I wanted to put this out to the group because I value your input. I
work for a recruiting firm that specializes in HR contractors. That being said, I work with a lot of contract recruiters. Many of these recruiters prefer to work 75-100% off-site. They are highly qualified individuals, but they are a challenge to place because of their virtual requirement. Here are my questions to the group: * From a client perspective, what are your objections to a virtual workforce? * If you allow a virtual/semi virtual workforce, do you set specific metrics of performance for that employee? What systems do you have in place to track the employee's workflow? * Is the hesitation to work with virtual employees because of one (or possibly several) bad experience(s) in the past? * What values or drawbacks do you see from working with a virtual workforce? * To other staffing firms: How have you educated your clients to open up opportunities for this talent pool? |
