A Lot More Than Books: The McGraw-Hill Companies leading brands include Standard & Poor's, McGraw-Hill Education, Platts energy information services and J.D. Power and Associates

Founded in 1888, The McGraw-Hill Companies is a leading global financial information and education company that helps professionals and students succeed in the Knowledge Economy.

"Although many of the MaGraw-Hill businesses are conservative; in particular the financial services side with Standard & Poor's and Capital IQ, I have to give them credit because they recognize they had a need for greater brand exposure, employment branding and knew it was something that was a growing field."

"A talent community can be whatever it needs to be for what the business problem is that you’re trying to solve."

"At the end of the day, what we want to do is create channels – whatever those channels may be – that are effective in helping us to build deep enough, strong enough candidate pools for the hiring managers. A lot of our hiring comes through internal candidates – that’s our number one source. Our second source is through employee referrals, and we hope to continue to grow that even more through the use of TalentVine."
