Carmen Talesfore - Principal

Carmen entered the workforce as an administrative assistant for an insurance brokerage firm in San Jose, Ca. She rapidly worked her way from “admin” to commercial lines underwriter as one of the youngest employees to ever reach that position. At age 28, Carmen met her current husband, Dan, who convinced her to join the sales staff of his insurance brokerage firm.  Carmen’s first year in sales earned her the “agent of the year” award for a national property and casualty company for the entire state of California.  Her second year in insurance sales, she was the number one “rookie” agent in the nation. After an extremely successful insurance career, Carmen made not only a life change, but a career change, too.  Having always been attracted to the “staffing” industry, Carmen took advantage of an opportunity to join a 25 year old Sacramento staffing firm as an account representative in 1994.  Spanning nine years of service with that firm as an account representative, Carmen single handedly increased their production and client base by more than 400%. As always, Carmen’s emphasis was, and is on quality of service. In 2003, Carmen and her husband Dan founded “Talesfore Employment Services” Others in the industry consider her as probably the “best in the business”. Carmen offers the same level of service to all of her clients which include national corporations with thousands of employees to the “two employee start-up”. After more than 13 years in the industry, Carmen is proud of the fact that she has never lost a Client. Talesfore Employment Services provides for most every type of industry other than medical personnel, such as doctors, nurses and their assistants. Carmen’s team has staffed from 1 to more than 100 employees at any particular company which includes a myriad of industries.
