KellyOCG Partners with Upwork Enterprise to Grow its Human Cloud Solution
April 30 2024 - 9:24AM
KellyOCG, the outsourcing and consulting group of Kelly (Nasdaq:
KELYA, KELYB), and Upwork (Nasdaq: UPWK), the world’s largest work
marketplace that connects businesses with independent talent across
the globe, have formed a strategic partnership that enables
KellyOCG clients to source, hire, and collaborate with skilled
independent professionals on Upwork through Kelly’s Human Cloud
solution.
KellyOCG is the first Managed Service Provider
(MSP) to partner with Upwork, allowing clients to tap into Upwork’s
vast global network of highly skilled professionals across more
than 10,000 skills and over 125 categories of work. Powered by
Kelly Helix UX and Helix Analytics, the Kelly Human Cloud solution
delivers a curated pipeline of highly skilled, niche talent through
one easy-to-use interface and provides clients with unparalleled
visibility into their external workforces.
“This partnership with Upwork further elevates
what has already been recognized as the leading human cloud
aggregator on the market,” Tammy Browning, president of KellyOCG,
said. “Together, KellyOCG and Upwork enable clients to quickly
scale and align their workforces and drive stronger business
performances without the stress and hassle that often come with
engaging freelance talent across multiple different systems.”
“Enterprises are increasingly seeking
streamlined end-to-end work solutions that provide high-quality
talent from anywhere,” Zoë Diamadi, general manager of enterprise
at Upwork, said. “Our partnership with KellyOCG enables companies
to leverage its existing technology, while expanding access to more
independent talent with the most up-to-date skills at scale.”
The Kelly Human Cloud solution offers the
simplest way to engage and collaborate with expert talent by
bringing together the best online talent platforms in one powerful,
user-friendly interface. It uses a company’s pre-existing MSP to
integrate with freelance work platforms and identifies talent based
on a customer’s needs for skills such as strategy and analytics,
operations and organizational effectiveness, corporate finance,
project management, marketing, and web development.
This is a curated process integrated with
analytics to ensure that hiring managers have insight into their
total workforce and independent talent productivity, leveraging
up-to-date support information, a program guide, and access to
unmatched quality talent.
It provides a faster and more cost-efficient
hiring solution by helping companies avoid a piecemeal approach to
searching separate platforms for talent. This helps improve process
compliance, increases transparency to budgets, and creates a better
experience for professionals and hiring managers.
The Kelly Human Cloud solution is an important
part of an organization’s Total Talent Management approach that
provides holistic support across multiple channels. Permanent
hires, project-based talent solutions, and other niche needs are
all part of today’s workforce demands. Kelly gives employers full
visibility into these labor channels by providing detailed
analytics and best practices on sourcing, supporting, and nurturing
their talent communities.
