India’s first TaaS platform for agile workforce is here
The era of agile workforce is here, compelling companies to evolve.
Accenture recently published a report called ‘Shaping the Agile Workforce’. It stated that 79 per cent of executives agree that work is shifting from roles to projects.
Before we dig deeper on this trend, let’s clarify what an agile workforce is. It is all about having flexible strategies that let them hire full-time, contract or part-time workers to fulfil headcount needs. It allows organizations to be nimble, scaling up or down quickly to meet sporadic demands.
While the trend is here to stay, there have been no recruitment platforms that allow companies to hire such talent. Accenture found that 40 percent of companies suffer from shortage of such talent.
The current recruitment choices
Recruiters have to often hire full-time talent from traditional recruitment platforms (online or offline), let them be on bench and layoff when the need ends. Not very ideal.
What is the other choice? Try gig platform to hire freelancers. They can’t expect the same level of commitment as full-time employees and project management can be a task. However, it is definitely a more humane policy.
The third choice – hiring contract workers or consultants is perfect. However, it exists only in the offline format. In an age where we are used to surfing candidates online, it does lead to some frustration. The lead time to hire becomes considerably high too.
The new Flexiport advantage
After working in the recruitment industry for over a decade, we’ve heard the woes of HR managers as well as the candidates.
HR managers don’t find contingent work candidates easily and the cost of recruitment is high. Likewise, contract workers don’t find serious well-paid jobs easily.
We’d like to solve it at both ends by making the fourth choice – hiring contract workers or consultants through a hybrid (online + offline) TaaS platform available.
What do we mean by TaaS platform? A hand-shaking platform for both parties on a subscription model that reduces cost as well as time of hire.
Don’t hire and fire. Hire when you need, if you need with our TaaS
platform for agile workforce.
