<p>Onboarding is a critical step in the employee lifecycle and research shows that the quality of onboarding has a major impact on the overall job satisfaction and retention of employees. According to survey research, organisations considered in the top 20% in terms of onboarding had 91% first-year retention and 62% of new hires reaching their first-year goals compared with the bottom 30% of organisations which reported 30% and 17% goal completion for the same timeframe.</p>
<p>In a world where we are increasingly having to utilise the virtual options available to us, how can businesses integrate a successful onboarding programme into the virtual world?</p>
<p><strong>Office-based&nbsp; - remote onboarding</strong></p>
<p>In an office environment, the challenges are infinitely less daunting than for laboratory or manufacturing environments. As with all effective onboarding programmes the focus should be on making new hires feel welcome and excited about the business in the right time frame and containing the right information to get them up and running as fast as possible. Making the switch to a virtual platform will require tweaking of usual practices and maybe even timeframes, and a good first step is to really think about what is covered in your existing set up and what purpose it serves. Once you know that the steps and processes are necessary, here are some ideas about how to translate them into the virtual world.</p>
<p><strong>Length of onboarding programme</strong></p>
<p>Spread your onboarding programme over a few days/weeks. This ensures that flexibility can be built into peoples&rsquo; day. It can also be overwhelming to assimilate all the information quickly in a fully remote setting.</p>
<p><strong>Meeting the team</strong></p>
<p>Typical onsite onboarding is peppered with face to face meetings and casual greetings from team members. Think about starting your onboarding process with a live session that covers company culture, values, products and services and ending it with a live session like a Q &amp; A on anything they want to ask about the company, who&rsquo;s who, where to find what etc. Pepper the week with either pre-recorded videos making them feel welcome or quick catch up video call sessions. &nbsp;Consider introducing a buddy system, whereby new starters have a go-to person to ask anything and this ensures they have that immediate friendly face when joining, even if over video or phone. Why lead with company culture? A LinkedIn survey of over 3000 professionals found that 70% of them would leave a company if it had a bad culture and 71% said they would take a pay cut for a company that shares their values and has a mission they believe in. It pays to place an emphasis on your company culture and why it is important to the business.</p>
<p><strong>Get practical</strong></p>
<p>A couple of the most challenging areas for people to get used to when starting a new role, are the systems and filing of a new company. Setting scavenger hunt type activities are an interactive way to get people used to navigating systems and finding the documents they need to get their role done.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Communicate</strong>&nbsp;<strong>and then communicate some more!</strong></p>
<p>People feel vulnerable in new situations and anxiety levels can be high. Questions around whether they will make personal connections with the team, &nbsp;whether their knowledge will add</p>
<p>value and how quickly they can impress may arise in the individual. To overcome these fears, communication should cover not only the practical but also the social elements of starting a new job. Think about running an online quiz with after-work drinks for example to ensure the social elements are also covered.</p>
<p><strong>Tech</strong></p>
<p>The technical side of virtual onboarding can often be the most challenging. Usually, laptops and any other kit pertaining to the role is handed over on the first day and any configuration can then be set up to ensure a smooth transition into the role. When people are based remotely the tech needs to be sent directly to the team member and this requires extensive and slick comms with the IT team so that software can be configured correctly and in a timely manner for that individual. To ensure the smooth running of this, it could be an idea to set up an online meeting with tech support that lasts the entirety of the download, set up and configuration as often the download stage can lead to further problems and without the onhand support this can cause frustration and delay.</p>
<p><strong>Make it engaging</strong></p>
<p>Interactive elements help to make virtual onboarding more effective. Technology such as Zoom allows you to create break out rooms/groups. This then enables you to create discussion environments around the main speaker session.</p>
<p><strong>Other environments</strong></p>
<p>During times where physical contact needs to be limited (during a global pandemic for example!) onboarding can be a more challenging experience for roles that require a person to be onsite. How do you effectively recruit and onboard where the usual processes are not possible? For some elements of the role: documentation that needs submitting, health and safety policies, company culture, intro to other parts of the business, systems and tech as well as training, the above advice would also apply.</p>
<p>With the use of video technology, the recruitment process has been fully assimilated into the virtual world. Hinterview, Skype and Zoom are some technologies SRG has been using to help clients continue to hire.</p>

<h2>The Situation: SRG&rsquo;s Early Careers partnership with a leading Global Biopharma Company&nbsp;</h2>
<p>SRG are proud to have worked in partnership with one of the world&rsquo;s leading Biopharma companies since early 2015, providing support for their UK Industrial Placement and end-to-end Early Careers programmes across all their UK sites, including nine manufacturing sites, a global R&amp;D site and the company&rsquo;s corporate headquarters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The company approached SRG to assist them in centralising the recruitment process for early careers talent. Historically it had been the HR team at each site coordinating the Early Talent programme independently and there was no shared process or way of working. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2021, the partnership was further developed to meet growing early careers requirements, with SRG providing a full RPO and Talent Partner service that fully embeds SRG&rsquo;s early careers experience and expertise within the client&rsquo;s own early talent team. &nbsp;</p>

<p>SRG&rsquo;s dedicated Early Careers team, understanding the requirements of the client, their company&rsquo;s values, and the way their people work, are embedded within the biopharma company&rsquo;s own Early Talent Team, supporting them through the entire early talent recruitment process &ndash; from identifying their talent gaps and how to fill them to on-boarding successful candidates. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In line with the client&rsquo;s requirements, and the goals of SRG&rsquo;s dedicated RPO and Talent Partner service, the responsibilities of our integrated Talent Partner and Early Careers Talent experts include:&nbsp;</p>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>The Results: Early Careers Solutions in Action at Global Biopharma Company&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Having worked with them in the early careers space since 2015, the SRG Early Talent team understands, and embodies the client&rsquo;s values themselves.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the way we have worked with this industry-leading company has evolved over the years, our team have drawn on our recruitment expertise in the wider scientific market to create innovative solutions to support different ways of working that benefit the overall programme. We are also equipped for agility, and can flex and scale with changing requirements, while creating a streamlined and positive journey for a high volume of applicants.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the Early Careers Strategy and RPO Service in place, SRG has taken the lead on the delivery and continued development of this client&rsquo;s Early Talent programme, heading up a project management structure &ndash; which included stakeholders from both companies &ndash; that focuses on efficiency, quality, and cost effectiveness &ndash; whilst still ensuring needs are met and a best-in-class solution is achieved. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The implementation of a dedicated SRG team has maximised engagement and buy-in from stakeholders; and led to the implementation of new supporting technologies and methods.&nbsp;</p>

<li>Over 12,000 applicants managed each year&nbsp;</li>
<li>Circa 300 candidates placed every year&nbsp;</li>
<li>Working across 4 business areas of the global biopharma company&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<h3>Testimonial</h3>
<p><em>&ldquo;We always see huge enthusiasm from the Early Talent team at SRG to support new partnerships and initiatives, such as the 10,000 Interns programmes. At short notice, the team stepped in to help us screen and match candidates with opportunities provided by the business, allowing us to place over forty people into internships this summer.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>The insight provided by the team also allows us to understand the diversity of our pipeline right through the process, without having to wait for an end of campaign review after the fact &ndash; this allows us to take action to address challenges upfront, rather than after the fact for the following year. &nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>It is the proactivity of the team that impresses me most &ndash; if we see low completion rates on an assessment, the team come prepared with a proposal to address it. We get the same commitment to getting it right as if the team were in-house. I also appreciate the focus put on customer experience; the team are always going the extra mile to make candidates&rsquo; and hiring managers&rsquo; journey as positive as they can be.&rdquo; </em></p>

How SRG Transformed Early Careers Recruitment for a Leading Global Biopharma Company   

<p>In today&rsquo;s competitive market, the right recruiting partner isn&rsquo;t a luxury &ndash; it&rsquo;s a necessity. When that partner brings a strong background in sales, the result is a more strategic, impactful approach to hiring that benefits your organization in the near- and long term.</p>
<p>Hiring managers in the life sciences industry face unique challenges. The industry&rsquo;s rapid growth and high demand for specialized talent mean that finding suitable candidates isn&rsquo;t just about a good technical fit &ndash; it&rsquo;s also about ensuring cultural alignment, adaptability, and a nuanced understanding of the talent landscape. That&rsquo;s where a seasoned recruiting firm with deep industry knowledge and a strong sales background can make a significant difference.</p>
<h2>How to Recognize the Intricate Hiring Needs of the Life Sciences Industry</h2>
<p>The life sciences industry spans pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, diagnostics, and medical devices. Each of these sectors has specific needs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Specialized Skill Sets: </strong>Roles require <span style="color: #ac1359;"><strong><a style="color: #ac1359;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/ai-transforming-life-sciences" target="_blank" rel="noopener">specific skills</a></strong>,</span> from lab expertise to knowledge of regulatory landscapes.</li>
<li><strong>Need for Rapid Adaptation:</strong> Emerging trends, technologies, and regulatory shifts demand a workforce ready to evolve.</li>
<li><strong>Sales-Informed Market Understanding:</strong> Deep market insights, including trends in candidate expectations, compensation benchmarks, and competitive hiring strategies.</li>
<li><strong>Positioning:</strong> Understanding the value of positioning a role in the most authentic and compelling manner, even when the market is challenging, can significantly affect candidate interest and engagement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Recruiting in the life sciences industry has evolved significantly beyond transactional approaches, moving toward more involved, relationship-driven models. Recruiting focuses on building enduring partnerships, navigating complex decision-making processes, demonstrating long-term value, and addressing unique regulatory and ethical considerations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This shift towards a more consultative approach aligns with the industry&rsquo;s commitment to improving project outcomes and advancing scientific knowledge. With this consultative approach comes an understanding that the workforce management requirement goes far beyond what a resume or job description can convey, and this deeper knowledge is crucial for hiring managers to get the talent they need for successful project delivery.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>New Consultative Approach to Life Science Recruitment&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Life sciences positions often involve sophisticated scientific knowledge, specialized skills, and a deep understanding of industry-specific processes. A resume or job description can only scratch the surface of these complexities.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Scientific expertise:</strong> A candidate's actual depth of knowledge in a particular scientific domain may not be fully captured in a resume. Recruiting teams need to assess what a candidate knows and how they apply that knowledge in practical situations.</li>
<li><strong>Interdisciplinary skills: </strong>Many life sciences roles require a blend of scientific expertise and other skills like project management, data analysis, or regulatory compliance. These nuanced skill combinations are often difficult to convey in a standard resume format.</li>
<li><strong>Industry-specific screening</strong>: General recruiting firms may miss red flags or fail to understand nuanced qualifications. Specialized firms conduct <span style="color: #ac1359;"><strong><a style="color: #ac1359;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/fraudulent-candidates---life-threatening-lies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">screenings tailored to life sciences</a></strong></span>, ensuring candidates meet technical and regulatory requirements.</li>
<li><strong>In-depth reference checks</strong>: Experienced recruiters perform thorough reference checks, often connecting with industry contacts to verify a candidate&rsquo;s skills, compliance knowledge, and adaptability.</li>
</ul>
<p>Cultural fit and soft skills are particularly important due to the collaborative nature of research and development.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Teamwork and collaboration:</strong> Life sciences often involve working in multidisciplinary teams. A candidate's ability to collaborate effectively is crucial but may not be evident from a resume alone.</li>
<li><strong>Communication skills</strong>: Communicating complex scientific concepts to various stakeholders is vital in life sciences. This skill is best assessed through direct interaction rather than a written description.</li>
</ul>
<p>The life sciences sector faces unique challenges that require specific traits and experiences.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Regulatory understanding: </strong>A deep grasp of regulatory requirements is often crucial. This understanding goes beyond what can be listed as a skill on a resume and involves the practical application of knowledge.</li>
<li><strong>Ethical considerations:</strong> Given the sensitive nature of life sciences work, a candidate's ethical stance and decision-making processes are critical. These aspects are rarely captured in formal documents.</li>
<li><strong>Problem-solving abilities:</strong> A candidate's approach to solving complex scientific problems is a key factor that a resume can't fully convey.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hiring managers in life sciences often look for candidates with long-term potential, considering the investment in training and development. A seasoned recruiting partner ensures that this is covered in the screening.&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Career aspirations: </strong>Understanding a candidate's career goals and how they align with the organization's objectives is crucial for long-term retention and success.</li>
<li><strong>Learning agility: </strong>The capacity to quickly acquire new skills and knowledge is vital in the fast-paced life sciences sector. This trait is difficult to assess from a resume alone.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Experience is Value in Life Sciences&nbsp;</h2>
<p>For hiring managers in life sciences, having the expertise of a sales and delivery team that understands the full extent of consultative recruiting is crucial for several reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Targeted candidate pools:</strong> Years of industry experience allow for a highly targeted network of professionals, ensuring a higher quality candidate match.</li>
<li><strong>Quick turnaround:</strong> Experienced recruiters can fill roles faster, thanks to their network and targeted approach, reducing downtime for critical projects.</li>
<li><strong>Right fit, first time: </strong>Specialized recruiting firms with a robust sales foundation know how to find qualified candidates and the right cultural fit, leading to greater retention.</li>
<li><strong>Cost savings:</strong> Every day that a position remains vacant represents lost productivity and potential revenue. A fast placement by an experienced recruiter drives down costs.</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced employee engagement and retention:</strong> By focusing on candidates who resonate with the company&rsquo;s mission, values, and work culture, experienced recruitment teams improve employee engagement and long-term retention.</li>
<li><strong>Enhancing team dynamics:</strong> Understanding a candidate's working style and interpersonal skills helps build cohesive and productive research teams.</li>
<li><strong>Driving innovation:</strong> Identifying candidates with the right blend of scientific expertise, creativity, and problem-solving skills is key to driving innovation in life sciences.</li>
<li><strong>Ensuring compliance and quality:</strong> In an industry heavily regulated and focused on precision, hiring managers need to be confident in a candidate's ability to maintain high quality and compliance standards.</li>
<li><strong>Facilitating knowledge transfer:</strong> Understanding a candidate's ability to learn and share knowledge is crucial in an industry where continuous learning and collaboration are essential.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Future Outlook: Trends to Watch in Life Science Recruitment</h2>
<p>As the industry continues to evolve, we can expect strategies in life sciences to become even more sophisticated, <span style="color: #ac1359;"><strong><a style="color: #ac1359;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/global-life-sciences-clinical-engineering-insights-2024-survey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leveraging data-driven insights</a></strong></span> and personalized engagement to create lasting value for all stakeholders involved.</p>
<p>In conclusion, partnering with an experienced recruiting firm like SRG Talent that offers exclusive life sciences expertise and a foundation in sales can make a significant difference. Bringing specialized knowledge, sales-driven engagement tactics and industry insights helps hiring managers fill positions and build high-performing teams that drive innovation and growth.</p>

Navigating the Complex Landscape of Life Sciences Recruitment: Why Partnering with a Sales-Focused Recruiting Firm is Essential

<p>The recruitment industry has come a long way from the days of paper CVs and fax machines, as it continues to accelerate alongside expanding businesses in an increasingly global, and interconnected world.</p>
<p>Today,&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/gx-the-great-reimagination-report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nearly three quarters of CEOs&nbsp;</a></strong>say that labour, and skills shortages pose the greatest disruption to business strategy over the next 12 months. The &lsquo;Great Resignation&rsquo; of 2021 saw<strong><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-24/almost-one-fifth-of-workers-set-to-leave-their-jobs-in-next-12-months" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;47.4 employees in the U.S alone&nbsp;</a></strong>leave their organisations for new roles, while in the U.K 85% of senior leaders reported significant business disruption.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the STEM sector specifically,<strong><a href="../../../../../../insights/guides-and-reports/2022-global-science-employment-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;our global survey</a></strong>&nbsp;reveals that the after-effects of the great resignation continue to echo, as 35% of UK and US STEM employees, and 39% of Europe STEM employees say they plan to leave their organisations this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this article, I reflect back on the history and evolution of the recruitment market and look ahead to the priorities leaders should consider to futureproof their talent pipelines.<br><br>Read on to explore:</p>
<ul>
<li>Key drivers of change in the history of recruitment</li>
<li>How the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed tech in recruitment</li>
<li>What is next for the recruitment industry</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Key drivers of change in the history of recruitment</h2>
<h3>From recruiters working for candidates, to recruiters working for clients</h3>
<p>The late 1970s saw a shift away from recruiters working directly for, and receiving payments from candidates, to working and receiving payments from the client.&nbsp;</p>
<p>From being approached by recruitment agencies to harnessing them for selective requirements, organisations were able to expand their workforces at pace and fuel economic growth.&nbsp;<br>Recruitment organisations now had to approach candidates directly, and &lsquo;sell&rsquo; their client&rsquo;s roles. At this time, this was largely achieved by salary rate, as well as the company&rsquo;s general reputation. Roles were mainly advertised in newspapers, and recruitment consultants relied on telephone consultations and in-person interviews to filter candidates.&nbsp;<br><br></p>
<h3>The history of online recruitment</h3>
<p>While the internet was initially invented in 1983, it wasn&rsquo;t until 1995 that it became well established in wider society, and business. Netscape Navigator, the most popular internet browser at the time, marked a&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/short-history-internet#:~:text=Consequently%2C%20the%20number%20of%20websites,around%2010%20million%20global%20users." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10 million global user base in 1995</a></strong>, making it a rich source for an accessible network of talent.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The late 1990s consequently saw the first online jobs being posted, marking the beginnings of e-recruitment, which has since become essential to modern-day recruitment<br><br></p>
<h3>Evolution of diversity and inclusion</h3>
<p>When considering the history of the UK, the essential role diverse groups have played over the course of the UK industrial history is irrefutable.</p>
<p>While the world wars notoriously accelerated the number of women in industry, factory, pastoral and agricultural work has always had a core reliance on female labour, and international trade and businesses have long been inherent to the British economy.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It wasn&rsquo;t until 1975 however that the sex discrimination act was passed, while ethnic groups had to wait another year; until 1976, before the race relations act was passed &ndash; both acts protected the groups from unfair treatment in the workplace.</p>
<p>Despite these advances, it wasn&rsquo;t until 1995 that the disability discrimination act was passed, and it was only recently, in 2010, that the equality act was passed, making it officially illegal to discriminate against employees in the workplace based on their:</p>
<ul>
<li>Age</li>
<li>Disability</li>
<li>Gender reassignment</li>
<li>Marriage and civil partnership</li>
<li>Pregnancy and maternity</li>
<li>Race</li>
<li>Religion or belief</li>
<li>Sex/Gender</li>
<li>Sexual orientation.<br><br></li>
</ul>
<h3>The rise of employee value propositions</h3>
<p>Employee value propositions or EVPs have been steadily growing in importance alongside expanding skills gaps.</p>
<p>Whereas in the past organisations could rely on the reputation of their brand name, or for newer companies, advertise confidential opportunities, rising competition in the talent market has increased&nbsp;<strong><a href="../../../../../../blog/how-to-develop-a-successful-employer-branding-strategy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the importance of a strong EVP</a></strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a business climate where companies are now investing in their own people, and actively discussing payrises, career development and actualising their culture, people aren&rsquo;t always as open to leaving their current positions as they once were, clients face a growing need to focus on EVP to attract passive candidates.</p>
<p>According to our&nbsp;<strong><a href="../../../../../../insights/guides-and-reports/2022-global-science-employment-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2022 Global Science Employment Report</a></strong>, just under a third of STEM employees prioritise roles that offer a good work-life balance, while over half of respondents would also find employees appealing if they offered an attractive salary and benefits alongside stimulating and challenging work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Key elements of a strong EVP include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Work-life balance</li>
<li>Representative and actionable DE&amp;I strategies</li>
<li>Fair pay structures and reviews</li>
<li>Career development paths</li>
<li>A strong company culture and purpose</li>
</ul>
<h3>The convenience of recruitment platforms</h3>
<p>While e-recruitment initially surged in the 1990s, it wasn&rsquo;t until the mid-2000s, 2008 to be precise, that the LinkedIn Recruiter tool was launched.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The convenience of the platform, in tandem with its accessibility to global candidate pools has led to a surge in stand-alone recruiters with little experience in the market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While online recruitment platforms are often harnessed by organisations, and other stand-alone recruitment entrepreneurs in a more nuanced way, &lsquo;head-hunters&rsquo; who used LinkedIn to spam candidates and clients alike are a modern issue that can reduce people&rsquo;s confidence in the effectiveness of the modern recruitment market.</p>
<p>When used by a seasoned recruitment professional, e-recruitment platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter can activate access to diverse talent pools, and exceptional expertise across the world, while enhancing client reputation.<br><br><br><br></p>
<h2>How the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed tech in recruitment</h2>
<p>The events of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of lock-down reverberated across the world of business, while some organisations shrank, others rapidly expanded, incentivising recruitment organisations to find new, more digitally enabled ways to access talent and connect them to the right organisations fast.</p>
<p>In the world of STEM, where COVID-19 vaccines and diagnostics were key to unravelling the trials of the pandemic, digital recruitment was essential to hire the right candidates at volume. Today, in an increasingly candidate-led and fast-paced market, the digital recruitment trend seems here to stay.</p>
<p>At SRG, we&rsquo;ve harnessed digital recruitment with many of our global pharmaceutical and diagnostic clients, for whom we have utilised&nbsp;<strong><a href="../../../../../../blog/the-3-key-principles-of-an-effective-hiring-strategy-in-stem" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">digital tools like video-interview technology to effectively hire at pace&nbsp;</a></strong>while preserving organisational culture and driving diversity.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The wider impact of the digitalisation trend in recruitment continues to shape the market today, and has resulted in the following fundamental shifts:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Improved access to diverse talent:&nbsp;</strong>Disabled, socio-economically disadvantaged, and other diverse groups are less likely to have the means to travel to multiple interviews. Digital interviews offer a way to connect with and hire diverse talent in a realistic, and effective way.</li>
<li><strong>Location has no limits:</strong>&nbsp;Candidates can interview easily before they re-locate for positions requiring in-office or laboratory work. Meanwhile for remote, or global organisations seeking talent in a new country, scouting and hiring talent has become far easier.</li>
<li><strong>The pace of recruitment has accelerated:&nbsp;</strong>Candidates can complete multiple interviews in one day, accelerating the pace at which companies must structure their own interview process, and react to ensure the best talent is hired.</li>
</ol>
<h2>What is next for the recruitment industry?</h2>
<p>The recruitment industry has undergone several transformations over the last half century, evolving from what was once a manual and in-person led field, to a dynamic, digital and fast-paced industry.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Successfully building a talent strategy for tomorrow relies on ensuring that your recruitment partner can effectively engage with you as a client, and that candidates are effectively committed to your organisation throughout the recruitment process.</p>
<p>Today, and in the future of the recruitment, the onus will be on so much more than the job alone, people want to know about the benefits, the culture, career development, diversity and inclusion rather than just a job description and salary.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s important to recognise that the shift towards a candidate led market has been largely unprecedented. Organisations need to move past the mind-set of merely increasing salaries, and broaden their perspective to actionably consider how they can create the right working environment for employees, and the right candidate process for their prospective new hires.</p>

<h2>What are the core pillars of a managed service programme or contingent workforce solution?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By using a vendor management system, a robust managed service programme provides complete oversight into the status of each contingent worker at your company &mdash; optimising contingent workforce management and driving performance through people, processes, and technology.</p><details><summary>The core components of a managed service programme include:</summary><ul><li>Management of the non-permanent workforce (timesheets, payroll, etc.)</li><li>Qualified pools of talented candidates</li><li>An efficient recruitment process</li><li>Supplier management</li><li>Contract management</li><li>Candidate selection</li><li>Data-driven analysis</li><li>Invoice management</li><li>Frequent progress reports</li><li>Business reviews</li><li>Payrolling</li><li>HR management</li><li>Metrics dashboard</li></ul></details>

<h2>What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A managed service provider (MSP) or contingent workforce solution (CWS), manages the temporary worker recruitment for an organisation and is responsible for the end-to-end management of the contingent workforce - from supplier management and strategic workforce planning to contractor care and offboarding.</p><p>In the recruitment industry, the term &lsquo;MSP&rsquo; can refer to either a managed service programme OR a managed service provider. The difference between the two is that a managed service programme is a contingent workforce solution (CWS), while a managed service provider is a specialist who delivers this solution.</p><p>In other words, &lsquo;managed service programme&rsquo; and &lsquo;contingent workforce solution&rsquo; can be used interchangeably to describe the service offered by a managed service provider like SRG. To avoid further confusion, we&rsquo;ll stick to full terms from here on out.</p>

<h2>What are the benefits of a managed service provider or contingent workforce solution?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In an increasingly competitive contingent talent market, turning to a managed service programme brings several key benefits to a business.</p><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Control</strong></summary><p>Hiring managers can easily acquire strong talent thanks to streamlined, standardised processes across all suppliers &mdash; driving down time-to-hire.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Visibility</strong></summary><p>You&rsquo;ll gain oversight of the entire contingent workforce via a tailored VMS that provides regular reporting and a clear audit trail.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Compliance and risk mitigation.</strong></summary><p>&nbsp;With external experts managing all legislative and governance requirements, you&rsquo;ll be brought up to speed on compliance best practices and ensure your business is fully compliant.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Supply chain efficiency</strong></summary><p>By running all contractor and supplier engagement through a single trusted provider, you&rsquo;ll significantly reduce administrative burden.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Agility</strong></summary><p>With the experience of a managed service provider to call upon, you can better respond to market shifts and improve efficiencies &mdash; making your organisation more agile in the process.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Cost savings</strong></summary><p>A managed service provider will secure substantial cost savings through exercises such as supply base reduction and staffing benchmarking.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Scalability</strong></summary><p>Working with an extensive supplier base, a managed service provider can find you alternative sources of talent when your supply chain fails to deliver &mdash; enabling you to scale your programme up or down according to your immediate business needs.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Governance</strong></summary><p>Ensuring internal mandating of rates, compliance, and processes.</p></details><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Utilising a managed service provider is a win-win for any business with a sizeable temporary workforce. By building relationships with your business users to understand the ins and outs of your organisation, a dedicated team of industry experts manages your suppliers, sources top talent, and drives best practices on your behalf.</p>

<p>One of the most effective ways a business can successfully manage its contingent workforce is by calling on the expertise of a third-party solutions provider &mdash; particularly one with a dedicated account management team, an optimised vendor management system (VMS), and a focus on control and cost savings.</p>

Managed Service Provider &amp; Contingent Workforce Solutions

<h2>Is an MSP solution right for my business?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While contingent working has grown at a phenomenal pace in recent years, finding top contingent talent with the most critical skills is an increasingly costly and time-consuming process. With contingent workers (ie. non-employees) making up 40% of the workforce, being able to attract the best talent is crucial.</p><p>If your organisation has a medium-to-large contingent workforce, a managed service programme is the ideal solution. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to improve visibility, compliance,&nbsp;or control, or simply want a fresh recruitment strategy with a new partner, we can build a solution that works for your business.</p><p>Managed service provider solutions don&rsquo;t work for every business, particularly those without sizeable contingent workforces. If you&rsquo;re a scaleup or a startup with a smaller contingent workforce, one of our other recruitment services may prove a better fit.</p>
