Why Direct Sourcing Doesn’t Work – Challenges with today’s contingent labor programs and how to overcome them

Direct Sourcing has quickly become one of the “hot” topics for owners of contingent labor and for Talent Acquisition teams trying to understand the value. We understand there is some confusion in the market with respect to the current state of direct sourcing, and it is not unfounded. Many direct sourcing solutions have been added as a “bolt-on” to existing contingent processes designed for staffing suppliers. Because direct sourcing is considered an “add-on”, these existing workflows are often disconnected with lack of change management, creating friction and confusion; but we're here to help! We spoke about how organizations can build highly engaged, private talent pools - improving both the candidate and hiring manager experience. 

In this webinar, we addressed these common problems with today’s direct sourcing solutions:
1. Lack of change management creates friction and confusion
2. Programs are not focused on candidate experience
3. Continued dependency on Executive Sponsor’s involvement in program
4. Bolt-on approach
5. Disconnected workflows
6. Poor hiring manager visibility into the available talent
7. Skipping the foundational fundamentals for success
