Industry Perspectives
While we continue to hear about high rates of unemployment across the country, we have experienced an increase in recruitment demand from our clients to support continued growth, and consulting initiatives to improve processes, operations and outcomes during the downturn. Organizations may have downsized their recruitment staff and are now faced with the dilemma of how best to address the increase in hiring demands without sufficient staff to support their needs. Likewise, entrepreneurial start-up organizations are beginning to execute against their business plans and now have the opportunity to grow and expand business, but don’t have the internal expertise to support the forecasted growth ‘just in time’. Companies are faced with the dilemma—should they hire and ramp up recruitment staff to support an undetermined increase in hiring demand, or should they look at alternative models to augment staff allowing for greater flexibility in the event business growth is unsustainable? This is a prevalent challenge organizations are faced with in these uncertain economic times, which has created a resurgence of “the leveraged staffing model” for greater agility and flexibility. Contact us to explore various scenarios and options for recruitment organizations to deliver on corporate objectives, while increasing the ability to adapt quickly to unforeseen changes in business demands.
