Utmost Launches Supplier Network for Companies to Find New Talent
Utmost Software Inc. today announced the availability of the Utmost Supplier Network for companies to find qualified firms to supply them with needed talent.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Utmost Software Inc., provider of the first Extended Workforce System, today announced the availability of the Utmost Supplier Network for companies to find qualified firms to supply them with needed talent.
Finding talent has always been a challenge for most organizations. Until recently, companies and suppliers only found each other through word of mouth or search engines. Now with over 10 million open jobs going unfilled, there's a need to find new partners and different channels to secure talent. On top of that, forward-thinking organizations seek to increase their workforce's diversity, yet struggle to reach, attract, and support that talent. At the same time, a growing number of talent suppliers and staffing agencies are innovating in how they engage, support, and provide diverse talent, whether providing programs for mothers re-entering the workforce or programs to support diverse talent reskilling. These firms specialize in connecting talent with available jobs. With the Utmost Supplier Network, companies in need of skilled workers can find a growing number of qualified firms to supply them with talent faster.
The Utmost Supplier Network features a directory where talent suppliers and staffing agencies can claim and enrich their profiles so that hiring managers and enterprises can better discover, connect, and onboard them. Suppliers are able to manage and enrich their profiles with attributes such as awards, diversity certifications, locations served, and more so that buyers can find the right supplier for their needs. The Utmost Supplier Network reduces friction in the ecosystem by helping companies move quickly and leverage the extended workforce ecosystem while providing suppliers with a streamlined way to connect with the right client and job order.
"The most innovative companies are achieving their talent objectives by embracing the extended workforce," said Dan Beck, Co-Founder and COO of Utmost. "Winning the talent war in a tight labor market requires exploring all talent channels with a strategic versus transactional approach. The Utmost Supplier Network enables the best companies to identify and partner with the best suppliers of talent."
"Partnering with Utmost through the Supplier Network Program is incredibly exciting; the Utmost team brings industry thought leadership together with best-in-class technology and innovation," said Jourdan Block, COO of Equiliem. "When looking at partnerships, we strive to align our core values, and it's abundantly clear that this network does just that. Delivering top-quality solutions to talent and clients is being brought to the next level."
