Recruitment agencies bring
speed and efficiency to the
talent acquisition process and
free up companies' Human
Resources and other internal
teams to focus on their core
competencies.
The Contingent Workforce
forms a core part of the fast-
growing Gig Economy that
continues to reshape the world
of work. Many contingent
workers are now highly skilled in
specialised areas, where they
are increasingly seen by
businesses as part of the
mainstream workforce, and not
secondary to full-timers. The
talent crunch has prompted a
changing mindset across the
business landscape. Our survey
reports that Asia Pacific
companies are most likely to
offer the same or better rewards
to attract the right talent for
long-term assignments.
In summary, our findings clearly
show that the Contingent
Workforce will play an even
more critical role for businesses
in the way forward. To succeed
in this fast-evolving landscape,
companies need to be ready to
adapt quickly and have a robust
Contingent Workforce strategy
in place.
