The staffing industry stands at a pivotal point.The emergence of the gig economy and the rapid evolution of digital marketplaces are creating new challenges and new opportunities for hiring organizations, recruiters, and candidates alike. In the United States alone, 33% of jobs remain unfilled for three months or more.
