Talent as a Service (TaaS), the new model in Talent Acquisition

Talent as a Service (TaaS)

Advancements in Cloud technologies created the opportunity for concepts like software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). These “services” concepts are designed to offer cost optimization, speed, agility and scalability. Talent as a Service (TaaS) is a new model in talent acquisition that disrupts the traditional workforce staffing by borrowing concepts from the gig economy and introducing a unique approach to crowd sourcing open roles.  With staffing shortages brought on by COVID-19, traditional staffing models are no longer an option

What is TaaS?

Talent as a service (TaaS) is a flexible staffing model that provides businesses access to hire high-skilled, experienced staff, on-demand.  Vigilant offers TaaS for a specific duration and purpose (e.g. projects) or as a way to leverage a talent to support a role function (managed service).

Be wary of TaaS providers using the TaaS concept to rebrand contract staffing and placement, which retains the same limitations of the staffed contractor, which includes limited experience, lack of ownership, and does not share consideration or importance for building a long-term partnership.

Why Vigilant TaaS?
