Most effective direct hire recruiting tactics? 2014 by Crain Communications Inc. All rights reserved.Source: Staffing Industry Analysts Staffing Company Survey 2013Of the following direct hire recruiting tactics, which one would you say has the highest bang-to-buck return on spend/effort?

22We asked staffing firms: Of the following direct hire recruiting tactics, which one would you say has the highest bang-to-buck return on spend/effort?

Staffing firms reported the direct hire recruiting tactic with the highest bang-to-buck return on spend/effort to be LinkedIn (36% of respondents).

A significant portion of respondents also selected the following tactics: Job boards (24%), and recruit from existing candidate list (15%).

Outside these dominant choices, the two that scored the highest were referral bonuses (4%) and list jobs on company web site (4%).

Very few respondents selected tactics outside of these five choices.

23We asked staffing firms: Of the following temporary worker recruiting tactics, which one would you say has the highest bang-to-buck return on spend/effort?

A significant portion of respondents also selected the following tactics: Job boards (27%), LinkedIn (13%), pay referral bonuses (5%), and invest in look/usability of company website (5%).

So should you spend money on Seo on your own site?

Very few respondents selected tactics outside of these five choices.

Growth is top priority growing revenue, growing market share, expanding clients

What is your companys single top priority?2014 by Crain Communications Inc. All rights reserved.Source: Staffing Industry Analysts Staffing Company Survey 2013

24GREAT NEWS!Survey respondents were asked to identify theircompanys single top priority. About half of firms top priorities were directly related to growthgrowingrevenue, expanding number of clients andgrowing market share together accounted for 47% of responses.

At the other end of the spectrum, items least frequentlycited as priorities included training internal employees, retaining existing clients, and dealing with regulatory issues.

What are the best and worst decisions a staffing firm can make? best decisions: staying segment/niche focused adopting more efficient technology focusing on VMS/MSP

worst decisions: hiring and appointing the wrong people bad acquisition and expansion attempts adding too much complexity to organization 2014 by Crain Communications Inc. All rights reserved.

the client side

What is the skill set for which your organization spends the most money on contingent workers

IT skills on top of wish listSource: Staffing Industry Analysts European Contingent Buyers Survey 2013

"Other" includes:Healthcare, Education/Training/Library, Finance/Accounting, Marketing/Creative and Legal

AS much as 64% of respondents believed that the skill set they reported as teir primary spend accounted for more than 50% of their spend on CW.

By far, the most commonly mentioned top skill purchase in our survey was information technology. Roughly half of buyers mentioned that as the largest component of their annual contingent spend. And we will come back to the particular skills set later in the presentation[Job roles and skill sets that are regularly mentioned by respondents include software developers, IT security managers, IT professionals with business knowledge, but also SAP skill sets]

The next largest category was engineering/design, followed by industrial, other, and office/clerical.

This result is consistent with data from our annual staffing survey, in which staffing firms primarily selling IT staffing services indicated that the majority of their revenue is typically derived from larger companies.

Controlling Costs still tops Buyers priorities

In the current buyer survey, we asked buyers to name their ONE top priority for their program in 2013. In our 2012 buyer survey, we allowed buyers to specify multiple responses. We plot both sets of responses, with the x-axis representing a buyers single top priority (2013 data), and the y-axis representing any of the buyers top priorities (2012 data). The chart on the upper right can be understood to show intensity of interest (x-axis) and breadth of interest (y-axis) in different priorities. Three groups of priorities stand out: In the upper right corner, controlling costs was by far the most commonly cited priority. Buyers cite it most commonly as their top priority (indicating intensity), as well as most commonly as a priority (indicating breadth of interest). Additionally two other general classes of priorities emerged a second class of lower priorities included: Providing excellent customer service to internal stakeholders, integrating our contingent workforce program into broader strategic planning, and globally integrating our contingent workforce program. The third, again lower, class included: Shrinking/consolidating number of suppliers, implementing MSP, implementing VMS, managing independent contractor compliance, and expanding/diversifying number of suppliers. The only priority which varied significantly as a function of firm size was controlling costs which larger buyers tended to prioritize more frequently than smaller buyers.

Most buyers plan to increase their workforce2014 by Crain Communications Inc. All rights reserved.How will your total workforce change over the next two years?

How will your total workforce change over the next two years?

The proportion of buyers who plan to increase the size of their workforce in the next two years increased to 72% in 2013, from 62% in both 2011 and 2010.

Seventeen percent of buyers said that they would decrease their workforce a smaller number than in the previous two years. Ten percent of buyers plan on keeping their workforce the same size.29
