Direct sourcing shifts recruiter functions in-house, enabling managers to search through a Talent Network, a group of vetted independents, to match skill sets with project opportunities and better anticipate future engagement needs. By looking beyond traditional channels of labor procurement like staffing firms, companies can streamline their process to fill their requisitions faster while saving 30-70% per engagement.
As part of a scalable multichannel agile workforce optimization plan, enterprise-grade direct sourcing platforms enable organizations to easily source, engage, and manage independent talent with mitigated compliance risk.
Direct sourcing platforms and solutions empower companies to leverage their own enterprise brand to engage contingent workers of all types in a faster, more cost-effective way that often results in an overall better experience for placed resources and engagement managers alike.
In this guide, you will get a comprehensive overview of the Direct Sourcing landscape, what to look for in a solution, and how to make it work for your organization. Remember to download the interactive checklist to help identify and define your specific needs.
This guide is focused on giving you tools that you need to plan and launch a direct sourcing program in your enterprise. We’ll start with your business case, including the all-important skills assessment, and also cover who should be involved in program planning and the planning journey itself. We will then look at what to keep in mind to make progress within the company and the keys to success as your program is rolled out.
