In many organisations, external hiring is a natural part of the workforce. Independent contractors and seconded staff flexibly fill temporary capacity needs. But how well is this hiring actually organised?
What you mostly see: the practice is fragmented. Different departments work with their own suppliers, contract agreements are laid down locally and the overview gets lost. The consequences? Unnecessary risks, higher costs and a lot of time spent on administration. Fragmentation doesn't have to be a problem until it starts hampering you. That's when you suddenly see signs emerging that point to a lack of grip and structure.
Consider:
- No central overview of current contracts
- Hiring rules and rates vary by department
- Purchasing and HR mainly spend time on coordination and alignment
- Compliance checks are arranged ad hoc
- Suppliers work with their own conditions and margins
Recognised, then it's for a structural approach
Fragmentation is often the result of growth, speed or capacity challenges. But unfortunately, it is not a sustainable solution. As an organisation, you want a grip on external hiring: knowing who is working, under what conditions and that everything is legally correct.
Intermediary Management is the solution that creates order in a fragmented hiring process. No new tool or complicated system, but a practical and proven approach in which a specialised partner thinks along with you and implements the process. You stay at the helm, the intermediary takes care of the daily execution, reliably, compliant and efficiently.
What does an MSP give you?
An MSP not only gives you structure and overview, but also professional control over your entire hiring process. You work more efficiently, reduce risks and keep a grip on quality, lead times and costs. The result? External hiring that is truly strategic, compliant and manageable.
Specifically, an MSP provides you with:
- Full insight into hiring volumes, supplier performance and costs
- Continuity and compliance with current legislation and regulations
- Cost benefits through scalable procurement and standardisation
- Lower risks thanks to central contract and supplier management
- Professionalisation of your hiring process as an extension of HR and procurement
