The new partnership will bolster contingent workforce leaders’ ability to attract and build relationships with diverse candidates.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, February 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TalentNet, the industry leader of direct sourcing technology, has joined forces with CandidateX, a software provider that has purpose-built a meeting place for inclusion-minded employers and candidates, to provide an authentic experience for job seekers.

The contingent workforce plays a key role in an organization’s overall human capital strategy. According to a report from Intuit, roughly 25-30% of the total workforce in the U.S. is now contingent — and that number is only increasing.

More than ever, it has become clear that contingent workforce leaders benefit from extending candidate attraction to include diverse candidates. In fact, a McKinsey & Company study found that companies in the top quartile for executive team ethnic diversity are 36% more likely to experience above-average financial performance than their peers in the fourth quartile.

The new partnership will bolster contingent workforce leaders’ ability to attract and build relationships with diverse candidates.

“This partnership continues to extend TalentNet’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, and in particular as it relates to an organization’s contingent workforce,” says Jonathan Prothero, President and Co-Founder of TalentNet.

“CandidateX offers a unique community and meeting place for diverse job seekers to connect and engage directly with inclusion-minded employers. Through TalentNet's strategic partnership with CandidateX, we help customers and industry partners redefine and reimagine workplace inclusion within the contingent workforce.

“We intend to become the talent platform of choice for the world’s leading inclusion-minded organizations and the trusted home for underrepresented and underestimated talent,” says Sunil Dial, CEO and Co-Founder of CandidateX.

“Our strategic partnership with TalentNet is truly exciting, as we are able to offer their loyal customer base first and exclusive access to the CandidateX platform ahead of its wider market release. We also look forward to working collaboratively with TalentNet to further our respective social impact initiatives for the communities we serve.”

The TalentNet and CandidateX integration is part of the Contingent Workforce Direct Source Ecosystem. Through the partnership, customers are provided with a first-class community and meeting place for diverse candidates to connect with employers, especially when seeking contract or part-time employment. Offering this unrivaled candidate experience is now critical in competitive hiring markets.
