WorkLLama is proud to sponsor the latest Ardent Report: Direct Sourcing 2023: Scalable Processes, Sustainable Talent. This report surveyed more than 340 business executives about the current market, strategic talent initiatives, and plans to implement direct sourcing. They noted that almost half (44%) are feeling a “great deal” of uncertainty about what will happen in 2023, and are either implementing or have plans to implement direct sourcing to develop talent pools to create a flexible and adaptable workforce. While direct sourcing certainly isn’t new, its rise in popularity is due, in part, because of its “alignment with the world of work and talent.”
