When it comes to hiring, many companies only call in an RPO provider when the alarm bells start ringing. It may be because they are scaling quickly, and they do not have the recruitment resource to cope in-house. Alternatively, they may have skills shortages in specialist areas and have realised they need to outsource help […]
How effective is your organisation at finding and engaging with early contingent talent? You might think your MSP’s current approach to hiring young temporary, contract and freelance workers is fine as it is. After all, there are plenty of providers out there that can source high volumes of candidates faster than you can say ‘overreliance […]
Whether organisations are consciously aware of it or not, every business has an employer brand. Employer branding encompasses how candidates perceive your organisation. Your reputation as an employer. Your values, culture and employee experience. At one time, organisations weren’t heavily invested in shaping this perception. But times have changed. In the continual battle for talent, […]
For traditional Managed Service Providers, change has never been high on the agenda. But the truth could finally be catching up with those providers who refuse to accept that the status quo in contingent workforce management is being overturned.

It feels as though there are a lot of recruitment providers out there that are still just going through the motions. An RPO solution which lacks vision and strategy must evolve their offering. There is no doubt that, amongst clients, the appetite for change is greater than ever. But what does a fresh approach to […]
Contingent workforce management is a challenge that many organisations find difficult. The contingent workforce ebbs and flows quickly and the responsibility for contractors, freelancers and temporary workers often lies in different places.
