About Risus Talent

It’s Kind of a Funny Story

Like most great things (and a few bad things), it started over drinks…an idea that friends with 40 years of combined talent acquisition and generalist human resources experience can join together to serve customers’ talent needs better than anyone else, because we’d have fun doing it.

And while we couldn’t agree on who would pick up the bar tab that night…it culminated in the reality that is Risus Talent Partners.

Risus (R-EYE-Sus) is Latin for “laughter.” Risus Talent Partners is English for “Your talent challenges are important; let’s partner to solve them.”

Laughter is a powerful form of human connection. When people laugh together they share a common understanding, often allowing them to keep an optimistic perspective on life’s greatest challenges. Risus Talent Partners was founded on this idea. Partner with us so we can share in the ownership and solution of your challenges, because they are too important to be taken seriously.

(wait for Risus)

Again, I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful opportunity. I want to thank you again for your open communication.

I know I say this a lot, but the time that Ryan and now Maggie put in to work with me is impeccable and they are a pleasure to work with. They were both just working with me, on 2 separate items, at 730pm. I just wanted to say Thanks.
ClientHR Director

ClientVice President, Corporate Development
Putting in the work! I like the breakdown and great response rate. What are you working magic over there?
Client
The candidates we received are fantastic. I don't think I've ever felt so good in my time working here about the quality of candidates we are receiving.
ClientHR Manager
You are a great partner!! Thank you for all you do for us and making my life easier!
ClientVP, HR
Maggie has a true talent and skillset that has transcended recruiting. We’ve both shared issues with candidates, we’ve strategized some new hires with their onboardings ‘creatively’, we’ve both worked the midnight oil lantern, and Maggie does this all with a smile and a whistle. There really is nothing she can’t do – she has unmatched patience and work ethic. Maggie has been instrumental to the creation of a better structure to our candidate tracking, and that would not have happened if I didn’t have her as support... and I mean like life-support. She’s awesome – I wish I had her as a recruiter for at least 5 of my previous jobs. Love working with her – love working with the best.
