What is people resourcing?

People resourcing is a strategic human resources management technique that focuses on identifying the best people for employment within an organization. This technique can be used either internally or externally through a staffing company.

In the 1980s, human resources departments began to focus on filling jobs with a people-first approach. People resourcing in the era of globalization requires companies to focus on how employees work together as a team.

Some of the strategies used by companies and staffing firms are hiring from within, rearranging employees' duties so that they are required to take on multiple skills and recruiting new employees from outside the job market.
