Smith, a 35-year industry veteran, also will reminisce about life before Employee Self-Service and will provide insight into the innovative services TALX has created to make HR's life easier.

Smith began his career with TALX when the company launched and now serves as a Corporate Fellow with responsibility for the TALX Client Advisory Board. Prior to this position, he was the Senior Vice President of Marketing at TALX. Drawing on his significant industry experience, he has spoken at numerous workshops and has authored several articles on outsourcing and self-service applications in human resources, payroll and benefits.
