Streamlining Contingent Hiring for a Global Financial Services Leader

 

Our client, a renowned global financial services organisation with a rich history spanning over 200 years, first sought our talent solutions expertise back in 2014. Over the past decade, we have partnered with them as their trusted Management Service Provider (MSP), supporting their talent strategy across EMEA. 

Today, our direct hiring team plays a pivotal role in powering our client's contingent hires in the UK, Ireland, and Luxembourg. 

What makes our contingent workforce management solutions different?
 

Powered by data

We make data-driven decisions to optimise your hiring processes and deliver the talent you need effectively and efficiently. The key to operational excellence is accurate data, but many businesses struggle to produce consistent metrics and up-to-date market insight. That’s where RWInsights comes in. 

RWInsights is our cloud-based platform powered by 100+ data sources and a global team of data scientists who are experts in talent analytics, and the economic and demographic factors that influence talent. It gives you access to an always-on, personalised talent analytics platform to build a truly data-led approach to managing your non-permanent workforce. 

Enabled by tech

Our CWS solutions are always underpinned by technology solutions that meet the specific requirements of our clients. Central to all these solutions is a Vendor Management System (VMS) that enables us to manage the full procure-to-pay process. We have partnerships with the leading VMS providers to ensure the right solution is delivered for your unique requirements.

In addition to this, our RW Plus platform provides dynamic modules for each stage of the talent lifecycle, from route classification through to onboarding. RW Plus can work alongside and integrate seamlessly with the VMS to deliver expectational user experience.

Delivered by experts

Our business is built on providing the expertise to solve your toughest resourcing and talent management challenges. We have talent solutions specialists at every stage of the non-permanent management lifecycle - from finding the talent you need to rigorous process compliance and vendor performance management. Our teams will get to know you, champion your organisation’s story, and connect you to professionals who can transform your business.  

We have strong in-built capability for skills-first, diversity and environmental, social & governance (ESG) hiring needs. Our powerful combination of talent marketers and sourcing partners can help you explore and develop more diverse talent pools. Our experts in selection ensure a fair and meritocratic process every time. Whatever your challenges, we provide practical solutions and operational excellence at scale and speed, flexing the size and make-up of our team to match your requirements.
