Why CAI for Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS)

Finding the right talent for the right job is a challenge. The diverse talent pool, skillset mapping, stringent labor laws, remote requirements, and high hiring costs make the recruitment process complex and time-consuming.

With the right approach and planning, CAI contingent workforce solutions can help commercial and public sector organizations improve speed-to-hire and operational performance, lower labor costs, align staffing with business objectives, and increase transparency across contingent workforce management and expenditure.

Regardless of the industry, CAI has extensive experience with contingent workforce management services across a wide range of technical and non-technical fields.

For active programs, CAI has program information portals that provide comprehensive details for hiring managers and suppliers.

"With the help of CAI contingent workforce solutions, the state reduced its costs, improved it’s hiring process, increased competition for IT services, and—in doing so—helped promote disadvantaged businesses."
