“We are excited to have Paul Vincent join the Randstad Sourceright leadership team as we work toward accelerating our growth in the SOW services procurement space,” said Mike Smith, Global CEO of Randstad Sourceright. “We’re dedicated to investing in deep expertise to meet growing employer demand for business agility through smart SOW solutions and further solidify our position as an SOW market leader. We’re confident that Paul, with his extensive business experience and in-depth insight in the workforce solutions industry, will help us achieve these goals.”
As organizations around the world continue to face critical talent shortages, SOW based service providers are likely to represent a large share of the labor force now and in the future. According to Everest Group, services procurement spend by managed service providers (MSPs) continues to show more than 20 percent year on year growth, representing a global market size of approximately $45 billion. In their recent report, MSP 4.0: From Contingent Workforce Management to Contingent Talent Empowerment, Everest highlighted the importance of combining the right people expertise – such as category managers with strategic sourcing expertise – with digital capabilities like analytics tools to deliver SOW effectiveness end to end.
