Direct Sourcing
Turn untapped resources into a steady stream of talent.
Our Direct Sourcing Solution makes your existing recruiting channels work harder to help you win in today’s hyper-competitive talent market. Drawing from these channels, we develop carefully curated, on-demand talent pools with exactly the skills you need. Then we provide an exceptional talent experience through a dedicated team of Onboarding Specialists and Talent Care Partners. All integrated seamlessly into your process, partners, and HR platforms—and perfectly customized for your business.
