As the U.S. Labor Department’s monthly jobs reports have shown, the blended workforce is here to stay. Employers are now hiring record numbers of contingent workers and relying increasingly on a mix of full-time and temporary employees to achieve their goals. But building and managing this blended workforce presents challenges on almost every front—particularly when it comes to effectively sourcing and hiring contingent workers. In this presentation, CEO of Zenith Talent, Sunil Bagai, explores how business leaders, HR professionals and other talent stakeholders must change the ways they build and manage their evolving workforces. Their shared goal: to make their organizations more nimble, productive and responsive to the changing demands of the marketplace. Attendees will hear Bagai discuss: • The need to think about—and hire—talent differently. • The importance of scaling talent quickly to meet marketplace demands. • The truth about sourcing and hiring the best contingent workers. • Today’s most powerful staffing models and the options employers face (outsourcing, offshoring, managed service providers, crowdstaffing, and more). • 10 tips for hiring talent for maximum results.
