Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Globally, the demand for contingent labor is skyrocketing. In the U.S., contingent and freelance workers currently makeup nearly 20% of the workforce for the average business, and by 2027, more than 60% of all labor will freelance.
To meet this challenge, TalentNet, the industry leader of direct sourcing technology, has joined forces with Glider AI, a talent intelligence platform that enables Enterprises, MSPs and Staffing Firms to bring talent quality to the forefront of hiring programs.
“Today’s contingent candidates are consumers. Like retail consumers, candidates expect a unified, streamlined, and worry-free customer experience, no matter when or where they interact with a brand,” said Phil Cooper, VP Global Client Strategy with TalentNet. “Unifying candidate assessment and talent communities, therefore, results in more engaged candidates and increases operational efficiencies, and it’s through our strategic partnership with Glider that we help customers and industry partners take full advantage of direct sourcing.”
“Pontoon Solutions is trusted by 60% of the Fortune 500- all with unique needs, objectives, and goals, but one common theme is the expectation we will bring forward innovative solutions that improve their candidate experience, streamline operational processes, and deliver material economic benefits. The partnership between TalentNet and Glider AI hits on all three by providing a seamless solution between candidate attraction through worker onboarding. We’re excited to share this partnership with the world’s leading brands.”
