Direct Sourcing and Your Vendor Management System

In today’s Covid-19 world, more and more businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on external workforces. That’s why so many leading organisations are turning to direct sourcing as an effective means of engaging with contingent workers, rather than using outside staffing partners. Developing your own talent pool has many benefits, including greater control, faster response times, big savings in both time and money, better results and less risk. Plus, you know lot about the people you are dealing with.

But how do you create your own direct sourcing model? What’s the best way to do it?

Market leaders in contingent workforce management like CXC offer its clients some very smart talent technology that enables them to create and manage their own exclusive talent pool, customised precisely to their hiring needs. And it can all be accomplished using their existing Vendor Management System (VMS).

Companies such as Facebook, Thomson Reuters and Boeing Digital have all begun their direct sourcing journey and are already seeing some significant benefits for their business. Our advanced plug & play Direct Sourcing technology is available as a PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution that seamlessly integrates private and public talent pools into your existing sourcing process, from first contact through to settlement, without disrupting any of your existing workflows. This CXC direct sourcing platform, integrated with your VMS, not only enables you to attract qualified talent from online channels, it also allows you to engage with them through non-intrusive digital touchpoints like text/SMS or email, screen them faster with AI-based screening and retain them by offering a first class candidate experience. It’s a low cost, less hassle solution that gives you direct access to an enhanced range of labour channels and ensures you can directly locate, curate and engage with the contingent workers you need on an ongoing basis.

In addition to smart plug & play technology, Managed Services Providers (MSP), like CXC, also offer a suite of complimentary services to ensure your direct sourcing/contingent workforce management experience is as smooth, efficient and effective as possible. These services range from straightforward, no-obligation advice through to the supply of talent management and acquisition strategies and technologies, AI and a range of MSP (Managed Services Provider) services, all designed to give you greater control over every aspect of your contingent workforce.

Is your contingent workforce program and reputation vulnerable to emerging risks?

CXC’s Compliance and Risk Framework ensures your organisation and your contingent workers are protected from ever-changing statutory and emerging risks. Our Enterprise Risk Mitigation Program ensures organisations have protection from risks that arise from program extensions including:

  • The introduction of new technology to source or manage contingent workers (e.g. VMS, freelance management, ATS and marketplace systems)
  • The mobility of workers globally to adhere to local legislation
