The Case for a New Model for Temporary Professional Staffing |
The Case for a New Model for Temporary Professional Staffing
- Understand the history and “business” of temporary staffing from the “inside.” Why did the traditional business model fail, causing the current stampede - by both staffing firms and clients alike - toward VMS, RPO, etc.?
- The skilled labor shortage and desire for job flexibility demand a new model for the credible delivery of temporary professional (“interim” or “contract”) staffing. If so, why is the industry resistant to change?
- Learning why and how the temporary staffing model has failed will help you critically evaluate the myriad staffing, VMS and RPO services being marketed today.
