WillHire extends its Direct Sourcing & Talent Pool platform to include the first-of-its kind DE&I solution for enterprise organizations to measure and manage diversity and inclusion of their contingent workforce.
While enterprises have matured processes and metrics to monitor and manage their diversity and inclusion strategies for full time employees, they often don’t include their contingent workforce, which is quite sizable in most organizations. Supplier diversity remains critical, but to date has been the only priority for organizations.

Today, roughly 25%-30% of the U.S. workforce is currently contingent* and is expected to grow up to 45% by 2025.** In addition, a recent survey conducted by WillHire’s Partner, SAP Fieldglass in conjunction with Oxford Economics, states that 42% of workforce spend is on the external workforce.
“The contingent workforce is growing rapidly across industries and it’s more important than ever before that organizations take a serious look at the diversity strategies of their temp workers, just like FTE counterparts. Total talent diversity is critical and that’s why we have built a platform to help companies extend their diversity and inclusion initiatives to their contingent workforce,” says Praneeth Patlola, CEO, WillHire.
The diversity solution enables organizations to attract and engage diverse contingent talent through its partnerships with diversity job boards and organizations representing underserved populations so their customers have access to a more diverse contingent pipeline. Additional important features include advanced data analytics to continually monitor diversity of organizations’ private talent pool which includes past, current and and all future contingent workers, anonymized candidate data to alleviate unconscious bias, and candidate friendly EEOC information collection tools.
