Our contingent workers play a critical role in enabling Epiq’s success while staying agile and pursuing growth.”

Introducing direct sourcing to Epiq’s contingent workforce program is among Kammeyer’s proudest recent achievements, along with leading the transition from an external managed service provider (MSP) to an internally managed program. When it comes to the future, Kammeyer plans to focus on improving the program’s operational efficiency, identifying the best ways to use AI and leveraging Epiq’s employer brand to create the best candidate experience possible.

Epiq currently has 2,700 contingent workers matched with a wide range of contract assignments based on skills, experience, and availability.
