The Growing Need for Inclusive Talent Models: Learning from Impact Sourcing Specialists

Global businesses are always on the lookout for talent sources that are highly engaged and stable, ensuring high-quality work and low attrition.

• Provides access to workers from untapped talent pools in different regions
• Ensures better talent retention through an improved work culture
