Three successful IT talent solutions providers—Talent Group, EdgeLink and Queen Consulting Group—announce their evolution into a new unified brand, called Talent Groups. Talent Groups merges the complementary strengths of three experienced industry leaders to offer outstanding talent solutions that help clients grow their businesses while consultants and candidates build thriving careers.

The new firm is dedicated to prioritizing the creation of long-lasting partnerships while providing tailored solutions that go beyond just matching skillsets and keywords. By harnessing the collective strengths of its parts, Talent Groups is poised to offer a more expansive and integrated approach to IT talent solutions.

Created through Talent Group’s acquisition of EdgeLink in 2021 and of Queen Consulting Group in 2022, the newly rebranded Talent Groups is already seeing growth and an expanding client base.

Built on a Foundation of Strong Values

Talent Groups’ mission is to connect great talent with great opportunities through exceptional experiences and to provide that experience to clients, consultants, and candidates in every engagement. Five core values lie at the heart of every aspect of Talent Groups’ operations: integrity, teamwork, professionalism, trust, and excellence.

“Everyone on our team believes in setting the highest standards of excellence, and operating with integrity, trust and professionalism in all our interactions,” said Matthew Ripaldi, CEO of Talent Groups. “Our values were voted on and agreed upon by our employees, and they reflect our shared commitment to building a culture of excellence. Our goal is to empower businesses of all sizes to overcome their hiring challenges. We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience that sets us apart from other staffing firms.”

Brand Mirrors the Mission



Talent Groups’ new brand identity reflects its commitment to its core values, while positioning Talent Groups as the go-to partner for businesses seeking exceptional IT talent solutions.

Talent Groups’ new logo features the letter E depicted as three bold horizontal lines: a staircase symbolizing progress, growth and the continuous journey of careers, teams, and businesses. The vibrant blue color palette with a yellow accent represents trust, reliability, and stability—qualities fundamental to the company’s values and mission.

The firm’s new website, talentgroups.com, showcases the extensive capabilities and service offerings of Talent Groups, and features an enhanced user-friendly jobs board, compelling case studies and testimonials from clients, consultants, and candidates.
