DETAILS:

The current economy has created a large professional contractor pool at a time when companies are reticent to increase their permanent staff. In this environment, talent acquisition is changing from a job-focused activity to one focused more on talent, and recruiters are more interested in the skills of the person than the position that needs to be filled. Rather than default to the traditional practice of hiring a W2 worker for each position, leading companies are looking at sourcing for talent - filling the right job at the right time with the right person for the right cost. The resulting blend of traditional employees and contingent contractors has proven to be both a talent boon and a challenge for organizations.

Hiring philosophies have to change to keep up with the increasingly predominant view of contractors as strategic role-fillers rather than tactical, just-in-time (JIT) augmentations to the existing workforce. In addition, recruiters and hiring managers will need to have the appropriate tools to source, hire and carefully monitor the blended workforce for legal compliance.

During this complimentary webinar, Dr. Katherine Jones, research director with Bersin & Associates, will explain why a JIT response to filling a gap in the workforce is no longer an acceptable approach today. Participants will also learn about specific and proven steps employers can take to successfully hire – and maximize the effectiveness of – a blended workforce.

HR and training & development professionals, hiring managers and executives interested in learning about hiring practices for contingent contractors are encouraged to register for this interactive session that will teach them the latest strategies for managing a blended workforce.
