It can go beyond simply a recruiting tool and become a strategic way of thinking for companies looking to get more out of their talent acquisition processes. Further, organizations that don’t embrace direct sourcing risk falling behind the competition. In a 2021 survey by Staffing Industry Analysts and LiveHire, 60 percent of respondents either strongly agreed or somewhat agreed that they would implement direct sourcing within two years.
