the notion that they are shifting increasingly toward higher-value, higher-margin services that create deeper partnerships with clients. Interviews with recruiting leaders revealed that agencies that wish to remain competitive are combining these solutions with their existing services to offer even more value to clients, like combining consulting, project management, and recruiting for end-to-end offerings that make them indispensable to clients. But they also made clear they are diversifying into business lines that still play to their areas of expertise. One agency mentioned building on healthcare-related MSP experience to expand into pharmaceutical recruiting. Another made clear that they were identifying all the specialist roles that they had placed successfully in the past and concentrating on expanding in those very specific areas.
