SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) has announced it launched the SAP Fieldglass External Talent Marketplace — which is a simple solution that helps organizations quickly find and hire the temporary workers needed to support business continuity. And the new solution is available at no charge in the United States through December 31, 2020.

Due to the uncertain business environment, many organizations have been needing temporary workers to help them rebuild momentum and drive revenue. And until now, organizations seeking to fill open positions have often had to work with multiple staffing firms — which is a time-consuming process.

The SAP Fieldglass External Talent Marketplace offers a single and central place where businesses looking for temporary workers and staffing firms with vetted candidates can find each other to more quickly fill open jobs. And the marketplace enables hiring organizations to tap into a large pool of temporary labor while staffing firms can find more opportunities to put people to work.

SAP is utilizing existing partnerships with some of the biggest managed service providers in the world with several premier staffing firms already part of SAP Fieldglass External Talent Marketplace, including Adecco, Experis (a ManpowerGroup brand), Guidant Global, and its staffing affiliates S.com, Corestaff and SRG; KellyOCG; and Randstad US.

Key Quotes:

“It can be difficult for organizations to find the right people with the right skills in the right location, even in the best of times.
