAG has served clients across the country in a wide variety of industries. The company, now based in Tulsa, has roots in Silicon Valley and still serves many innovative clients in the technology sector.

TAG’s primary service is its executive search offering, which provides retained executive recruitment with straightforward terms, performance-based milestones, and a “white glove” experience for both clients and candidates. TAG advisors also provide clients with general talent acquisition guidance, including strategy, assessment, training, vendor selection, process refinement, and tool implementation.

“We’re very excited to join HoganTaylor. The merger allows us to offer TAG clients a much wider range of solutions for their talent needs,” said Bryce Murray, managing director of Talent Acquisition Group. “Perhaps more importantly, we recognize the rarity of finding such a strong values-based alignment with another organization. HoganTaylor’s values of service, unity, and dynamic embody how we strive to work and support our clients—this natural alignment will enable us to quickly integrate and serve not only further our client base but also seamlessly support HoganTaylor’s clients.”
