A large BPO services firm engaged us to help grow their contractor base to support their own clients and agencies.
Multiple competitors were unwilling to shape the kind of deal they needed to succeed and so the CEO called in TalentSum to see how we could help. The challenge was that the company had dozens of unfilled client opportunities but no contractors or consultants to fill those positions - and limited experience in developing a talent pipeline and sourcing such a big number of contractors.
Because they had the deals, but no people, the company was forecasting a very substantial revenue opportunity loss. TalentSum took the time to understood their interests and we worked with them to structure a deal what was good for everyone.
The solution was to establish a recruitment partnership where we would essentially act as their recruiting arm (similar to a lite version of RPO) to help them identify and hire a large group of contractors and consultants. The retainer plus performance fee arrangement allowed the firm to easily absorb our costs and quickly place them out in the field to support there own client and agency engagements.
We started in days, and within six months we had hired dozens of contractors and consultants. During our time together, we also were able to help them expand internal resources, shorten time to fill, and reduce their cost-per-hire by almost 300 percent.
