Master Vendor Solutions

Utilise the expertise of multiple recruitment agencies through a single managed service.

The Challenge

Most organisations use a significant number of temporary and contract staff to benefit from the increased flexibility and productivity this often brings, or simply for hard to fill roles. However, the very disparate nature of the UK’s recruitment industry means that larger organisations tend to deal with large numbers of agencies, with a number of resultant problems:

  • Inconsistency in compliance and terms of business – causing unacceptable risk
  • Lack of control over hiring – risking overspend against budget
  • No consolidation of invoicing – causing excessive processing cost
  • Lack of management information – causing risk around committed spend

Organisations often seek to manage this spend centrally through PSLs, a process that can be frustrating, time-consuming and ultimately ineffective as it does not solve all of the problems listed above and is usually degraded by determined agencies.

The Master Vendor Solution

In place of the PSL model many organisations are now seeing the benefits of harmonising their staffing requirements with a single recruitment company managing the entire process. In general this would include supplier management, advertising, payroll, reporting, and invoicing responsibilities.

The organisational advantages are clear – a single point of contact, but the same broad access to high quality candidates in under-supplied employment markets. Greater consistency can be achieved for both temporary and permanent staff in terms of rates, selection criteria, contractor support and management.

  • Single point of contact for all agency recruitment
