(Pinksheets:TLAN), announced today that it has secured its latest client - Kellogg Company (NYSE:K), the world's leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenient foods. The company was recently awarded Global Preferred Supplier by Kellogg after a rigorous vendor selection process that measured past recruiting performance with other large multi-location business units. Talent Alliance demonstrated the ability to deliver talent on an international scale, and compliance with diversity and workforce management goals which was also part of Kellogg's internal process.
"Kellogg Company becomes our latest client as a direct result of our track record of delivering the right talent, technology, and service to clients on a global scale," said Brian Davis, CEO of Talent Alliance, Inc.

Both sites are free to register and any fees associated with the successful hire of a candidate only occur on a contingency basis with a full money back guarantee.
