There may be more myths and misconceptions about direct sourcing than best practices and success stories. That’s why Raise commissioned the contingent workforce industry’s premier thought leader – SIA – to produce a comprehensive research report that will help programs navigate this tremendous opportunity.
The basis of this report is a survey of 183 contingent staffing program leaders at 158 unique companies, in combination with in-depth interviews with 15 leading practitioners and thought leaders (like us). The report seeks to answer the question: is direct sourcing just a fad, or is it truly the next big thing? Here’s what the report concluded:
