SourceRight Solutions, a division of SFN Group Inc. (NYSE: SFN), and Hays PLC announced a global strategic alliance to provide managed service provider, recruitment process outsourcing and contingent workforce management services.

"The global talent landscape has become more diverse, and it is increasingly important for companies to more narrowly define who they are trying to attract to their organization," said Rebecca Callahan, president of SourceRight Solutions. "Our partnership with Hays is designed to help companies identify their specific talent needs and find the most qualified employees across an extensive range of geographies, industries and positions."

The services will be tailored to industries, countries and cultures.

"Through this global alliance, we will be able to leverage our U.S.-based RPO/MSP model to drive recruiting efficiencies across our global operations," said Mindy Aiello, global talent acquisition manager at JDSU, a Milpitas CA-based provider of communications test and measurement solutions and optical products for telecommunications services providers, cable operators and network equipment manufacturers.

SFN Group ranked as the seventh-largest U.S. staffing firm in Staffing Industry Analysts' 2009 list of largest U.S. staffing firms. Hays ranked as the eighth-largest global staffing firm in Staffing Industry Analysts' 2009 list of largest global staffing firms.
