How Are Staffing Firms Using Technology?

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, providing innovative new ways to source, engage, select, and hire candidates. Navigating and understanding the technology landscape, however, is a challenge. ASA and Talent Tech Labs ran an industry-wide survey to understand how staffing firms are utilizing technology and how satisfied they are with specific tools and vendors.

Check out the results for help benchmarking your firm’s use of technology and mapping a technology roadmap. There’s an infographic that highlights the most important strategic findings from that survey—including overall industry adoption, satisfaction with vendors, the average number of technology tools that staffing firms use, and even what the actual industry “tech stack” looks like today.

Court Declines to Enjoin New Jersey Temporary Worker Rights Law

A federal court yesterday denied the staffing industry’s motion to enjoin the Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights Law enacted by the New Jersey legislature earlier this year. Despite finding that the law likely will result in irreparable harm to many staffing firms, the court held that the industry’s arguments that the law is unconstitutional were unlikely to succeed at trial. Under federal law, irreparable harm and likelihood of success on the underlying legal arguments are both necessary for an injunction to be issued.

ASA and the New Jersey Staffing Alliance, an ASA-affiliated chapter, brought the lawsuit along with the New Jersey Business and Industry Association. The associations are assessing the implications of the court’s ruling and determining what the next steps should be in their ongoing efforts to mitigate the effects of this onerous law.
