Direct sourcing

Direct Sourcing leverages your company’s employee value proposition and brand to attract contractor/temporary talent into specialised and segmented talent pools. It effectively builds a sense of community and engagement, creating communities of brand-engaged and available contingent labour for you to draw upon.

Already invested in your business, these individuals are pre-qualified for cost, availability, and specialist skills. Importantly, they are rapidly accessible at a lower cost to wider PSL market candidates.

At Flexhuis, we operate as an independent Direct Sourcing “curation partner”, working alongside your current Managed Service Provider (MSP). If you operate a large contingent labour population via a Neutral Vendor MSP, this could well be the next evolution for your organisation in terms of strategic workforce management.

Benefits and outcomes

Talent pool development and curation

Operating a hybrid local and offshore model, our curation teams develop, qualify and manage talent pools for your future engagements. Taking the form of a direct conversation, potential candidates are invited to join the community, managing their own profile, skills, availability and rates. Regular communications keep the talent pool engaged with your brand until such time as a suitable opportunity arises.

Improved candidate experience

Working with your candidate relationship technology that integrates directly with your MSP’s Vendor Management System, our curation team build talent pools of pre-qualified and available contingent workers within this system, while engaging them through regular communication. Candidate experience is enhanced through tailored and regular communication of your Employer Value Proposition and updates on future projects that community members have expressed interest in working on. Candidates build a genuine affinity with your brand, enabling you to retain critical skills in your talent pool for future needs.

Speed to deliver

Exclusivity on vacancies allows the Direct Sourcing Curation Partner to provide skilled talent to your business quicker, ultimately saving you money. We typically provide shortlist for every vacancy within 48-72 hours. Closer engagement with the hiring community allows the specific nuances of each hiring decision to have a greater chance of being interpreted correctly and sourced quickly.

Cost savings

The Direct Sourcing model typically provides around a 30% overall reduction in cost. This is a direct saving and does not reflect in-direct savings which include but are not limited to: retention of IP through increasing returners to your business, speed to identify talent and avoiding empty desk costs, improved attrition through contract as loyalty has been driven up through engagement or cost of hiring the wrong person due to a rushed and ineffective process.

Extension to your team

Dedicated, experienced client branded team that works exclusively for your business. White labelled, your curation partner acts as an extension to your hiring team, going to market as your brand which builds trust, credibility and greater traction across all stakeholder groups. Regular progress and continuous improvement ensure we are constantly looking for ways to improve support, but most importantly, as a cohesive unit working towards a common goal.

Enhanced governance and compliance

We provide a dedicated contractor care and compliance team who ensure all candidates passing through the Flexhuis solution are vetted and compliant with local legislation. This supports both the client and the MSP, giving them comfort that all contingent workers are operating legally.
