Manage agency supply chain
Recruitment agencies form an integral part of most companies' recruitment strategy. Therefore our interaction with your agency supply chain is designed to deliver the maximum benefit with the minimum disruption. We achieve this in the following ways:

  • Engage - migrate, identify and introduce new suppliers as appropriate
  • Control - standardise terms and ensure conformance to process
  • Leverage - maximise ability to perform quicker, better and to cost
  • Reducing leakage to non-approved suppliers – putting in controls at the vacancy authorisation and payment stage to protect the client and the approved suppliers.

To date, Q People HR has dealt with a wide number of agencies in all disciplines, working to common terms unique to each client in support of their desired sourcing strategies.

Control your temporary workforce
Our experience is that most clients do not have a clear ownership strategy for temporary and contract workers. This often leads to the following issues:

  • Poor visibility of temporary usage
  • Uncontrolled agency usage
  • Varying costs of hire
  • Uncontrolled durations of hire
  • Disguised employment risks

Our temporary hiring process delivers a regulated measure of control and visibility that manages the terms and costs of all temporary engagements. By active management of your temporary workforce, we work to minimise your exposure to employment litigation risks.

  • Spend
  • Authorisation procedures
  • Sourcing Channels
  • Agency Usage
  • Cycle times
  • Temp usage

Our management of your recruitment programme provides this level of transparency and management information, giving you the ability to proactively manage your sourcing strategies.
