Do thy do much work in the talent management space. My impression is they primarily do compensation work (like 80+ percent is comp)

We definitely do work in the talent management space. Compensation is a huge chunk of our business however if you align yourself with the partners that sell talent strategy work you can easily focus on that here rather than compensation
