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.

The association’s quarterly Staffing Employment and Sales Survey for the third quarter of 2023 is now open. Staffing companies that complete the brief survey—including search and placement firms—will have access to an exclusive report on the results, enhanced with graphs. The report, which participants can download from the ASA website, also includes an executive summary, plus sales category and sector-level data.

The data collected by this survey enable ASA to track staffing sales and gross margin trends and provide direct hire metrics. Participate in the Staffing Employment and Sales Survey by Dec. 1 to get the staffing industry information you’re looking for.

There are no fees to participate. Register to take the survey, or view the questionnaire, at americanstaffing.net/quarterly-survey.
