How to Leverage Independent Talent as Part of Your Contingent Workforce Plan
The independent workforce is not just growing—it’s becoming a critical component of the modern talent strategy. With over 72 million Americans now working independently, enterprises can no longer afford to overlook this talent pool. As organizations face ongoing skills shortages, economic uncertainty, and increased demand for workforce agility, independent professionals provide a flexible, highly skilled, and scalable solution. For Talent Acquisition and Procurement leaders, this shift requires a new approach: one that integrates independent talent into broader workforce planning, ensures compliance, and optimizes engagement strategies. In this session, we’ll explore key trends driving this shift, the challenges companies face in leveraging independent talent, and best practices for Talent Acquisition and Procurement professionals looking to build a future-ready workforce strategy.

What our members say...
After going to YOUR EVENT end of 2022, I tell people, if you have to choose between Event A, B or ClubVMSA, I would choose ClubVMSA because the venue is intimate, the conversations are more open – where other events it feels more regurgitated. I highly recommend ClubVMSA events.
Pamela Randall
I have been a member of ClubVMSA for many years both as a provider and an enterprise buyer. There is tremendous value in joining this organization. It has been refreshing to have a monthly forum to openly discuss innovation and issues with peers and quarterly meet-ups to learn more about how the market place is adapting. There is no excuse – join now!
Geoff Dubiski
I attended ClubVMSA Executive Round Table event this past week in Half Moon Bay. It was wonderful to make new connections, see old friends, and share thought leadership around workforce programs with Procurement and Talent Acquisition Executives. Thank you for bringing us together and hosting such an impactful event.
Irenee French
ClubVMSA balances virtual and in-person events SO WELL and I believe it is a model that other organizations supporting other industries could follow. While I love the in-person events, I totally agree there is a (substantial) place for building strong virtual pathways to delivering information and making connections.
Allen Chilson
Hello… hope all is well. Thanks again for accommodating my hotel request. Even in the midst of being busy you always show up for your clients … At your level you are very hands on and have a personal touch that I love!
Stephanie Leonard
You guys do a GREAT JOB balancing the engagement of the participants – both virtually and in-person.
