As finding and retaining human talent becomes more and more mission critical to the IT industry, attraction, management and retention of talent has become an integral part of the business boardroom strategy. In turn, this has led to outsourced HR services being no longer about just identifying the right candidates and placing them. This evolution places new demands and poses new challenges for organizations, which were hitherto providing outsourced HR services. At Focus, we saw this coming early enough and have realigned our business model, processes and structure, to be able to collaborate with our clients in the area of Technical Consulting and Human Capital Management (HCM) and performing in the capacity of their extended HR arm for their IT Technical and Functional Consulting Services.
