“Best Practices for Implementing a Deployment Platform”
A category of software developed by third-party vendors, deployment platforms work to replicate the features and capabilities of online staffing firms. Working similar to an app, deployment platforms typically include information such as:
- Worker profiles
- Work history
- Automated matching for assignments
- Rankings for candidates and clients
Most of these deployment platforms focus on short-term assignments, such as hourly or shift-based jobs. Some industries in which deployment platforms are typically utilized include the hospitality industry, retail, healthcare, and education. As more industries and organizations rely upon these solutions to support their short-term hiring needs, people need further insights on the best practices and implementation strategies for deployment platforms.
In the “Technology Day” World Staffing Summit event, President and Chief Operating Officer of Talent Tech Labs, Brian Delle Donne was joined by Keith Corrigan, COO of Integrity Staffing Solutions, Ericka Hyson, President of WorkN, Rohan Jacob, CEO of TimeSaved, and Aram Hampoian, CEO of CoreMedical Group for a discussion surrounding the use of deployment platforms.

Trend #3: What The Staffing Firm Of The Future Looks Like
“Building The Staffing Firm of The Future”
If “Technology Day” was any clue, the way of the future is through tech. Previously, staffing firms and recruiters have relied upon manual processes to enter and evaluate data and candidate information. These processes were time-consuming and open to human error and bias.
As technologies emerge, organizations have sought tools that enable them to automate some of these processes to AI and machine learning tools. This frees up the time they are spending compiling data and helps them make a more informed decision along the way.
It’s clear that technology is here to stay regarding staffing and talent management. But, what kind of technology is it that your organization needs to better manage your investments and capital?
In his session at the World Staffing Summit, Vice President of Research, David Francis, is joined by Joanie Bily, Chief Workforce Officer of EmployBridge, Thomas Jajeh, Chief Digital Officer of Randstad Sourceright, Chris Hartman, the Global Development Officer for Allegis Group, Inc. and Eric Gilpin, Senior Vice President, Sales at Upwork for a riveting discussion on what the formula is for building a strong staffing firm in the future.
We’ve all experienced unprecedented changes over the last few years, but with strategic planning and the support of an adaptable tech suite, organizations have navigated the waters well. Staying ahead of the curve and preparing for the future is something that all organizations should be thinking about.
