Kelly Services(R) and oDesk(R) Announce Alliance, a First Between a
Workforce Solutions Company and an Online Work Platform
Kelly's Clients Able to Tap Into Global Community of Nearly Five
Million Freelancers via oDesk
TROY, MI and REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2013) -
Kelly Services® (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB) a leader in
providing workforce solutions, today announced it is teaming up
with oDesk®, the world's largest online workplace, whereby oDesk
will be a component of KellyOCG's talent supply
chain. KellyOCG® is the Outsourcing and Consulting Group of
Kelly Services. This alliance, the first between a workforce
solutions company and an online workplace, will help large
organizations integrate freelancers, working both locally and
virtually via the Internet, into their flexible workforce.
KellyOCG serves as the talent supply chain manager to
organizations helping them to optimize the access, compliance and
cost-effectiveness of their supply base -- including both incumbent
and new providers. Teaming up with oDesk enhances value by
providing clients with access to oDesk's global community of nearly
five million professionals, for scalable and custom
solutions. In addition, by including oDesk into their talent
supply chain, KellyOCG will provide organizations with visibility
into their independent contractor (IC) spend, often a missing link
when freelancers are procured outside of an outsourced program.
"In the coming years, businesses will increasingly augment local
staffing by tapping into online talent in order to meet their
overall resource needs," said Matt Cooper, Vice President of
Business Development & International, oDesk. "This
alliance leads the way for larger enterprise businesses to access
the best talent in the world, no matter where it
resides."
"The increase in project work as well as talent shortages in
critical skill categories are requiring companies to look beyond
historical channels to meet their talent needs," said Teresa
Carroll, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
KellyOCG. "Integrating oDesk into our supplier network helps
our clients access the rapidly growing online workforce, increasing
their agility and access to key talent in their outsourced
program."
For clients worldwide, KellyOCG guides and manages all
categories of full-time and contingent talent acquisition to
strategically drive business growth. To learn more about how
