Key takeaways:
Speed is non-negotiable: 61% of industrial companies expect staffing partners to fill roles within 48 hours, and 13% demand same-day placements — making rapid delivery the new baseline for competitiveness. Staffing is now strategic: Companies view contingent workers as part of their core workforce, with 98% seeing measurable value, including significant cost savings. However, 77% have switched agencies due to performance gaps in speed or quality. Technology and AI are differentiators: Agencies that leverage AI for candidate matching, payroll automation, and real-time communication gain a competitive edge, positioning themselves as strategic partners rather than just vendors.
