Are you looking to strategically manage your non-employee workforce?
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) simplifies your staffing needs by acting as a trusted partner to manage your contingent workforce (non-permanent employees).
From sourcing talent to ensuring compliance, an MSP takes care of it all - saving you time, reducing costs, and ensuring access to top talent which is crucial in a tight labour market.
Here are some situations when an MSP can guide your business through the challenges of securing essential non-employee talent:

An international engineering firm partnered with us to tackle their challenges in managing their contingent workforce. Faced with overloaded talent acquisition teams, inefficient supplier management, lengthy hiring times, and limited visibility into workforce metrics, they needed a tailored solution.
Our MSP services stepped in to streamline processes, revise fee structures, rationalise suppliers, and enhance performance management. This partnership delivered improved workforce visibility, a streamlined supplier list, faster hiring times, optimised operations, and reduced costs.
MSP (Managed Service Provider) focuses on providing contingent workforce solutions. It oversees vendor management, compliance, and optimisation of temporary staffing programs.
RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing), on the other hand, manages permanent hiring processes. It acts as an extension of your HR team to source, recruit, and onboard full-time employees.
Contingent workers are non-permanent employees such as freelancers, contractors, and temporary staff. They are hired for specific projects, seasonal demands, or specialised tasks and are not on the company’s payroll but often engaged through a staffing agency or MSP.
Although we’re seeing an evolution in MSP funding models, there are two prevalent models across the broad contingent workforce space:
Airswift Resourcing's MSP can save you an average of 6% annually, with up to 8%-10% in year one. These savings go beyond reducing internal headcount costs or reducing rates and focus on sustainable cost optimisation.
MSPs are renowned for driving cost savings in contingent workforce spend through staffing optimisation, supplier management, and lifecycle efficiencies.
Modern MSPs add intangible value by offering flexible talent acquisition models, higher-quality candidates, alignment between business goals and talent needs, and improved diversity efforts that foster innovation and product development.
If your organisation has 50 or more contingent workers or is spending a significant amount annually on temporary staffing, it’s time to consider an MSP. MSPs bring value when there is a need for better compliance, cost control, or streamlining of the contingent workforce program.
Your existing temporary workforce will remain on assignment. An MSP will evaluate the supplier and worker base and assess aspects such as compliance, rates and classification while creating an enhanced experience for workers, hiring managers and suppliers to effectively augment your total workforce.
A Vendor Management System (VMS) is a software platform that simplifies the management of your contingent workforce program.
It provides visibility into your external workforce, automates and tracks the sourcing process and provides data and reporting for reliable decision making.
A VMS allows for a technology-based user experience and benefits that tracking your workforce on a spreadsheet cannot provide.
If you don’t have a VMS and want to move away from manually tracking contingent workers, we will advise you on the best solution that can integrate with your systems and help optimise your processes.
We will help you tackle this step by working with your business stakeholders and understanding your current processes to gain the necessary insight into your workers, suppliers and spending.
