How does independent direct source staffing work?

As your independent Direct Sourcing Curation partner, our team operates under your brand. We power your company’s employer value proposition to attract contractors and temporary talent into specialized and segmented talent pools. 

Through consistent communication, we effectively build a community of brand-engaged and readily available talent, allowing you to tap into this valuable resource when needed. New opportunities are released to them through the Customer Relationship Technology that integrates with your MSP and VMS.

In representing your brand, we improve candidate quality by using our 35+ years’ of resourcing expertise to build self-sustaining talent pools specific to the needs and requirements of your business.
