October 14, 2019

Randstad Sourceright’s 2019 Talent Trends research also found that 76% of businesses are likely to implement a total talent approach to staffing this year. Companies most likely to migrate to a total talent management model include automotive and manufacturing (86%), life sciences and healthcare (85%), and banking and financial services (76%).
