THE IMPACT
Recruitment is a board level
priority. Your recruitment strategy
must be aligned directly to
business strategy. We suggest you
start with the following five
suggestions:
BLENDED WORKFORCE – A ‘TALENT’

“WORKFORCE
AGILITY
A blended workforce — one that consists of employees,
consultants, independent contractors and contingent
workers — is quickly becoming the norm among global
companies.
As a first step towards workforce agility: at the point of approval
of a new role, build in a mechanism which enforces
consideration of the various options available.
WORKFORCE AGILITY
When we buy any product we buy with
either or heads (objective value) or our
hearts (subjective value).
When it comes to people and pay rates,
subjective value is typically high.
In this candidate-led market, it is more
important than ever to make sure you
have accurate benchmarking.
We suggest you start by reviewing the
benchmarking capabilities of your
operating model to understand its
potential limitations.
PAY RATE

EXTENSION
MANAGEMENT
For an MSP with an average headcount of 1,000 contractors, they
will ‘process’ approx 650 hires pa (churn rate of 65%).
In the same period, the MSP will ‘process’ approximately 1,300
extensions, twice the number of new hires.
So a larger opportunity for your rate alignment exists through
extensions than new hires.
Why not set the objective of ensuring your extension process is
at least as robust as your new hire process in terms of
requirement assessment and pay rate benchmarking?
SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT AS

“SUPPLIER
ENGAGEMENT
SUPPLIER
ENGAGEMENT
Building relationships with motivated and engaged suppliers will
drive your company’s competitive advantage, ensuring:
1. Quality of service
2. Access to deep talent pools
3. Multiple, relevant, real-time and independent data sources for
benchmarking currency and price
A sensible first step: identify which, if any, of your current sub-
suppliers are key and ask them what they think about your
current operating model.

More employers are engaging directly with candidates via their
websites and social media.
Companies are investing in their employer brands and physical
workspaces to attract the best.
There is an opportunity to become more engaged with your contingent
workforce, moving them towards perm opportunities.
A first step: if you don’t do it already, consider advertising your
contingent requirements using your corporate brand and corporate
website.

IN SUMMARY
Demand currently outstrips supply of
good candidates in key areas.
This can have a direct impact on growth.
The way we find and manage our
workforce is changing.
To get ahead you need to align your
recruitment directly to business strategy.
There are many challenges to consider
but it can be done!
