Don’t miss the ASA webinar “From Cost Cutting to Competitive Advantage: The Nearshore Shift.” It takes place today from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern time. Learn from business analysts Glenda Quiroz and Adleigh Hunter how nearshore hiring—outsourcing work to countries close by instead of several time zones away—is helping staffing firms scale operations, maintain delivery speed, and unlock agility in a blended staffing model. Sponsored by ASA corporate partner VensureHR Staffing Alliance.

All ASA webinars are complimentary for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.
