The power of collaboration between global recruitment and employer of record solutions.
Leveraging A Distributed Workforce As A
Key Recruitment Strategy
Introduction
The world of work is changing rapidly, with traditional employment models giving way to more flexible and agile approaches. One of the most significant changes is the rise of the distributed workforce.
A distributed workforce is a team of employees working remotely from different locations, often across state and country borders.
In this case study, we explore the power of collaboration between recruitment agencies and Employer of Record (EoR) companies to leverage a distributed workforce as a key recruitment strategy.
What is a distributed workforce?
A distributed workforce is a team of employees who work remotely from different locations, using technology to stay connected and collaborate. With a distributed workforce, employees are not tied to a physical location, allowing them to work when, where, and how they choose.
This flexibility is a key attraction for employees who want to achieve a better work-life balance and avoid the stress of long commutes and rigid work schedules. For companies, a distributed workforce allows them to hire the best talent regardless of their location, enabling them to build diverse teams and gain a competitive advantage.
Benefits of a distributed workforce:
Companies with distributed workforces report numerous benefits, including:
Boosted Productivity
A study found that 54% of employers reported boosted productivity as a result of a distributed workforce.
Employees are often more productive when they have control over their work schedules and can work from a location that suits them.
Access To Top Talent
With a distributed workforce, companies are no longer tied to a specific market and can capture the best talent—wherever they are.
A study found that 40% of employers reported they were hiring top talent as a result of a distributed workforce.
Increased Retention
Building a distributed workforce enables the work-from-anywhere model, allowing companies to retain talent even if they want to temporarily or indefinitely relocate. A study found that 37% of employers reported retaining top talent as a critical benefit of a distributed workforce.
