History

Talent2 was launched on 1 December 2003, as the first true HR outsourcing company in the Asia-Pacific region. It represented a new chapter for its founders, Geoff Morgan and Andrew Banks, who each had almost 20 years’ experience and expertise in HR and recruitment.

The pair established Morgan and Banks in 1985, which quickly grew to be one of the leading HR and recruiting firms across Australia and Asia. It was publicly listed in 1994 and sold to TMP in 1998 for $380 million.

In early 2002, however, Andrew and Geoff saw that the employment market was changing: companies needed to find new ways of hiring and managing talent. This meant expanding on the range of services Morgan and Banks had offered.

In the following year, an Australian HRIS and payroll software company, Concept Systems International, joined Geoff Morgan and Andrew Banks to create a new recruiting and outsourcing venture, Talent2. This provided Talent2 with crucial HRIS and payroll expertise that enabled it to become a complete HR outsourcing company.

As Talent2 has grown, additional capabilities have been added: executive search, recruitment process outsourcing, HR consulting, learning and, through the acquisition of National Payroll Systems (NPS), SME payroll.

Talent2 has also expanded its network, opening offices throughout Asia Pacific and EMEA as demand for our services has grown internationally. A full list of our offices can be found on our Contact Us page.

Throughout, we have remained strongly committed to delivering innovative and strategic solutions to both our clients and candidates, which has established Talent2 as the leading HR outsourcing business in the Asia-Pacific region.
