Your Managed Service Programme (MSP) questions, answered

What is a Managed Service Programme (MSP)? 

Managed Service Programme (MSP) involves a recruitment outsourcing business taking responsibility for the management of sourcing, engagement and administration of a contingent workforce, including contractors, temps and SoW.
 
An MSP can cover anything from general process management, reporting and advising on contingent workforce spend, supplier management, change, implementation and compliance checks.
 
Most MSP providers support the client with a Vendor Management System (VMS) which automates the processes of an MSP programme from request to invoicing. 

What are the benefits of an MSP, particularly in the Technology sector? 

An MSP has a host of great advantages. Of course, this includes quick access to contractors as part of your non-permanent workforce. But also cost savingsreduced time to hireimproved access to talentrisk control, increased compliance and insights to help you make more informed decisions.
 
This takes on new significance in the Technology world. Being able to evolve, scale and react quickly is key to achieving digital transformation objectives, and in a skills-short market, this can prove challenging.
 
An MSP can help you get access to the Technology talent you need – quickly and efficiently – and at scale. 

How much does an MSP with Hays cost? 

Most MSPs are charged as either a percentage of contingent workforce spend, or a price per hire fee. However, a fixed fee or even a performance-based pricing model, where savings are shared, can be agreed. 

What MSP models are most suited to the Technology industry? 

 
Typically considered the fast and effective model for recruiting Technology workers, the Master Vendor MSP uses only a single supplier for managing and completing your contingent hiring needs. A Neutral Vendor MSP will see your solutions provider use several agencies – giving you access to more specialist Technology skills – and the Hybrid MSP is a combination of both.
 
In their recent Global MSP landscape report Staffing Industry Analysts also noted Contingent RPO or Direct Sourcing – which cuts out the use of agencies – as an emerging model in its own right.

How many temporary or contract workers do I need to be using to justify using a Technology MSP? 

An MSP can cover anything from 100 to 10,000 workers. Importantly with an MSP, you’ll have constant access to the Technology contractors that you need to make your projects a success.
 
If taking on Technology contractors at scale, an MSP who understands the specific needs of the Technology industry is critical. 

How much will I save using an MSP for Technology roles? 

Typical savings achievements in year one of a new MSP are between 15-20% of a current non-permanent spend. This is achieved via the use of cost controls such as benchmarked rate cards across all roles, margin management across all suppliers and optimised sourcing for all vacancies resulting in lower submitted bill rates.
 
This is very beneficial particularly for the hiring of a Technology-savvy contingent workforce, as high demand for Technology staff can put a strain on conventional recruitment budgets.
