A Time of Dramatic Growth – How This social Media Giant Centralized Its Contingent Workforce Network While Increasing Fulfillment Rates
A global social media giant faced hiring challenges during rapid growth, with managers relying on personal networks for contingent hires, leading to a lack of control and difficulty re-engaging top talent.
