To find out, we surveyed 1,200+ industry professionals for our Global Recruitment Insights &amp; Data site. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the top findings: Interdepartmental collaboration is ok, but not great. The average recruitment professional rates their collaboration as seven out of 10, with smaller agencies much more likely to give themselves high scores than larger agencies. Inside of a agency, those in finance roles are far more likely to report communication problems than other roles. Owners and CEOs give their businesses very high marks on collaboration, but this might be wishful thinking, as no other role reported matching marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The report also highlights a lack of team visibility into data\u2014half of respondents don&#8217;t know who their most profitable clients are\u2014and an abundance of errors and manual work. <span>You can find the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grid.bullhorn.com\/spotlights\/roadblocks-unified-and-efficient-staffing-firm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>full report here<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe numbers are clear: most agencies can improve their performance when it comes to running a unified, efficient business. For larger agencies, in particular, poor team collaboration may be getting in the way of results. Businesses of all sizes and function don\u2019t have much insight into their clients\u2019 profitability and most agencies are spending too much time on error-prone manual work.\u201d\u2014<\/span><b>Global Recruitment Insights and Data (GRID),<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/grid.bullhorn.com\/spotlights\/roadblocks-unified-and-efficient-staffing-firm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Top Roadblocks to Running a Unified and Efficient Staffing Firm<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>SIA releases their list of the top 20 global direct hire firms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staffing Industry Analysts has released their list of the top 20 global direct hire providers.
