Solution ProvidersTechnology and Innovation by Christopher J. Dwyer on

Over the past several weeks, the Future of Work Exchange has showcased a series of articles dedicated to the latest wave of innovation in the realm of technology associated with the Future of Work movement. This special feature series shone a spotlight on trailblazing providers who are not only transforming the methods by which businesses discover, engage, acquire, and oversee talent but also on how they harness this talent to enhance their work processes.

With advancements in areas like direct talent acquisition, digital staffing, Vendor Management Systems (VMS), extended workforce management, total talent management, and Managed Service Provider (MSP)-led services, the field of workforce solutions has emerged as a revolutionary influence in the contemporary business landscape. Its nimbleness empowers companies to stay at the forefront of change, its adaptability aligns with the shifting nature of work, and its relentless pursuit of innovation consistently reshapes the terrain of talent acquisition and management.

As businesses continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of talent, the workforce solutions industry remains an essential catalyst for success, providing the essential tools and strategies necessary to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment. Today, we introduce four additional solutions that epitomize this new era of innovation.

Ceipal

It’s no secret that the dynamics of talent engagement, talent acquisition, and talent management are shifting alongside the greater world of work. Businesses that want to thrive during an age of true globalization must execute on deeper hiring strategies; simple technology alone will not support the omni-channel recruitment initiatives that are required to find, engage, and hire Best-in-Class talent and expertise.

Ceipal represents the future of total talent management in that the platforms offers a robust, real-time convergence of ATS, contingent workforce management, diversity automation, CRM, and traditional talent management. The arrival of the company’s proprietary VMS solution, ProcureWise, enables Ceipal to traverse into new and innovative territory; the organization’s forward-thinking vision includes a future that is paved with Future of Work-era digitization, seamless talent acquisition, and total talent management technology.

Mothership

The realm of digital staffing continues to transform the Future of Work arena. Years ago, that very phrase, “digital staffing,” was typically associated with automated staffing processes via digital outlets of freelancers and contractors (such as Freelancer Management Systems). Today, digital staffing represents a veritable talent revolution, with shifting functionality that is tailored for a volatile labor market and the progression of talent acquisition.

At its core, Mothership stands as an innovative digital staffing platform, seamlessly connecting users to a roster of elite talent by harnessing a dynamic fusion of total talent strategy, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robust workforce management capabilities. Embodied as a true “ecosphere” of technology, Mothership transcends conventional talent acquisition paradigms, offering its clientele immediate access to a diverse spectrum of candidates, spanning the realms of creativity, professionalism, administration, and beyond.

ProHance Analytics

Data is the foundation of workforce management in today’s hyper-competitive, globalized market. As workforces become more diverse, distributed, and comprised of various channels of expertise, enterprises will require tools that streamline analytics and provide real-time guidance regarding productivity, performance, and a viewpoint into a “future state” of how the workforce will look given internal and external factors.

ProHance is an industry leader within the realm of enterprise workforce analytics, productivity intelligence, and operational empowerment, delivering an advanced, cloud-based platform tailored for the hybrid work environment and productivity enhancement. In an age when remote and hybrid work has become table stakes for the contemporary enterprise, solutions like ProHance enable businesses to track productivity beyond simple metrics and generate real-time workforce intelligence to the executive leaders that crave actionable insights.

VectorVMS

The extended workforce has only grown in its sheer impact and value during mid- and post-pandemic times, as Ardent Partners and Future of Work Exchange have discovered (fun fact: 49.% of the average company’s overall workforce is comprised of external talent). VMS technology has come a long way since its inception as “eProcurement for staffing,” with today’s vendor management platforms serving as the true nexus of extended workforce management.

VectorVMS is a progressive VMS platform that prioritizes not only the traditional elements of contingent workforce management, but also presents an agile, end-to-end suite of solutions that include innovative attributes, such as learning and development, deeper DE&I automation, robust flexibility for CWM programs that require nimble functionality, and a shared services offering that blends the power of its VMS platform with MSP-like offerings.

Key Providers for 2022: LiveHire

Direct SourcingSolution ProvidersTechnology and Innovation by Christopher J. Dwyer on

The Background:

Over the next two years, nearly 70% of business leaders expect to implement an “integrated” talent acquisition strategy within their organizations, according to Ardent Partners and Future of Work Exchange research. This mode of approach towards worker engagement, in essence, translates into the ability to blend traditional measures of talent acquisition with new and innovative means to foster better relationships with candidates and drive recruitment success.

An integrated talent acquisition strategy doesn’t just render the intermingling of “old” and “new” together, but rather involves a fresh approach towards talent engagement and candidate sourcing that 1) drives better time-to-fill rates, 2) improves the overall success of projects led by both FTE and non-employee candidates, and 3) infuses the greater organization with top-tier skillsets and expertise that can be deployed and retained for both current and future initiatives.

Enter LiveHire.

Why They Were Selected:

LiveHire was the first true direct sourcing technology platform to disrupt the market well over a decade ago, buoyed by its unique mixture of ATS, CRM, and talent community management functionality. They have long been a market leader in this industry, and rightfully so: a truly global software entity, LiveHire has redefined what it means to technologically-enable “total talent management” through an innovative array of powerful recruitment solutions.

The Outlook:

The Future of Work Exchange has maintained, since its inception nearly 16 months ago, that the realm of direct sourcing is positioned to transform the ways businesses think about talent, work, and workforce management. However, no longer does simple automation for talent curation and talent pool development portend an effective direct sourcing technology platform in today’s frenetic, volatile, and dynamic business arena.

LiveHire is well-positioned to not only continue as a dominant force in the direct sourcing market, but also become a revolutionary solution due to its laser-like focus on the candidate experience, innovation within the integration of ATS, CRM, and direct sourcing functionality, universal talent engagement and talent nurture capabilities, disruptive recruitment automation, and frictionless total talent management offerings.
