<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>

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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In a dynamic and rapidly evolving world of work, how can employers of STEM talent attract and retain the best people in a competitive labor market? Contrary to popular belief, good salaries alone won&rsquo;t do it. Rather, companies need to do a better job of offering purpose and other compelling benefits to candidates, according to a panel of work experts who recently spoke on an SRG <a name="_Int_mCIji8nm"></a>webinar. The event focused on the findings of New Scientist&rsquo;s Global Talent Trends &amp; Insights report, which surveyed the sentiments of 4,000 life sciences professionals across the UK, US, and Europe. <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/careers-in-life-sciences"><span style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Discover </span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Who Has the Best Pay in Life Sciences</span></a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Facing today&rsquo;s climate of uncertainty, life sciences companies are challenged to become more agile and competitive, and <a name="_Int_vtPlgZfI"></a>it&rsquo;s clear that talent is the lever to make this happen, according to the panelists. Success, however, depends on employers acquiring and <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">utilizing<strong> </strong></span>talent in cost-effective, impactful ways that achieve milestones more quickly and consistently, whether that&rsquo;s developing a new blockbuster drug, a new medical device, or a diagnostic test.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&ldquo;There is pressure to do more with less, but there is a real focus on that speed of getting innovation to market as soon as possible. And I really do feel that now more than ever leaders <a name="_Int_k2LQIvDR"></a>have to demonstrate a real level of adaptability and flexibility in everything that <a name="_Int_cgOn7FNf"></a>they're doing,&rdquo; according to panelist Philippa Clark, Senior Client Manager with SRG in the UK.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Clark explained that with investments in the UK life sciences sector remaining strong, employers increasingly turn to contingent talent to get work done more cost-effectively and efficiently. This has led to growing interest in statement of work resources, <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/business-solutions/direct-hire"><span style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">direct sourcing</span></a> of flexible talent, and other work arrangements to help medtech and drug manufacturers drive revenue growth. And the pressure to meet work goals is not isolated <a name="_Int_TzmnGWmD"></a>to the UK and Europe. In fact, one-third of those surveyed by New Scientist in North America say they expect their department to receive budget increases by the end of 2025. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Demand for talent unabated</span></strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/pay-for-life-science-workers-rises-fastest-in-the-uk-but-still-lags-behind-north-america-and-europe">spending anticipated</a> in the near future, demand for STEM talent will <a name="_Int_HWAmTVj1"></a>likely remain sustained worldwide. One reason is that during the pandemic, a disproportionate amount of research went to treating COVID, leading to deprioritization of other projects, according to Justin Mullins, a panelist on the <a name="_Int_faaOO6WJ"></a>webinar and Consultant Editor at New Scientist. He pointed out that when the pandemic was over, many life sciences companies faced a backlog of projects. This led to a surge in demand for talent, and that appetite for resources has not diminished.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mullins pointed out that UK life sciences companies have since stepped up research and development work and appear poised to innovate more quickly. The sector has overcome the backlog and &ldquo;turned into a streamlined, forward-thinking agile agency, which is really accelerating the way in which Innovation can be brought to market,&rdquo; he said, pointing out the post-COVID &ldquo;bounce&rdquo; for businesses has also benefited from greater economic and political stability recently. With the UK&rsquo;s recent elections now over, he said companies can better focus on growth, which will further accelerate the sector&rsquo;s growing need for talent.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This trend, however, will put additional pressure on talent scarcity. Last year, salaries in life sciences rose markedly, especially in the UK, where the average pay rose more than 11%, according to New Scientist&rsquo;s research. Growth reached 3.9% in North America and 3.4% in Europe &mdash; figures all above the average wage growth for all jobs in those regions. At the same time, 60% of all workers surveyed said they planned to change jobs this year, further challenging employers to acquire and retain <a name="_Int_vGs5gESc"></a>great talent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How can life sciences <a name="_Int_fE48oPgB"></a>employers address this growing problem? As panelist and SRG US Senior Vice President Patrick Stedman noted, companies must offer more than just competitive compensation to acquire, motivate, and retain their best people. In fact, the Talent Trends &amp; Insights report found that 62% of STEM professionals ranked wages lower than other employment benefits as the reason for joining a company. Stedman said today&rsquo;s workforce is focused on the values of an employer, its purpose, and how it treats its people. Specifically, many workers want assurances that they <a name="_Int_EGX5JaSQ"></a>work for a diverse and inclusive organization.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&ldquo;If you look at the STEM portfolio, specifically within life sciences and clinical, <a name="_Int_kmMLLUOe"></a>we're <a name="_Int_Km8s5b2c"></a>a very diverse population so <a name="_Int_YmicE7sN"></a>it's extremely important that we are keeping at the forefront. <a name="_Int_hA7Gzz5A"></a>It's a catalyst in all these organizations to understand how important it is to promote inclusivity and diversity &mdash; promoting it in a way that <a name="_Int_WTl2CZN0"></a>it's openly discussed and that we're in a position where people are comfortable with understanding the mission, vision, and value of these organizations,&rdquo; Stedman noted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">AI and the urgency for skilling</span></strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another priority for STEM talent is their need for upskilling. With AI proliferating across the life sciences industry, professionals increasingly need training and development to stay current with technology. And <a name="_Int_VAsB5PN4"></a>it&rsquo;s not just their hard skills that scientists seek to enhance; Talent Trends &amp; Insights research found that the competencies most people want to improve are cognitive ones, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. In the AI era, helping people adjust to the changing nature of work will be critical to long-term organizational success, according to Tracy Monsour, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the Impellam <a name="_Int_mgUfE9mI"></a>Group and a member of the <a name="_Int_uN68FDUX"></a>webinar panel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&ldquo;The topic of upskilling and reskilling is going to be one that we're talking about for a very long time,&rdquo; Monsour said, especially as artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming how medtech and pharma companies operate. &ldquo;AI is necessary for skill sets, in terms of advancing research, development production and manufacturing of the products that impact the greater life sciences industry.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Indeed, half of those surveyed say AI will change the nature of their job completely, with a majority saying the technology already makes them more efficient at work.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In what other ways will </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/ai-transforming-life-sciences"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">AI transform the future of work</span></a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">? That remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: investing in people will continue to be a winning strategy in the future, whether <a name="_Int_tNmyHsKI"></a>that&rsquo;s through upskilling and reskilling, raising engagement through purpose and value, enhancing human capabilities with technology, or a combination of all these initiatives. The key to unlocking workforce potential requires insights and understanding of people&rsquo;s expectations of work and the key motivators that resonate with STEM professionals. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">&nbsp;</span></p>

Fraudulent Candidates: Life-Threatening Lies

<h3 dir="ltr">With technological innovation and macroeconomic trends speeding up the evolution of our work environment &mdash; a process accelerated by COVID-19 and the rise of remote working &mdash; it is vital that STEM leaders have strategies in place to close the widening skills gap.</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/insights-into-stem-skills-shortages-in-the-uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The skills gap</a></strong> is one of the biggest problems currently facing the STEM sector and the wider economy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If recent World Economic Forum predictions are anything to go by,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/01/reskilling-revolution-jobs-future-skills/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the global economy will need to reskill 1 billion people by 2030</a>.&nbsp;By 2022 alone, 42% of the core skills required to perform existing jobs are expected to change.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Indeed, in SRG&rsquo;s in-depth&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/insights/stem-survey"><strong>2020 STEM Survey</strong></a>, hiring managers admitted to struggling to find the appropriate skill sets in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/find-a-job/science-jobs/biological-science-jobs">biological science</a>, chemistry and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/find-a-job/engineering-jobs">engineering</a>, and programming. Data analytics was another skill set deemed to be in short supply.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">So how, then, can businesses respond to this burgeoning crisis? Upskilling the workforce will be critical.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this article, we&rsquo;ll take a look at wider industry recommendations to provide our own list of strategies&nbsp;&mdash; strategies&nbsp;to help your business keep its workforce ahead of the curve and its talent pipeline evergreen.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Making skills an industry priority</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Outlining the long-term vision for the life sciences sector, Professor Sir John Bell&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/life-sciences-industrial-strategy-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Life Sciences Industrial Strategy (LSIS) report</a>&nbsp;states that the industry&rsquo;s success is &ldquo;closely tied to the ability to train and recruit the best possible workforce, equipped with a breadth of critical skills.&rdquo;</p>
<p dir="ltr">With this in mind, the LSIS identifies seven people and skills priorities that the sector at large should focus on in the coming years:</p>
<ol>
<li>Attract, retain, and develop &ldquo;globally mobile talent&rdquo;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Encourage students in schools, colleges, and universities to take up STEM subjects</li>
<li>Understand, anticipate, and respond to skills gaps across different occupations</li>
<li>Enable more mobility between the clinical, commercial, and academic sectors</li>
<li>Incentivise and support entrepreneur training for the migration of academic scientists into industry</li>
<li>Develop apprenticeships with STEM SMEs</li>
<li>Accelerate the convergence of life science, computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering and chemistry (especially in the fields of diagnostics, personalised medicine, and data science).</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course, achieving true skills parity in STEM takes time and requires a concerted international effort between governments, academic institutions, and STEM organisations. However, life science firms of all sizes can adopt these seven priorities as a means to make a tangible difference in their own workforces. Here's what you can do to ensure your people are ready to meet the future head-on.<br><br></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>7 actionable strategies to help upskill&nbsp;<em>your</em>&nbsp;workforce</strong></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>1) Encourage self-reliance and self-learning among employees...</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">As our STEM Survey shows,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/insights/stem-survey"><strong>more than half of respondents upskilled themselves within the past year</strong></a>&nbsp;&mdash; demonstrating a widespread awareness among workers that new skills are needed to traverse wider industry change. Actively encouraging this inclination and positioning it towards core business functions is a cost-effective way to stay ahead of the curve.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>2) But don't forget to maintain crucial support mechanisms</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">While employees should be empowered to be more autonomous with their learning and development, this does not give employers the green light to dismantle support structures. For self-learning to become truly embedded across an organisation, L&amp;D governance needs to be integrated with overall business strategy. This will ensure employees are directing their learning towards company goals and will provide them with the necessary support when needed.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>3) Forge strategic partnerships with academic institutions</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Having an alliance in place with a school, university or STEM research centre can help fast-track bright young talent into the right positions at your business. On an industry level, this consolidates and strengthens two of the core routes into a career in life science: academic education and vocational education. This, in turn, provides the workforce with more career agility &mdash; boosting vital skills like adaptability and flexibility in the process.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>4) Set up internal training bodies or online academies</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Building an in-house training program carries two key benefits: it equips employees with sufficient organisational knowledge and ensures they have the most up-to-date industry know-how. While some firms may not have a sufficient training budget, reskilling existing employees is a much more worthwhile investment than the costly task of hiring new employers to address skills shortages. Moreover, a targeted training scheme optimises the onboarding of new staff and frees up valuable time.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>5) Launch an apprenticeship initiative&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Though some SMEs with smaller budgets may be reluctant to take on apprentices, government financial assistance (the UK government&rsquo;s Apprenticeship Levy is a prominent example) is incentivizing such schemes. While apprenticeships may not address immediate skills shortages, they represent an economical way to prepare your workforce for the future.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>6) Expand the candidate search</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Your company&rsquo;s recruitment marketing strategies should take a proactive, multichannel approach. This includes keeping vacancies up-to-date on the website, spreading the word on social media, and adding more touchpoints to the candidate journey. Attention should also be paid to employer branding: applications will remain low if a company is perceived as undesirable to work at.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>7) Leverage the expertise of older employees</strong></h3>
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-d28e678f-7fff-74ea-6f6e-ede323e40805">Given that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aviva.co.uk/retirement/retired-life/the-facts-of-working-after-retirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">more than a million people over the age of 65</a> work on a part-time or consultancy basis in the UK, life science companies would be foolish not to call upon such a skill set. Aside from providing the valuable experience that may otherwise be lacking, such staff can be deployed as mentors for promising young employees. In turn, younger staff can share the tech and digital skills that can often be underdeveloped among older employees.<br><br></span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>The bottom line?</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><em>When employees are actively empowered to enhance their skill sets, both they and your business grow. Staff retention, engagement, and productivity all go up, while recruitment costs go down. In this turbulent economic landscape, addressing the STEM skills gap is a no-brainer.</em></p>

How to Upskill Digital at Pace in STEM

<h3 dir="ltr">The relationship between your business and your MSP partner will be one of the most important your organisation is ever involved in. If your partnership flourishes, so too will your contingent workforce &mdash; and you&rsquo;ll be furnished with a whole host of business benefits. If the relationship is beset by problems from the start, you&rsquo;ll have little to show for your investment.&nbsp;</h3>
<p dir="ltr">As we explored in a previous blog, the advantages of using an MSP are numerous. By bringing transparency to your contingent workforce and implementing agile programmes across your organisation, a managed service provider (MSP) solution can help you attract and retain the best contingent talent, futureproof your workforce, iron out inefficiencies and drive business growth.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To truly maximise the value and potential of the partnership, however, you need to choose the right managed service provider. This requires laying the groundwork for what you&rsquo;ll need from the MSP and what you expect them to deliver. With a little preparation, you&rsquo;ll sow the seeds for a fruitful partnership that brings out the best in your workforce &mdash; and positively impacts the bottom line, too.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Is an MSP solution right for my business?</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">This is the first question you should ask if you&rsquo;re considering outsourcing the management of your workforce to an MSP.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If your organisation has a medium-to-large contingent workforce, a managed service programme may prove the ideal solution. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to improve visibility, compliance, or control, or simply want a fresh recruitment strategy with a new partner, managed service programmes can be tailored to address the key challenges your business faces.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, managed service provider solutions don&rsquo;t work for every business &mdash; particularly those without sizeable contingent workforces. If you&rsquo;re a scaleup or a startup with a smaller contingent workforce, for example, another recruitment service may prove a better fit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When deciding if an MSP is the best way to fulfil your contingent goals, you&rsquo;ll need to turn your gaze inwards.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Step 1: Conduct an audit of your business needs</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">An outsourced workforce solution is a big commitment for any HR or procurement leader.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Confirming your requirements, engaging potential providers, picking a suitable partner and implementing the programme can all take upwards of a year. But the business value &mdash; both operational and financial &mdash; which can be unlocked from an MSP is significant enough to warrant serious consideration.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To figure out whether an MSP is right for your business, be sure to ask yourself the following questions:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">Are you employing more contingent labour than before?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Is your contingent workforce becoming more complex?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Is the compliance of your temporary workforce a concern?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Is having visibility of contingent workforce spend throughout your business a challenge?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Are you struggling to find the talent to drive business success?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Is recruiting and managing contingent workers distracting your managers from their core priorities?</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;ve answered &ldquo;yes&rdquo; to any of these questions, then an MSP solution could be the right option for your business.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>How to choose an MSP partner you can trust</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">You&rsquo;ve decided that a managed service programme is the right solution, but which provider to choose? There&rsquo;s certainly no shortage of managed service providers out there and the abundance of options can feel overwhelming.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before launching yourself into a partnership with an MSP, make sure to build a clear picture of what your business wants to achieve from the arrangement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Do you want to close the skills or resource gap at your organisation? Do you want to leverage new technologies to drive digital transformation or relieve pressure from the IT team? Or do you simply require assistance with a specific workforce problem that cannot be dealt with internally?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Setting clear goals or objectives will form the bulk of your brief to prospective MSPs and help you measure success down the line.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Step 2: Interview prospective MSPs</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">You should perform due diligence by asking prospective MSPs a series of questions to assess their compatibility with your organisation. For instance:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">How long has the MSP been operating?&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr">Are they transparent about financials?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Are they able to grow with your company?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Do they understand your brief?</li>
<li dir="ltr">What investments have they made in technologies and support tools?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Do they provide reporting? If so, what sort of reporting is it?</li>
<li dir="ltr">What services are outlined in their internal SLAs?</li>
<li dir="ltr">What recruitment processes do they follow?</li>
<li dir="ltr">Will the CEO or Managing Director be involved?</li>
<li dir="ltr">What are the MSP&rsquo;s ethos and values?</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Acquiring this information from the responses of each MSP on your shortlist will help you form a clear picture of which one best aligns with your company values and project goals.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Step 3: Choose your MSP and adopt a collaborative approach from the outset</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Once you&rsquo;ve decided on a particular MSP &mdash; one you are confident will really take your workforce management to the next level &mdash; aim to really take the time to get to know them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Build relationships with key stakeholders, get to grips with their SLA and make sure that your respective strategies can evolve together in an agile manner. After all, it&rsquo;s likely you&rsquo;ll be working with them for years to come.&nbsp;</p>

Choosing the right managed services provider (MSP) and building a collaborative relationship is vital for ensuring a successful partnership.

How to extract maximum value from your managed services provider (MSP)

<h3>Once overlooked and deemed an expensive bolt-on to recruitment, the employer brand now forms an integral part of not just a recruitment strategy but a top-level business strategy, too.</h3>
<p>In today&rsquo;s competitive labour markets, attracting and retaining talent can be a tricky endeavour for any business. In certain sectors, people increasingly have a choice where they work: if businesses cannot appeal to their target audience, candidates are unlikely to consider working for them.</p>
<p>Traditional recruitment methods no longer hold sway in such a fast-paced, highly competitive environment. According to Talent Now,&nbsp;50% of candidates wouldn&rsquo;t work for a company with a bad reputation&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;even for a pay rise.&nbsp;Instead of waiting for top talent to come to them, hiring managers now find themselves having to actively pursue talent.</p>
<p><strong>When planned and implemented effectively, employer branding &mdash; the process of promoting and showcasing a company&rsquo;s working practices, benefits, and culture to target candidates &mdash; can help bring potential candidates into the fold</strong>.</p>
<p>By building and maintaining a positive brand identity, any business can consolidate itself as an attractive place to work. Indeed, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://business.linkedin.com/content/dam/business/talent-solutions/global/en_US/site/pdf/datasheets/linkedin-why-your-employer-brand-matters-en-us.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn survey</a>, a company&rsquo;s employer brand &ldquo;is twice as likely to be linked to job consideration as a strong company brand.&rdquo; A strong employer brand quite literally drives candidates to a business.</p>
<p>While employer branding is not a cure-all solution to a business&rsquo; talent acquisition efforts, ensuring you have a good reputation in the eyes of job seekers is crucial. After all, there&rsquo;s a reason why people want to work for organisations like Google, Apple and Netflix.</p>
<p>Here are four benefits that employer branding brings to the recruitment process.</p>
<h2><strong>1) A strong employer brand helps you attract the right candidates</strong></h2>
<p>An employer brand is a company&rsquo;s way of telling the world what it does, what it stands for, and what working for it means for its people. It&rsquo;s about conveying a company&rsquo;s mission, vision, and values in a way that&rsquo;s honest, transparent, and believable.</p>
<p>With personality being a better barometer of hiring success than experience, successful employer brands harness the latest people analytics software to hyper-target individuals who share a similar ethos to the business and its culture (as well as the relevant skillset).</p>
<p>When marketing the business to the ideal candidate, it helps to target them via the right channels. With Millennials and Generation Z making up an ever-larger share of the workforce &mdash; generations that are highly active on social media &mdash; popular platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn are also being used to promote the employer brand.</p>
<p>This cannot be a one-way street, however. Smart businesses are unlocking the potential of connecting with prospective employees through social media and incorporating these online conversations into the candidate experience. The rise in chatbots to answer candidate queries is one such example of this ongoing dialogue in action.</p>
<h2><strong>2) A strong employer brand speeds up time-to-fill</strong></h2>
<p>This benefit is simple: job seekers who are familiar with a brand are more likely to respond to recruiters or hiring managers who reach out to them about a role at their business.</p>
<p>When candidates are more engaged with a brand and keener to join, the quicker the recruiting process becomes. Developing a robust candidate experience can facilitate this through regular communication &mdash; turning passive candidates into brand ambassadors.</p>
<h2><strong>3) A strong employer brand reduces hiring costs</strong></h2>
<p>According to LinkedIn data, employer branding can&nbsp;<a href="https://business.linkedin.com/content/dam/business/talent-solutions/global/en_us/c/pdfs/ultimate-list-of-employer-brand-stats.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reduce cost of hire by as much as 50%</a>. Employer branding tactics such as nurturing a large social media following and transmitting a clear Employer Value Proposition (EVP) helps to build a readily accessible &mdash; and suitable &mdash; talent pool. This, in turn, brings down the cost of recruitment marketing and other hiring processes.</p>
<h2><strong>4) A strong employer brand boosts retention</strong></h2>
<p>Though employer branding largely focuses on the candidate experience &mdash; what candidates go through when applying for a business and their subsequent perception of the brand &mdash; a robust employer brand strategy also considers the employee experience.</p>
<p>Having experienced the best and worst of an organisation, existing employees and the legacy workforce offer the most reliable insights into what it&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>really</em>&nbsp;like to work there. If employer branding doesn&rsquo;t factor these people into the equation, not doing so could spell disaster for an employer&rsquo;s reputation. Disgruntled employees could take to peer-to-peer review websites like Glassdoor to broadcast their frustrations to the wider world, damaging a business&rsquo; employer brand.</p>
<p>With an intuitive, easy, and informative onboarding process and a company culture that consistently reinforces the employer brand&rsquo;s message, employees are more likely to buy into the mission, vision, and values of a business. And when engagement is high, people are more likely to stay in their roles.<br><br>Moreover, engaged employees become willing brand ambassadors outside of work &mdash; strengthening the employer brand further still.</p>
<h2><strong>The takeaway: when the employer brand succeeds, recruitment succeeds</strong></h2>
<p>Attracting and retaining the right people is one of the fundamental challenges of modern business. With so many companies battling over the same talent, trying to cut through the noise and reach out to the right candidates can seem like a Sisyphean task.</p>
<p>In the 2020s, candidates&nbsp;<em>expect</em>&nbsp;employers to provide engaging candidate journeys. Anything to the contrary will likely trigger a negative response.</p>
<p>Therefore, a carrot-and-stick approach to recruitment will not suffice. Instead of making them want to join the business, cajoling candidates with large salaries without considering other aspects of work such as culture, work-life balance, and company values may even create a perception that the brand doesn&rsquo;t care about people. And if there&rsquo;s one thing that the best employer brands all have in common, it&rsquo;s that they come across as prioritising people.</p>
<p>This perception is what causes a company&rsquo;s recruitment efforts to sink or swim. And perception can be influenced by an infinite number of things. As such, a strong employer brand strives to make every touchpoint across the candidate experience &mdash; from the initial job search to the onboarding process &mdash; as seamless and as personalised as possible. Crucially, it also takes a&nbsp;<em>holistic</em>&nbsp;view of the overall employee experience.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the employer brand is about receiving buy-in from people both inside and outside the business. Nobody wants to work for a dull, uninspiring brand. But almost everyone wants to work with a sense of mission and purpose.</p>

Employer branding — the process of promoting and showcasing a company’s working practices, benefits, and culture to target candidates — forms an integral part of any recruitment strategy.

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>
