What is vendor neutral MSP?

Vendor neutral MSP is when a managed services provider (MSP) partners with an agreed list of recruitment suppliers, which are all given a fair opportunity to put forward candidates for your vacancies. This makes it different from the master vendor model, where the MSP itself supplies most of your candidates. Here at Comensura, we use the vendor neutral model.

How a vendor neutral MSP works

For visibility and access to the top talent, a vendor neutral MSP trumps the master vendor model every time. And because it increases competition in the supply chain, a vendor neutral MSP can reduce costs significantly.

Get more favourable terms

As your MSP, we take on the contractual relationship with recruitment agencies to put consistent and favourable terms in place. Because we give agencies the opportunity to supply labour to all our customer programmes, you benefit from highly competitive margins (typically cutting your total expenditure by around 15%).

Create a competitive supply chain

Your programme is continuously improved as a supplier’s ability to meet set performance targets is ranked and awarded via a tiered system based on a balanced scorecard. Rankings are analysed by software to ensure they are completely objective. This allows us to identify underperforming agencies.
