What you need to know about direct sourcing

Skills gaps are quickly becoming business-critical concerns, and traditional sourcing strategies are not offering organisations the volume of talent needed to achieve their strategic ambitions.

A Direct Sourcing strategy unlocks access to dynamic talent networks, as well as enhancing the 'pull power’ of your brand to appeal to previously untapped sources.


The power of three
A Direct Sourcing strategy combines the strength of your brand with new technologies and a marketing strategy built on engagement in order to build and nurture a network of skills and talent aligned to your future demand. Unlocking access to the talent you need to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.
