Many companies find themselves scrambling to address learning and development needs only during annual reviews, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. But by adopting a strategic approach, employers can foster employee growth and satisfaction and organizational success.

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 conducted an industry-wide survey to understand how staffing firms are leveraging talent acquisition technology—as well as how satisfied they are with specific tools and suppliers.

Take a look at the results for help benchmarking your own firm’s use of technology against your peers and mapping out your firm’s technology roadmap. Learn more at the ASA Staffing Tech Center.
