The market consists of a finite and close-knit group of people.
Impact of COVID & Remote Working
Even before the pandemic, there were segments of the workforce that were decentralized, working outside the office. However, shifting mentalities have convinced more organizations that they can function without bringing their team into the office—especially in the IT sector. Now that remote work is normalized, many organizations in need of niche talent their own recruiting engine can’t attract the people they need.

Think Advance Scheduler or Activities with UKG WorkForce Dimensions, Absence Management for Workday, or migrating to SAP EC Payroll. There are often a small number of early adopters, and the size of that workforce was commensurate to the demand, but the workforce has failed to scale alongside the rise in demand.
