    The US industrial staffing and strategic solutions market slowed down in 2024 due to persistent economic headwinds, including inventory destocking, elevated interest rates, and a cooling manufacturing PMI. Recent labor regulation changes have added operational complexities for providers managing shift-based workforces. Although market demand remained below pre-2022 levels, the pace of decline moderated compared to 2023, indicating early signs of stabilization. Labor shortages, especially in skilled trades, continued to pose fulfillment challenges. However, resilient sectors such as aerospace and defense, semiconductors, infrastructure, logistics, and food processing sustained hiring needs. High-performing providers prioritized these segments while investing in digital staffing platforms, upskilling and safety programs, and outcome-based delivery models such as onsite and cost-per-unit solutions. This report explores the industrial contingent staffing provider landscape in the US and its market impact in 2024. It provides the market’s overview and analyzes how different industrial contingent talent and strategic solutions providers differentiate based on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix® evaluation.

    The impact sourcing ecosystem is rapidly expanding due to the growing interest in sustainable and socially responsible business practices. Enterprises and providers are increasingly incorporating diverse and underserved talent into their operations due to cost efficiency, access to specialized talent, and alignment with ESG and SDG objectives. Traditional providers dominate hiring volumes, while specialists see steady growth in revenue and headcount as they refine talent initiatives and partner with NGOs and educational institutions. Buyers recognize the dual value of cost benefits and corporate citizenship, advocating for more robust reporting and impact sourcing policies’ disclosure. In response, providers are investing in enhanced training programs, certifications, and technology upskilling, enabling impact workers to transition to more complex, higher-value roles. Despite generative AI’s disruptive potential concerns, agentic AI emerges as a promising tool to empower the impact workforce. Key market trends include the CXM industry’s increasing contribution to impact sourcing revenue, growing adoption of impact workers in MEA and APAC regions, and alignment with regulatory frameworks promoting fair labor practices. Governments support impact sourcing through incentives and regulations, while providers adopt inclusive hiring strategies and offer tailored employee support to complement workforce diversity and drive social impact.

    In 2023, the UK contingent talent and strategic solutions market faced challenges shaped by a complex mix of economic, political, and global factors. The broader economic context was dominated by high interest rates, which continued to suppress business sentiment despite the easing inflation compared to 2022. Unlike the US, where talent shortages were common, the UK saw high unemployment, pointing at the persistent mismatch between job openings and the available skills in the workforce. Additionally, stagnant productivity further weakened the talent market. Although the contingent talent and strategic solutions market fared better than the permanent staffing sector, the segments experienced an overall slowdown. Only providers with diversified portfolios, focusing on strategic solutions, managed services, and other strategic investments, were able to effectively navigate these challenges. As we look forward to 2024-25, there is cautious optimism for the UK economy. The new government offers hope for modest growth, which could positively influence the contingent talent and strategic solutions market, though a full recovery in business confidence may take time.
