LiveHire (LVH:ASX), an Australia-based talent technology company and provider of a direct-sourcing platform, announced that it has been awarded a Managed Direct Sourcing contract with newly announced partner Alexander Mann Solutions.

The end client of the Managed Direct Sourcing contract with AMS is a major Fortune 100 global consumer focussed corporation with a large global contingent workforce. LiveHire and AMS were the successful joint bidders in a Managed Direct Sourcing competitive tender process.

The initial launch of the Managed Direct Sourcing solution will focus exclusively on a dedicated proportion of the end client’s US contingent program, with scale expected across the program upon successful outcomes.

Mark Jones, Executive Vice President of AMS, said, “In today’s dynamic business environment, every company needs to have a strategy and solution for engaging contingent talent. At AMS, contingent direct sourcing has been at the core of our contingent proposition. Through our alliance with LiveHire, we’re joining world class branded direct sourcing with technology to drive diverse, high quality talent pools.”

Last week, Staffing Industry Analysts published a custom research report ‘Achieving Excellence in Direct Sourcing for the Contingent Workforce’ commissioned by LiveHire and Raise. The study draws from surveys among 158 separate organisations, deep-dive interviews among leading practitioners, and an analysis of data from 20,000 contingent hires. The report is available as part of SIA’s free resources.
