At Core Talent Consulting, our work is grounded in decades of hands-on experience and a deep belief in the power of people to transform organizations. This page shares the foundation of who we are and why we do what we do.

Our Background - Core Talent Consulting was founded by Janis Schelfhaudt, a seasoned HR executive with over 30 years of experience guiding organizations through transformation, growth, and leadership transitions. Her career spans a range of industries—including technology, healthcare, education, and government—and includes both in-house leadership and advisory roles at the executive level.

Our Philosophy - We believe the most successful organizations are the ones that invest deeply in their people—developing leaders, fostering trust, and aligning talent with business goals. Our philosophy is rooted in strength-based development, energy leadership, and strategic clarity. These guiding principles help organizations not just survive periods of change—but thrive through them.
