Case Study: The Wellington Group achieves rapid contractor sourcing with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

How WGI finds top contractors in record time

Wellington Group (WGI) is a recruiting firm known for sourcing skilled talent with speed, but locating highly skilled professionals open to contract work was time consuming. With clients often expecting referrals within 72 hours, Strategic Sourcing Consultant Molly Colsant needed a faster way to identify contractors who were actually open to temporary roles.

Using LinkedIn Recruiter's contractor-sourcing filter to search by employment type, Colsant quickly drills into a refined pool of candidates open to contract work before expanding outward, improving efficiency across nearly 40 concurrent openings. In just two weeks she found more than 20 quality candidates (with more in the pipeline), saved time through targeted filtered searches, and now rarely needs to broaden searches to all open candidates.
