"While CUSOURCE continues to remain focused on providing content and getting the ‘learning to the learner', we are often asked to recommend talent management solution providers.

Clients continue to select Halogen's talent management suite for financial services because it addresses the industry's unique needs.

"We expect the solution to save our employees valuable time and we are excited about where we can take our talent management processes from here."
