Outsized launches Talent Pool feature in the MENA region for companies to tap talent and create new capabilities
The new product feature allows organisations to get ahead of their capability curve and have access to talent “ahead of demand” to service current and future requirement for project-based work
03 October 2022, Dubai, UAE — Companies often struggle with chronic skills shortages, not least in the MENA region. In fact, nearly 2 in 3 consulting firms are short-staffed and even delaying revenue (i.e., delaying projects) by up to 20% of the time after winning a contract because of a lack of skilled internal talent with adequate experience at the time they need them.
To combat this scenario faced by multiple organizations across the globe, the talent-on-demand platform Outsized, has announced the launch of Talent Pool. This is a product feature that helps enterprises visualize and have access to an “always-on” talent pool via a dashboard to quickly be able to deploy skilled, pre-vetted, resources. Through Outsized’s Talent Pool, their clients can have experts join or lead projects in days, not months.
