Great session from Patricia Maroto Gómez and an important reminder about posting content that aligns with themes you genuinely believe in (not just Crystal Palace). The Region is driving demand for RPO/embedded solutions, but most approach with a misconception. They view embedded/RPO as simply placing a recruiter on-site at internal talent acquisition costs. This is the knowledge gap we’re addressing. When you embed Halian, you’re not hiring a recruiter but accessing Halian as a Service. Our entire recruitment ecosystem backs your dedicated client partner: global sourcing networks, AI-enabled tools, proprietary candidate databases, and proven methodologies refined across thousands of placements worldwide. The fundamental difference is between infrastructure and the individual. You’re not paying for a person. You’re investing in proven recruitment infrastructure that delivers faster fills, higher quality candidates, and scalable capacity without the overhead of building these capabilities internally. Halian as a Service (HaaS) 😜

One of the highlights for me at this years Staffing Industry Analysts Healthcare Staffing Conference was getting to spend time with Hilary Baker and David Folwell talking thru the technology landscape for Healthcare Staffing in the US. The challenges of "technical debt" for the more established agencies and how CIO's have a responsibility to navigate their peers to embrace diligently, but at pace, the potential that AI can deliver for our industry.

The State of the Industry – March 13, 2026 ​The "Staffing Surge" is here. Are you riding the wave or watching from the shore? ​The data for the week ending March 13, 2026, is officially in, and it tells a story of Staffing Resilience. While the headlines focus on a "cooling" labor market, the reality for those of us in the trenches is different: Staffing hours have just hit a 2026 high. ​The Weekly Breakdown: 🔹​Momentum: The ASA Staffing Index is up 3.38% over last year. We aren't just recovering; we are accelerating. 🔹​The "Wait-and-See" Dividend: With 6.9M job openings but a cautious C-Suite, companies are turning to The Standard of contingent labor to bridge the gap. 🔹​The AI Pivot: Skills in "AI Orchestration" are now more in demand than traditional software development. The talent gap isn't closing; it's changing shape. ​The "Standard" Take: If you are still waiting for a "perfectly stable" economy to start your expansion, you’re missing the Q2 window. The most successful partners I’m seeing right now aren't hiring for headcount, they are hiring for targeted expertise to drive specific initiatives. ​The "Staffing Surge" isn't an accident. It’s the result of an industry that has architected a way to provide Certainty in an uncertain world. ​Is your Q2 strategy built on current data, or last year's assumptions? ​#StaffingIndustry #RecruitingTrends #WorkforceSolutions #TheStandard #EconomicOutlook2026 #LaborMarket #SIA #ASA

Healthcare staffing is being redefined by tech, and fast. SIA’s July 2025 report shows firms are rapidly shifting to modular, cloud-native platforms with built-in compliance, automation, and AI. 🔹 AI is making a real impact in search & match, credentialing, and workforce planning 🔹 Mobile-first, self-serve tools are becoming the norm for clinicians and clients 🔹 Integrated, flexible systems are replacing outdated, disconnected tech stacks The takeaway? Technology isn’t just supporting healthcare staffing, it’s driving it.
