How Are Staffing Firms Using Technology?

With technological advances constantly offering new ways to source, engage, select, and hire candidates, navigating and understanding the technology landscape can be a challenge.

ASA and Talent Tech Labs ran an industry-wide survey to understand how staffing firms are leveraging talent acquisition technology, and what their satisfaction is with specific tools and vendors. The results of the study can help you benchmark your firm’s use of technology and develop a technology roadmap.

There’s even 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 what the actual industry “tech stack” looks like today.
