Accord Technologies, Inc. has a lot of experience with recruiting for Vendor Management System (VMS) jobs that go through a portal to a Managed Service Provider (MSP) who then hires the candidates (MSP).
We get access to the VMS portal for most of our clients, so we can get job orders and submit candidates directly. We also cut out most of their high-cost local labor from the VMS process.
We work with our clients to come up with a strategy for each VMS program. Our goal is to make sure both the MSP scorecard grade and gross margins are the best they can be for each program.
All of the VMS programs are different, but they all work the same.
The key to success for most VMS programs is to have a recruiting process that is based on one of four main strategies: speed, quality, bill rate or relationship.
For each VMS program, we follow the main strategy for that program when we recruit.
They know how to get in touch with a lot of people quickly, conduct skill-matching interviews to get the most VMS submissions, and fight for low pay rates through aggressive negotiation.
