We talk to Katie Bussey, Sr. about how Talent Fusion is revolutionizing talent acquisition through direct sourcing and the power of branded talent communities. Discover how engaging candidates and leveraging technology create a proactive talent pool, enhancing candidate experience and driving referrals. In this episode, we look at direct sourcing, talent acquisition, contingent workers, MSP, technology, remote work, and branded talent communities. Key Takeaways Direct sourcing leverages a company's brand to attract top talent, especially non-traditional contingent workers. The talent acquisition industry has evolved with advancements in technology and a shift towards remote work. Adopting new technology can be challenging due to complex tech stacks; companies work to optimize these stacks. Direct sourcing complements the traditional MSP model by providing additional talent access and enhancing talent strategies. Engagement and interaction within branded talent communities are crucial to keeping candidates interested and driving referrals. Talent Fusion partners with WorkLama to create fully branded communities, offering a personalized candidate experience and building loyalty programs for careers.
