WHAT IS A MANAGED STAFFING PROGRAM (MSP)?

It’s an efficient process to manage a large contingent workforce. When an organization engages a large number of temporary employees, they may be unprepared for the burdensome and complex task of managing them.

Often, companies have neither the technology nor the bandwidth to train, manage and assess these workers.

An MSP provides overall program management, reporting and tracking, supplier selection and management, order distribution and consolidated billing, allowing you to focus on your other priorities.

What can a technical MSP provider do for you?

Reduce Costs

MSPs streamline hiring processes and take on the administrative burden of talent acquisition and management. They also negotiate with sub vendors to get you a fair price. The MSP can manage your vendor base, acting as the liaison between you and your vendors at no cost to you.

Increase Visibility

You see it all – the MSP’s Vendor Management System (VMS) gives you easy, ongoing access to data that allows you to track spending, performance metrics, create reports and more. The VMS allows both the client and the MSP program manager to evaluate the performance of the sub vendors.

Ensure Compliance

MSPs shoulder the responsibility of maintaining compliance. They use their expertise to mitigate the risks of hiring contingent labor. They can ensure that government requirements are met by all subvendors, including insurance regulations, Form I-9/E-Verify, drug screening, and background checks. They direct vendor productivity including finding new vendors and verifying certificates of insurance when needed.

Where PEAK fits in

PEAK maintains a cadre of vendors to supply all disciplines throughout the United States. MSPs that partner with specialized staffing firms are able to fill positions with very specific requirements much quicker, with better-fit talent. We manage the process.

Your partner in success

The most successful MSP programs are those that partner with staffing agencies that understand the process, have experience with the system and understand the nuances in the MSP relationship. That’s where PEAK comes in – we have built a unique engineering managed service program process to alleviate the recruiting pain points that arise when recruiting talent, and it’scustom designed for your needs.

Consider this option if:

  • You have multiple vendors engaged in the recruiting and employment of temporary staff.
  • You want to approve and track spending in an organized fashion.
  • You need standardized contracts and compliance monitoring at a low administrative overhead for you.
  • You want to ensure vendor performance.
  • Reliability and timeliness of recruiting are paramount to satisfying your business growth and/or customer needs.
  • Integration into your existing systems would reduce hiring manager and human resources administrative burdens.
  • Your annual staffing spend volume exceeds 4 million (an MSP is also an appropriate solution for staffing spend levels of 100 million or more).

More custom options:

  • PEAK also has the expertise to manage SOW – spend that is currently going to project management companies – to make sure you are using the most efficient model for all of your project needs.
  • PEAK will manage other relationships, too; for example, if we recognize the need for an on-site recruiting resource, we will find a partner that can fill the need.
  • If your current MSP provider isn’t having success on your technical requirements, PEAK can work closely with your current vendor and “carve out” an MSP for technical requirements only.
  • For smaller programs, we can pair a staffing relationship with services typical of an MSP, such as partnering with another vendor to fill needs outside of PEAK’s areas of expertise.
