For professional services firms operating across a range of offices and regions, the ability to seamlessly tap into your entire workforce's expertise is key for capitalizing on new business opportunities, especially those requiring distributed teams.
However, many firms currently using Flowcase have only implemented it within their local office. While this provides substantial benefits over manual processes for that location, it represents a missed opportunity to unlock the full potential of your global talent pool.
Expanding Flowcase beyond just your local office and into other countries provides a major advantage, it allows you to centralize employee data from those regions into one unified source of truth. This empowers you to more easily identify and assemble high-performing project teams by tapping into a broader pool of expertise spread across multiple locations.
While implementing the tool in even just a few key international offices will deliver substantial benefits, the maximum advantages come from rolling out Flowcase across your entire global operations. This creates a centralized workforce intelligence platform that eliminates silos between all markets. Regardless of whether you choose to implement the tool across certain core countries you frequently collaborate with or go all-in on a comprehensive roll-out, you'll no doubt reap the rewards of an interconnected workforce. In this blog, we'll explore these key advantages.
Understand your firm's holistic expertise
With your employee’s experiences from across your organization consolidated into one unified system, Flowcase gives firms a comprehensive overview of their global capabilities. This bird's-eye view provides new insights about your overall team makeup, allowing you to tap into opportunities or markets you may have overlooked. Perhaps your firm didn't fully grasp the depth of sustainability experience across your employee base. Armed with this knowledge, you can reposition and pitch your company's services for environmentally-focused projects with more authority.
These new perspectives are made possible through skill reports. Reports enable admins to quickly analyze their firm’s global capabilities by consolidating skills categories, experience levels, courses taken, languages, and more. By zooming out of your local office and seeing your firm as an interconnected workforce, you open your company up to a range of new opportunities.
Source global talent in seconds
As you already know, Flowcase doesn't just help you understand your overarching expertise; it also allows you to action it by sourcing best-fit talent for specific bids. Rather than limiting yourself to local employees, with your wider workforce on Flowcase you can cast a much wider net. Using Flowcase's search capabilities, you can find candidates with any required skill, certification, past project experience, or other criteria without being constrained by geographic silos. This enables you to maximize the utilization of your subject matter experts, whose skills may have otherwise been hidden by siloed systems.
Remove language barriers
Equipped with our AI Translations feature, your firm can bypass the language barriers that may have previously hindered you from utilizing global talent. Leveraging large language models, our AI instantly translates resume content into virtually any language. This allows bid teams to effortlessly tailor and package resume content from any international employee. Moreover, because metadata fields such as roles, skills, and certifications are also translated, users can search using criteria in their native language and still find all relevant matches across your multinational workforce.
Share case studies with ease
Flowcase centralizes more than just resumes; it also houses your firm's full catalog of past project case studies. With global teams on the same platform, you can disseminate this proven experience more fluidly between regions. Not only does this enable you to use these case studies in your own proposals, but it also facilitates easier knowledge sharing. For example, if your local team is pursuing an opportunity with a major client (e.g., Apple), they can quickly discover that colleagues in another office have already worked with the same client. With this insight, you can ask your international colleagues for insights on what Apple may be looking for in the proposal or even leverage the connection to network with key decision-makers before submitting the bid.
AI talent matching: Coming in future updates
Building on our existing AI translation and search capabilities, we’ll be launching an AI talent matching feature that automatically surfaces the employees most suited to fulfill specific project roles. These tailored staffing recommendations will propose best-fit employee mixes that encompass the precise skills and expertise required. With your global workforce hosted on Flowcase, the AI will be able to calculate more possibilities to find the employee or employees with the exact skills that could take your proposal to the next level. Identifying your perfect project team will go from a multi-day manual effort to an AI-powered suggestion in seconds.
