Trends In Outsourcing: How Suppliers Are Meeting Demands In a Challenging Talent Market
In an era where skilled professionals are in high demand and hard to find, companies across industries are increasingly turning to outsourcing partners to fill critical roles. The outsourcing landscape has evolved significantly, shifting from a cost-saving measure to a strategic partnership that helps organizations meet their talent acquisition goals.
In 2023, nearly 70% of businesses reported an increased reliance on outsourcing to navigate the competitive job market, according to a recent report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

Providers are investing time in understanding each client’s organizational culture, values, and specific job needs before beginning their search. By tailoring sourcing strategies — such as targeting hospitality backgrounds for customer service roles — outsourcing partners improve the quality of their placements and increase long-term success. This approach has led to better job matches, improved retention rates, and enhanced client satisfaction.
