Direct Sourcing Recruitment

Reduce Your Hiring Costs

Direct sourcing recruitment is an innovative and a cost effective way to attract and engage talent. Independent direct sourcing has proven to be a highly effective solution, as it enables organizations to minimize reliance on external agencies and achieve greater control and efficiency in hiring processes.

As your independent Direct Sourcing Curation partner, we work alongside your existing MSP and VMS. This helps you optimize your hiring speed and cost. With our direct sourcing staffing services, we leverage your employer branding to build and engage a community of skilled contingent workers.

Implementing direct sourcing often results in significant cost savings compared to traditional staffing methods. Building a centralized database of potential candidates is crucial for maintaining a robust talent pool and supporting ongoing recruitment needs.

How does independent direct source staffing work?

As your independent Direct Sourcing Curation partner, our dedicated team operates under your brand. We help your company attract contractors and temporary workers, by creating specialized talent pools for your needs. A dedicated team manages the candidate pool and ensures ongoing engagement to improve recruitment efficiency, quality, and diversity.

Through consistent communication, including personalized outreach and newsletters, we engage candidates and effectively build a community of brand-engaged and readily available talent. This focus on candidate engagement helps maintain strong relationships, increase response rates, and enhance overall satisfaction throughout the recruitment process. Building and nurturing talent communities also involves creating pools of pre-vetted candidates through talent marketplaces, ensuring you have access to top talent when needed. New opportunities are released to them through the Customer Relationship Technology that integrates with your MSP and VMS.

Why choose independent direct sourcing curation? 

Separate from your MSP or VMS, our direct source staffing team focuses on delivering the best value and service to you as a client. In representing your brand, we improve candidate quality by using our 35+ years’ of resourcing expertise to build self-sustaining talent pools specific to the needs and requirements of your business. We create segmented talent pools by labor categories and specialized skills, allowing us to target suitable candidates more efficiently. Leveraging experience across various industries, we refine our recruitment approach to address sector-specific needs and market trends.

The Harvey Nash Direct Sourcing recruitment team augments these talent pools with additional contingent workers through multi-channel sourcing. Through this approach, we speed up time to hire while reducing overall agency spend.
