Key Findings & Highlights:
The Managed Services Programs (MSP) market remains strong in 2014, with many organizations looking for greater compliance as well as greater visibility and management of cost of contingent spend.
Costs factors include costs relating to day rates, overtime and per diems, volume discounts, managing requested rate increases, proportion of direct source (pre-identified) candidate, elimination of third party vendors, and rebates. Cost reductions can come from a number of areas including:
- Direct sourcing (rather than agency sourcing)
- One-time overcharging, pay rate alignment
- Daily rate negotiations
- Improved billing/payment and invoicing accuracy
- Overtime rate negotiations
- Drug screens and background verification savings
- Tenure management
- Improvements and standardization of net payment terms.
By using MSP services, organizations seek to improve their engagement with staffing agencies to drive greater performance. Over time, organizations have a tendency to increase the number agencies they use and unless these are actively managed, using a disproportionate number of agencies will inherently dilute the focus of any agency engaged.
MSP services include:
- Vendor neutral services
- Master vendor services
- Direct MSP
- Statement of work (SOW).
SOW services are increasing in importance to offer enhanced management of contingent workforce performance.
At the same time, organizations are increasingly seeking blended workforce services, combining support for both permanent and temporary hiring. Blending MSP services with RPO services is common for ~6% of contracts, whereby vendors provide integrated workforce management services. With integrated talent acquisition, employment branding and talent pool development can be leveraged across both workforces.
Acquisitions continue, in part driven by the need to support buyers' increasingly global recruiting requirements, with the incidence of global and multi-country MSP deals continuing to increase.
