Own your talent relationships
Most organizations rehire the same proven contractors through their MSP and agencies, at full markup, every time. Direct Sourcing under your own brand keeps talent connected, so every hire builds advantage.
Without Direct Sourcing, value is lost
Your MSP program manages requisitions, suppliers and spend effectively. But when an assignment ends, what happens to your talent?
Full markup, again
Proven contractors leave, then come back through an agency.
Time-to-fill resets
Roles you've filled before take weeks to recruit.
Knowledge lost
When talent leaves, experience and insight do too.
Contingent talent disengaged
Your employer brand stops at permanent hires.
With Direct Sourcing, value compounds
Direct Sourcing keeps you in direct relationship with proven contingent talent over time, giving you:
Immediate access.
Activate quality contingent talent in days, not weeks.
Talent Pool Management.
Build an active bench of talent you can trust.
No extra agency fees.
Stop paying repeat markup on talent you already know.
Full visibility.
Every redeployment backed by data, not guesswork.
