Going Beyond Traditional Sourcing

Going Beyond Traditional Staffing: How Manning + Company Provides Strategic External Workforce Sourcing


Companies today increasingly leverage external workers and contractors to complement their full-time staff. The right external talent can provide targeted capabilities and capacity without major long-term overhead. However, finding and managing contract workers through traditional staffing firms has major limitations.

At Manning + Company, we take a different approach to external workforce sourcing that is strategic, tailored and integrated. This premium service extends our core sourcing as a service model used by leading enterprises for full-time hiring.

What makes our approach unique is that we curate our external talent from scratch, leveraging our unparalleled network built over two decades of building some of the biggest companies and most impactful startups of our time. We don't maintain a generic bench of contractors – we source and evaluate professionals specifically for each client's initiatives. This ensures you get the best possible resource, not just the best available.

Rather than simply throwing candidates at you, we take the time to deeply understand your business objectives and talent needs. We don't think of external workers as commodities to be managed – we help curate and engage premium professionals for short and long-term assignments.

Some key benefits our clients experience:

On-Demand Capabilities: We provide experienced contractors across IT, engineering, finance, marketing, HR and other domains to fill immediate skill gaps. This adds bandwidth without bloating your team.

Objective Guidance: We act as an unbiased third-party to evaluate talent options and recommend optimal solutions for your priorities.

Centralized Program Management: We handle all recruiting, onboarding, management and offboarding of contract workers to alleviate administration burden.

Integration with Full-Time Staff: We ensure proper connectivity between external workers and internal teams for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Enterprise-Level Talent: Rather than purely transactional roles, we deliver executive, manager and specialist-level contractors fully equipped for complex assignments.

Flexible Engagement Models: From staff augmentation to project-based consulting, we structure agreements to best fit each initiative and budget.

In short, our external workforce sourcing enables you to rapidly deploy world-class talent for your most pressing initiatives, no matter how specialized the need. Compared to traditional staffing, we offer a more strategic partnership beyond just filling seats.

This service is designed for organizations that want to move beyond basic staff augmentation toward a holistic approach to external talent. It is exclusively available to current Manning + Company clients and partners that already leverage our sourcing as a service for full-time hiring.
