Moving from Traditional Recruitment to Tech-enabled Talent Acquisition
Global economic challenges, the Great Resignation, and remote work drive a shift from traditional recruiting to talent acquisition. This transition, marked by reduced recruitment budgets and increased costs, is further fueled by a growing emphasis on skill-based hiring. As enterprises encounter obstacles in recruitment transformation, they are steering away from conventional recruitment agencies, opting for end-to-end talent acquisition partners. This led to an 11%–16% growth in talent acquisition outsourcing from March 2022 to March 2023 and a 23.9% growth in service provider revenue YOY. Both demand-side and supply-side trends are covered in our Talent Acquisition Business Process Transformation 2023–2024 Market Insights™ and Talent Acquisition Business Process Transformation 2023–2024 RadarView™, respectively.

In other organizations, project managers report directly to the PMO and are assigned to projects as needed.
