Great session from Patricia Maroto Gómez and an important reminder about posting content that aligns with themes you genuinely believe in (not just Crystal Palace). The Region is driving demand for RPO/embedded solutions, but most approach with a misconception. They view embedded/RPO as simply placing a recruiter on-site at internal talent acquisition costs. This is the knowledge gap we’re addressing. When you embed Halian, you’re not hiring a recruiter but accessing Halian as a Service. Our entire recruitment ecosystem backs your dedicated client partner: global sourcing networks, AI-enabled tools, proprietary candidate databases, and proven methodologies refined across thousands of placements worldwide. The fundamental difference is between infrastructure and the individual. You’re not paying for a person. You’re investing in proven recruitment infrastructure that delivers faster fills, higher quality candidates, and scalable capacity without the overhead of building these capabilities internally. Halian as a Service (HaaS) 😜

What Most Staffing Firms Overlook in VMS Hiring: ✔ Gain an understanding of MSP dynamics to successfully navigate response cycles, hidden priorities, and decision patterns. ✔ Do not view MSPs as gatekeepers, but as partners. ✔ Equip recruiters with insights that go beyond the job descriptions. ✔ Establish rapid feedback loops to more effectively recruit top talent. ✔ Maintain candidate engagement through proactive follow-ups and timely feedback. #ManagedServices #MSPStaffing #VMSRecruitment #StrategicStaffing #StaffingSolutions #ContingentWorkforce #OffshoreStaffing #TalentMetrics #SupplierScorecard #SupplierPerformance #SLAManagement #AIinRecruitment #RecruitmentBestPractices #RecruitingTips #AgileRecruitment #EmployerBranding #USRecruitment #USAJobs #HiringNow

The most dangerous question for staffing firms in 2026: “How much can we grow?” The better question is harder, and more honest: "Where can we grow profitably, predictably, and sustainably?" This is where firms get tripped up: - Chasing volume that erodes margin - Saying yes to high-chaos, low-trust accounts - Confusing activity with progress Growth that looks good on paper but drains focus isn’t growth. It’s noise. In selective growth environments, clarity beats speed. And restraint becomes a competitive advantage.

How Contract Staffing is Evolving in Tech & Healthcare The world of work is shifting fast and nowhere is that more evident than in contract staffing. Both tech and healthcare are seeing major transformations in how organizations leverage contingent talent. In Tech The rise of project-based work, rapid product cycles, and economic uncertainty are fueling demand for flexible teams. Companies are leaning on highly skilled contractors for specialized projects (AI, cybersecurity, data science) without the long-term overhead. For talent, this often means freedom, variety, and premium pay for niche skills. In Healthcare Contract staffing has always been vital, but the stakes are higher than ever. With ongoing provider shortages, facilities are relying more heavily on travel nurses, locum tenens physicians, and short-term APPs. But it’s not just about plugging gaps it’s about ensuring patient care continuity while balancing costs and burnout. The Convergence Interestingly, both industries are learning from each other. Healthcare is adopting more tech-driven staffing models (AI scheduling, predictive analytics), while tech is borrowing the healthcare model of rapid deployment of specialists where demand is greatest. The Big Picture: Contract staffing is no longer a stopgap it’s becoming a strategic advantage. Organizations that embrace it can scale quickly, control costs, and tap into talent pools that might otherwise be inaccessible. What trends are you seeing in contract staffing in your field? #ContractStaffing #Tech #Healthcare #FutureOfWork #TalentStrategy

TA/Recruiter job openings in the U.S. continue to climb (surprisingly!) For the first time in nearly three years, postings are holding steady above the 45,000 mark. The sharpest demand we’re seeing is from clients in Data Centers, AI, Aerospace Engineering, and VC-backed and pre-IPO tech. What’s especially interesting: this strength in TA roles is happening at the same time overall U.S. job openings are trending down (per the latest JOLTs report). August’s jobs report showed just 22K new jobs created nationwide, yet demand for recruiters is starting to surge. Why? My hunch: - Lowering interest rates are fueling capital expenditures in tech - IPO activity is picking up - VC funding is flowing again - Companies are positioning for broad hiring in tech Recruiting is often the “canary in the coal mine” for hiring cycles. If this momentum holds, it could signal a broader acceleration in tech hiring heading into 2026. 👉 Do you think this trend continues?

Staffing Industry Analysts just released their 2026 forecast. US staffing grows 2% to $183.3 billion. That's not a typo. Two percent. After years of swing-for-the-fences growth targets, 2026 brings the efficiency reset. Operational overhead now determines who survives. The math changed. Healthcare staffing projected 5.74% growth through 2034.  Professional services holding steady. But generalist temp staffing is plateauing hard. Agencies built for boom cycles are bleeding cash in Q1 already. Fixed overhead designed for 10% annual growth doesn't survive when actual growth lands at 2%. We're watching firms lay off recruiters they hired 8 months ago during the Q2 lateral surge. The severance costs alone are wiping out Q4 profits. The shift we're seeing - clients want specialists who understand Legal, Defense, VC Tech workflows. They're paying premium rates for depth, not breadth. Volume plays are dead. Efficiency plays win. Are you structured for 2% growth, or still hoping last year's numbers come back?
