- Globally, the demand for contingent labor is skyrocketing. In the US, contingent and freelance workers currently makeup nearly 20% of the workforce for the average business, and by 2027, more than 60% of all labor will freelance.
To meet this challenge, TalentNet, the industry leader of direct sourcing technology, has joined forces with Glider AI, a talent intelligence platform that enables Enterprises, MSPs and Staffing Firms to bring talent quality to the forefront of hiring programs.
“Today’s contingent candidates are consumers. Like retail consumers, candidates expect a unified, streamlined, and worry-free customer experience, no matter when or where they interact with a brand,” said Phil Cooper, VP Global Client Strategy with TalentNet. “Unifying candidate assessment and talent communities, therefore, results in more engaged candidates and increases operational efficiencies, and it’s through our strategic partnership with Glider that we help customers and industry partners take full advantage of direct sourcing.”
