Unprecedented talent challenges are threatening organizations’ growth plans and potential; in particular, unprecedented talent scarcity, the Great Resignation, and rising salaries/wages pose huge challenges for enterprises. Amid these growing talent challenges, contingent talent or the extended workforce is emerging as the next frontier for disruption and innovation. The contingent talent acquisition model is also undergoing a dramatic transformation, especially in the US, with the direct sourcing of individuals upending the traditional model that relied on staffing suppliers. If done right, direct sourcing can provide organizations with the next level of workforce agility and flexibility in the next normal.

This study answers enterprise questions on direct sourcing; creates awareness about its benefits, components, and the different direct sourcing models prevalent in the market; and elaborates on the considerations and implications for enterprises as they create a roadmap for direct sourcing adoption.
