What Is a Managed Services Provider (MSP)?

A managed services provider (MSP) is a third-party firm that manages an organization’s recruitment processes, typically on a contractual basis. These companies provide end-to-end workforce management solutions and oversee sourcing, screening, and placing candidates, managing vendor relationships, and ensuring compliance with recruitment policies.

Outsourcing these functions to an MSP allows organizations to streamline their hiring process, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Managed services providers leverage technology and data-driven insights to enhance recruitment strategies, providing organizations access to top-tier talent while relieving the administrative burden of in-house hiring efforts.

Why Choose a Managed Services Provider?

There are more than 50 million contingent employees in the US, accounting for 35% of the workforce. Employers neglecting to tap into this vast talent pool could miss immense opportunities to overcome staffing shortages and boost bottom lines. However, compliance and cost concerns keep many organizations from taking the plunge.

Collaborating with a managed services provider, like Hire Velocity, can immediately alleviate these apprehensions and help employers quickly obtain the needed expertise.

Some of the top benefits of partnering with an MSP are:

Hire Velocity’s solutions can help control expenses related to job advertising, recruitment technology, and agency fees. Our MSP specialists also use time-tested recruitment strategies that expedite time-to-hire, which translates into cost savings.

Understanding Our Vendor Management System (VMS)

Hire Velocity partners with a VMS technology provider to offer clients a vendor management system that helps them better oversee their contingent workforce. This cloud-based software system enables employers to identify, manage, and share information about their contract employees from a centralized platform.

Vendor management systems support the entire lifecycle of a contingent employee. Effortlessly find talent that aligns with your needs, negotiate contracts, generate invoices, track spending, generate reports, and onboard and offboard contingent workers from one intuitive system.

Among the many benefits of using a VMS include:

  • A holistic overview of your contingent talent program
  • Greater spending visibility and control
  • Ensures complete compliance
  • Reduces operational costs
  • Valuable insights via reporting and analytics

MSP vs. VMS: What’s the Difference?

A managed services provider (MSP) and vendor management system (VMS) are both effective methods for finding and managing independent workers. However, they are not one and the same.

A managed services provider is a third-party firm that oversees a company’s recruitment processes, handling tasks like candidate sourcing and vetting. A vendor management system is software that helps organizations manage the lifecycle of their contingent workforce, including sourcing, onboarding, and invoicing.

Merging these solutions delivers significant value to employers. Using a managed services provider and VMS in tandem allows organizations to:

=

Combine technology and expertise for optimal hiring results and insights

=
Improve cost savings and candidate quality
=
Streamline contingent supply chains and staffing operations
