Are Vendor Managers late adopters of technology? Or is the existing tech not fit for Vendor Management tasks? Willing to challenge the status quo, the team at Creative Words put their heads together to apply existing technology to the freelancer recruitment process. The new system has been deployed and tested to find out if a more advanced, efficient method of selecting freelancers can be integrated in a very people-centric approach. The session will be an overview of before, during, and after the test, including how we hope tech will serve the purpose of fine-tuning selections and vouch for long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.
