A few weeks ago, we decided to give you an inside look at the daily routines of our recruiters, customer solution managers, and sales and marketing executives. We took you to the front lines as we built up our networks of passive job candidates, sourced and placed temporary workers, introduced clients to the intricacies of a vendor management system (VMS), helped clients understand and address independent contractor scrutiny and litigation, and witnessed the transforming workforce needs of companies today.

If you followed along, hopefully you now have a better understanding of the talent acquisition process from start to finish. And maybe we even addressed some of the questions or needs your organization is currently faced with.

If you missed any of the entries, here’s a quick guide to help you catch up.

• "A day in the life: Marketing and client solutions." I kicked off the series, walking you through quarterly business review cycles, recruitment solutions development, and some of the pressing issues affecting utilization of contingent labor in health and life sciences.
