Recently, as many as 60% of all companies have planned or put into practice the strategy of direct sourcing. Direct sourcing is when you segment certain candidates and cultivate them  to ensure a talent pool ready to go if you need to hire. A key benefit to those who use it is the reduced cost of candidate searches, which benefits 98% of businesses. Business using direct sourcing can also ensure diversity of candidates, better candidate skill and experience, and far faster hiring cycles.

But direct sourcing also helps to circumvent extreme implicit costs. Around half of all staffing firms say labor shortages were the largest challenge last year, and unfilled jobs cost companies over $8.5 trillion. Especially, when competing with businesses that  use direct sourcing, it can be hard to keep up with the faster rate of hiring and the ability to easily select the most qualified candidate for the job.

Ultimately, direct sourcing seems to be a part of the future of business hiring. The best way to reap the rewards is to hire companies like AtriumWORKS.
