Redefining Direct Sourcing for ANZ

The global workforce is shifting toward contingent labor more rapidly than ever before, driven by the need for agility and cost savings. To maximize the returns on contingent workforce programs, many companies are looking to reduce expensive third party markups, gain greater talent visibility and find innovative ways to attract top candidates.

‘Direct Sourcing’ is when a company leverages its employer brand to attract and engage a pipeline of qualified contractors, resulting in substantial cost savings, an improved candidate experience and better quality talent. Once selected, these temporary workers are often managed and paid by an outsourced services provider to reduce risk and ensure compliance.

From a global perspective, the US and European markets have approached this opportunity differently, based on which stakeholders are involved and which services are outsourced. The purpose of this webinar is to shine a light on how different regions around the world have matured their Direct Sourcing programs and how Australia could define best practice moving forward.

Now is a critical time to get this right, so we have gathered industry leaders from around the globe to share learnings and insights to help shape and refine Direct Sourcing for the ANZ market.
