Direct sourcing, or the filling of contingent requisitions with qualified workers that an organization sources from its own private talent pool, can drive cost savings, improved talent quality and faster time to fill. But to effectively implement an enterprise direct-sourcing program and realize these benefits, it’s critical that various technology and service components are not only present, but also seamlessly integrated. Disparate point solutions from multiple vendors can cause incomplete, fractured and inefficient workflows. This results in increased costs ranging up to 30% markup points above the cost to employ contingent workers compared to a single solution, equating from tens to hundreds of millions in cost savings for large, global enterprises.
DirectSource PRO offers employers the industry’s first “one-stop” centralized platform, with key features including:
- AI/Machine Learning-powered SaaS Technology: Helps identify the best candidates for positions quickly and easily, as well as fostering a diverse workforce.
- Direct-Sourcing Curation Services: Enables organizations to leverage their brand to establish, grow and manage a company’s direct-sourced talent pool to realize optimal results.
- Data and Global Rate Intelligence: Provides access to the world’s largest contingent workforce data set of global market rate data to ensure accurate market pay rates for resources worldwide.
- Program Management and Analytics: Delivers the critical visibility necessary to confirm all aspects of the program are running efficiently.
- Payroll and Compliance Solution: Allows companies to better manage enterprise payrolling services, including worker benefit packages, worker compliance services, timecard and expense management and more.
