Human Resources
Spanish term or phrase: utilización (HERE)
Funciones de una persona dentro de una empresa:

Controlar el porcentaje de utilización de profesionales externos..

Mi trad: Control of the percentage of outside professionals being hired.

Porque no me parece que se pueda usar being "used" para las personas. Quisiera leer otras sugerencias, ya que hired me parece muy específico y el texto no menciona la contratación.

Gracias.

used


Explanation:
There's nothing wrong with the use of 'use' here - especially as it's probably referring to man-hours (or man-days, etc.), not individual persons, contracts, etc.

Controlar el porcentaje de utilización de profesionales externos
-->
Control the percentage use of external professional manpower.
