What are some of the key industry shaping trends in the staffing domain today?

As we move forward, staffing industry is also responding to these marketplace developments to stay relevant by moving up the value pyramid, and broad-basing their offerings. They are building domain specialization to cater to the unique needs of each industry domain, investing in technology to enhance their own productivity & performance, and focusing on providing not just any head-count but productive headcount.
Gig economy is the real deal today. With all the self-directed employment options available, how can staffing companies remain a valid option for candidates seeking flexible employment?
