Industry Research Confirms Peopleclick’s Leading Contract Labor Management and Talent Acquisition Strategy

Peopleclick, Inc., the leading global talent acquisition solutions provider, announced today the release of Aberdeen Group’s Contract Labor Management: Superior Workforce Strategies for a Demanding Market report. This research includes data from over 330 executives that were evaluated on how their contract labor strategies are successfully managed and executed during the current economic environment. The complete report is available for complimentary download at www.peopleclick.com .

Enterprises continue to leverage contingent labor strategies to combat the effects of today’s economy, seeking to find quality candidates when they cannot hire permanent headcount. The research report shows that 51 percent of the organizations surveyed believe the use of contract labor will increase over the next two years.

This research also indicates that leveraging vendor management system (VMS) technology can help organizations manage compliance, cost, speed and depth of their contingent labor program. The report stated that 61 percent of Best-in-Class organizations actively utilize VMS technology, but only 31 percent have the ability to analyze trends through workforce planning analytics. The lack of an integrated reporting solution makes it difficult to quantify the need for contingent labor and its effect on overall business performance. Understanding these needs are the key to running an effective contingent labor program, and this report indicates that 52 percent of companies surveyed plan to increase visibility into their spend, as a means of reducing cost and gathering valuable information.

“By leveraging VMS tools in the management of contingent labor, organizations are experiencing numerous benefits,” said Christopher Dwyer, Aberdeen research analyst and author of the report. “VMS technology streamlines the entire contract labor lifecycle while sourcing quality candidates. Enterprises currently utilizing VMS solutions have effectively increased visibility into their contingent labor spend by 32 percent.”

“Peopleclick provides robust technology that has helped us create our contingent workforce blueprint,” said Janis Glick, Manager of SMS External IT Resource Management for Nationwide. “With the Peopleclick^® Vendor Management System, we are able to gain complete visibility and transparency into our contingent workforce, make informed business decisions and secure the best talent available.”

“The latest Aberdeen report confirms our vision to provide a platform that manages salaried, hourly and contingent labor,” said Ginny Gomez, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Peopleclick. “Now more than ever, organizations are looking for ways to utilize their contract labor workforce. As a leading vendor management solution provider, Peopleclick provides technology that helps companies analyze and gain visibility across their entire workforce through true business intelligence.”
