The rise of the Blended workforce
The recruitment industry has been going through a transformation over the last few years. So, what has driven this? Well to be honest it has been clients! The constant demand for a more flexible approach to recruitment coupled with an efficient ROI has seen MJ Solutions triple their growth in 2024
So, what is a blended workforce. Well, it is exactly what is says on the tin. A strategic staffing approach that integrates full-time employees with freelancers, contractors, part-time workers, and temporary staff.?A good example is the project we have on the go now in Riyadh.
The client requested c.200 hires per year with a focus on Saudi Nationals from the banking industry. The proposal needed to be a fixed monthly fee with no recruitment charges and a dedicated team on site in Riyadh. So far, after 12 months, we have saved the client 40% in recruitment fees and reduced their spend on their internal TA team, but more importantly the time to hire has been reduced from 6 months to 3.
So, is the traditional recruitment model dead? Definitely not, but as recruiters we need to adapt to a changing market. MJ Executive have had more senior mandates this year with the majority retained but we have seen the "volume" or "project" hires move into MJ Solutions.
If you are a client and want to look for a more cost-effective solution that maintains the quality of service and gives you the results you need then drop our MJ Solutions MD, Jas Sanger, a message to [email protected]

3 天前The concept of the blended workforce is becoming more relevant than ever, especially in industries like IT. The ability to mix full-time employees, freelancers, and remote talent creates flexibility and innovation that traditional models often can't achieve. It's not just about cutting costs—it's about accessing specialized skills and scaling teams as needed. This shift aligns perfectly with the challenges and opportunities I see in IT recruitment. How are others adapting to this trend?
