Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in recruitment offer a strategic advantage by streamlining the recruitment process, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency. They provide access to a wider talent pool through expert sourcing and screening, ensuring high-quality candidates and compliance with employment regulations. 

Under a comprehensive programme, an organisation onboarding an MSP solution can benefit from the following:

  • Cost savings

    With an MSP, you can streamline the entire hiring process, reducing time to fill vacancies, and minimising the administrative burden on your HR team. An MSP provider can negotiate better rates with staffing agencies and advertising partners, improve workforce planning, and reduce turnover costs. Additionally, their data-driven approach helps identify inefficiencies and optimises your recruitment strategy, ultimately lowering overall hiring expenses and ensuring you get the best talent at the best value.

  • Better reporting

    Get transparency on crucial metrics, such as spending levels, time to fill positions, quality of placements and more. This insight enables informed decision-making about your future workforce.

  • Streamlined processes and efficiencies

    Ensuring all candidates adhere to policy and processes such as negotiating terms, standardising rate cards and processing payments, can be a logistical nightmare. 

    Having an on-site presence means your MSP experts become fully embedded in your business’ culture, making it even easier for us to take this administrative burden from you and manage the full end-to-end processes of your temporary and contractor workforce management.

    • foster innovation 

  • Reduce risk with thorough compliance

    The increased presence of flexible talent means increased exposure to IR35 risks and legal challenges. An MSP provides rigorous compliance controls with complete visibility and audit trail across every candidate ensures workers are compliant. 

  • Access to top talent

    An MSP gives you access to a huge database of registered candidates open to work, even in skills-short industries. An MSP allows access to technology and partnerships to fill your vacancies efficiently, with the best talent, taking the hard work out of doing it on your own.  

  • MI and predictive talent analytics
