And for all the contingencies that may come their way, forward-thinking talent leaders will consider more flexible talent in their recovery efforts, according to Staffing Industry Analysts. Facing a global economic crisis sure to linger for some time, many executives are adopting this approach as a way to accelerate recovery and growth.

Are you prepared, then, to make significant investments in time, expertise and spend to accommodate the growth of your contingent workforce?

There is a better alternative to making significant internal investments: an externally provided managed services program (MSP). A customized MSP can help you gather all of the resources needed to operate effectively and efficiently, freeing you to focus on developing the right talent strategies aligned with your business. More importantly, having an external managed services provider delivers the agility and flexibility your company must have to achieve growth and greater market share.
