LET’S DIVE IN

​What is an MSP?

A Managed Service Provider handles every element of your contingent hiring process.

Managed Service Programmes were traditionally implemented to manage and increase the visibility of contingent workers. However, to succeed in today’s ever-changing world of work, managed services must move beyond the transactional. 

Modern solutions must be agile, able to support organisations through all, or just part of the worker lifecycle, optimising and leveraging workforces through advanced analytics to inform workforce planning and using new technologies to empower strategic business decisions.

As well as finding the right people for every type of role, from specialist technical staff to office support, an effective managed service takes a bird’s eye view of your talent, enabling organisations to keep spend consistent, track trends within your workforce, maintain governance and compliance, build diverse teams, and forecast and prepare for future issues and opportunities.

It’s a collaboration that fuses your ambitions, objectives and intelligence with the talent expertise and market knowledge of a leading recruitment provider.
