The right talent acquisition strategy is especially important during a time when most interviews and interactions are being done remotely. While hiring decisions are being made from home, it will be crucial to ensure that talent aligns with both the company culture and objectives as the world recovers from the pandemic.
If cutting costs and saving money is a priority, like most businesses during and even after the pandemic, Direct Sourcing could be a great place to start. Benefits of this strategy can include savings of 20% or more, with a focus on leveraging technology to your advantage. If you have already implemented Direct Sourcing, or have a vision of a Total Talent Solution (TTS), then it could be important to expand your program. See the steps we suggest taking to achieve a TTS here.
DZX’s white paper, “Incorporating Direct Sourcing into Your Talent Acquisition Strategy” provides great insight on different programs hiring managers are using, including Talent Pools, Self-Sourcing, Contingent RPO, and how Direct Sourcing can be incorporated into a Total Talent Solution. Though many of these methods work well together, each provide unique qualities. Download our white paper to read a detailed analysis of each program and learn where to begin when using Direct Sourcing to evolve your TTS during and post COVID-19.
