This collaboration ensures that businesses can future-proof their operations by accessing top-tier talent through advisory, managed, or custom services.

"By setting up this program, not only are we aligning to industry needs, but we're leveraging Insight Global's recruiting engine to help fill the talent gap," said Tatham. "We have the ability to set up the program, create custom standards, and then recruit talent for the program we're managing."
