Six benefits of MSP partnerships

Content Team

Managed Services Program (MSP) partnerships are custom solutions wherein a company outsources the management of their contingent workforce. Managed Services Program partnerships drive cost savings, process efficiencies and improved quality of hire in contractor management. On average, MSP partnerships can deliver 10-20 percent cost savings in the first year. However the benefits of MSP stretch far beyond cost savings.

1. Transparency and control

Losing oversight and control of a contingent workforce is the most common challenge experienced by our clients. Gaining back control and creating a transparent and consistent extended workforce framework is also the most important benefit of an MSP partnership. Through a systematic, strategic, and tailored approach, your MSP partner will streamline the end-to-end process to ensure a reliable ‘one-source-of-truth’ is the foundation of your contingent workforce.  

2. Cost savings

Partnering with an MSP can bring significant cost reductions to your contingent workforce management. We delivered 380k AUD in cost savings for our client in six months. Depending on the model, you either centralize your workforce management with one vendor or let the MSP handle vendor contracts. Additionally, managed services program providers can reduce time-to-fill and minimize productivity gaps.

The benefit of an MSP partner stretches far beyond cost savings. Improved processes, unparalleled scalability and partnership, and the peace of mind that comes from entrusting operations to expert hands is transformative. ”

- Nicki McCulloch, Regional Director of Client Solutions APAC

3. Reduced risks

Compliance is a critical aspect of flexible talent management. An MSP model means your partner will take on the risk and compliance management of your contingent workforce. A high-quality MSP partner will be well-versed in regulatory requirements and can ensure that all aspects of your contingent workforce remain compliant. They’ll also provide guidance and implement processes to mitigate risks in your hiring process, tenure management, and policy adherence, regardless of location. 

4. Increased efficiencies

Utilizing automation and advanced recruitment technology platforms, your MSP partner also streamlines candidate sourcing, onboarding, time and attendance management, and invoicing. This ultimately creates an efficient ecosystem for your contingent recruitment and employment workflows, giving your team back precious time to focus on more strategic tasks. 

5. Contractor and hiring manager experience

An MSP provides access to a team of talent experts with in-depth knowledge of your industry and unique requirements. As part of your custom solution, they will streamline your end-to-end contingent workforce processes and source top-quality candidates through expert talent strategies. With expertly crafted processes and strategies, you’ll soon recognize elevated experiences for both contractors and hiring managers.   

6. Scalability and flexibility 

An MSP provides the agility and flexibility your organization needs. It adjusts resources as needed, whether for rapid growth requiring hiring or scaling back during slower periods, ensuring you have the appropriate talent when it’s needed most. 

Is MSP right for you?

Managed Services Programs offer numerous benefits. From driving process efficiencies to risk mitigation, MSPs play a key role in contingent workforce management. Leaving your flexible talent management in the hands of trusted experts allows you to remain focused on your core business.

The 5Cs of successful MSP implementations

Content Team

Are you looking to implement a Managed Services Program (MSP) model within your organization?

MSPs can transform flexible talent management, but only if they are implemented correctly. Organizations managing a contingent workforce know it can be fraught with complexity. Yet, managing your talent flexibly can be a real competitive advantage. This is why organizations turn to Managed Services Program (MSP) providers to help them manage their contingent workforce efficiently.

As MSP experts, we know what works to ensure a successful implementation. Our 5C’s will prepare your organization for success. Read on to find out more about each of these key factors.

1: Clear case for change

The first step in a successful implementation is ensuring that the business case is clearly defined, understood, and shared with all partners and stakeholders. Aligning goals from the outset gets everyone on the same page and heading in the same direction.

2: Collaboration

Our second success factor, collaboration, is vital. It extends from the project management governance to the implementation team. From our experience, we know shared values and a shared team spirit underpin a successful implementation.

3: Client understanding

Part of building the business case and the foundation for collaboration is positioning the MSP model internally. All stakeholders need to understand the why, what, and how:

Why? Why are we making this change to the business?
What? What are the benefits that will be realized because of the change?
How? How will it be done, making the change process and transition easier?

After all, an MSP program is not a copy-paste process; it is a change in the way people work.

4: Communication

Constant communication throughout the implementation is an essential factor for success. Especially considering the complexity of an MSP. When working on a complex implementation at the height of the covid pandemic with our client and technology partner, Beeline, this became even more apparent. The consistency and clarity of our communication ensured we shared a vision from beginning to end.

5: Caliber of the team

Recruitment is about people, so the final C should be no surprise. Having the right people with skills and cultural alignment is essential for a successful implementation. Embedded in your existing teams, they will ensure the program is fully adopted, successfully and seamlessly.

How to select an MSP partner

How to select an MSP partner

Content Team

Partnering with a Managed Services Program (MSP) provider can streamline contingent workforce management and drive significant benefits. However, with many MSP providers in the market, selecting the right one can be a crucial decision. In this blog, we will explore key considerations to help you choose the right MSP provider for your organization.

1. Consider different MSP models by what level of involvement you need

Managed Services Program solutions exist in different ways and selecting the right model for your talent needs is an essential first step. The three primary models to consider are the Direct Sourcing MSP Model, Master Vendor Model and Vendor Neutral Model.  

In the Direct Sourcing MSP model, one provider manages the contingent workforce management and directly sources a percentage of the workers. The Master Vendor Model involves one provider who is responsible for sourcing and placing candidates. The provider is also responsible for the contract management and payrolling of the contingent workers, including invoicing.  In the Vendor Neutral Model, one provider manages the contingent workforce but via third-party agency suppliers who continue to payroll their own contractors. 

2. Can the provider customize their solution to suit your requirements?

Each organization has unique requirements and preferences. It is crucial to assess how well an MSP provider can customize their solution to align with your specific needs. An end-to-end solution is the standard offering but consider whether the provider offers additional options to customize. This could include automation of administratively heavy tasks, expert insights into process optimization, engagement surveys, and identifying bottlenecks to enhance efficiency.

3. Is the MSP provider suited to your size and geography?

Consider the size of your contingent workforce and the geographical span of your operations. An MSP provider should have experience in managing workforce solutions of similar size and complexity. Make sure the provider can follow labor laws and reduce risks, whether you have a local or global presence. Additionally, a scalable MSP solution is crucial to accommodate fluctuations in the market or changes in talent needs.

4. Do the technology and innovation capabilities match?

Evaluate the technology infrastructure and innovation capabilities of the MSP provider. A robust technology platform can streamline processes, enhance visibility, and deliver data-driven insights. Look for features like real-time reporting, analytics, and integration with other HR systems. Additionally, consider whether the provider is proactive in adopting emerging technologies and industry best practices to stay ahead of the curve.

5. Does the provider have the relevant expertise in your industry?

Assess the expertise and industry knowledge of the MSP provider. Think about their industry experience, talent networks, and understanding of your specific needs. Look for providers that offer dedicated support and a collaborative partnership approach. Effective communication, responsiveness, and a shared commitment to your company’s success are key factors to consider.

Choosing the right MSP provider requires careful evaluation of several factors. Choose the right MSP provider to optimize your contingent workforce. Find out about MSP or contact our talent experts to determine the best talent solution for you.
