How a Global Staffing Firm Faces the Coming Shortage of Technical Talent
CASE STUDY
HOW A GLOBAL STAFFING FIRM FACES THE COMING SHORTAGE OF TECHNICAL TALENT WWW.FULD.COM
Creating the Next-Generation Firm Case Overview
A global staffing company wanted to proactively prepare itself for looming shortages in science, engineering, and IT talent – one of the company’s key markets for placing contract personnel. Working with Fuld + Company, they investigated best practices throughout the industry and assessed their contract talent, their recruiters, and the company’s support infrastructure. What they discovered was a major opportunity to leap ahead of the competition by holistically refashioning their talent recruitment and retention practices, with the goal of creating a new best-in-class model.

The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology predicts a shortage of 1 million technical professionals in the coming decade. As a result, staffing companies will be compelled to compete ferociously for this limited pool of talent – not simply to contract them out for one-off assignments but to win their loyalty for repeated assignments.

Differentiating on Quality Key Business Challenges
The market for contract talent has traditionally been highly commoditized. The only way a firm can differentiate itself from the competition is through the quality of its talent. Because high-demand technical talent will be able to go with any staffing firm they choose at any time, our client wanted to find the right formula for recruiting them and winning their long-term loyalty.

A Holistic Solution The Fuld Approach
Although our competitive intelligence turned up some isolated best practices, we found that no company had comprehensively met the challenge of winning the loyalty of technical talent. At the same time, our assessment of the firm’s recruiters identified the key factors that contributed to their success and the key obstacles that impeded it. Combining those insights with the insights around contractor-care, we developed a holistic operating model designed to ensure a long-term supply of technical talent, to energize recruiters, and to provide the support structure to make it work.
