What Is MSP?

A Managed Service Provider (MSP) assists businesses in streamlining their contingent workforce management. At Pontoon Solutions, we connect companies with staffing agencies, individual contractors, and technology partners, including Vendor Management Systems. As a global leader in contingent workforce solutions, we ensure a seamless talent acquisition and management process. We act as your strategic collaborator and advisor. We efficiently source and manage temporary workers, freelancers, and independent contractors to help you achieve organisational goals.

As your MSP provider, Pontoon's main role is simplifying the complexities of sourcing, onboarding, and managing temporary workers. We serve as the single point of contact, handling contract negotiations, compliance, and performance management, ensuring workforce compliance and vendor consolidation. This allows you to focus on your core operations while having access to a flexible and skilled workforce at your fingertips.

MSP services encompass a comprehensive suite of solutions for managing contingent workforces. At Pontoon Solutions, we handle workforce planning, vendor management, talent acquisition, onboarding, compliance, performance monitoring, reporting, and market intelligence. Our advanced tech stack, workforce analytics, and industry expertise streamline these processes, enhancing your workforce agility and reducing costs.

Your MSP should have a track record in managing similar workforce requirements in your industry. You should assess their technological capabilities, looking for efficient workforce management services, contract management, and reporting. Flexibility and global reach are also crucial in adapting to evolving workforce demands. Pontoon's global presence and sterling reputation make us a compelling choice for organisations of all sizes. We use our Global Delivery Network to provide MSP solutions for different industries. These include consumer products, financial services, industry, life sciences, and technology. Our suite of tools and workforce analytics empowers intelligent decision-making and trailblazing talent attraction strategies.

Managed service provider models include vendor-neutral MSP, master vendor MSP, and hybrid MSP. Vendor-neutral MSPs work with a range of staffing agencies for an impartial talent selection. Master vendor MSPs collaborate with a single staffing agency but can access others if necessary. Hybrid MSPs combine both models, offering more flexibility. Pontoon’s dynamic approach to all these models allows us to customise our MSP programmes to fit your needs. We make sure that your contingent workforce strategy aligns with your business objectives. Additionally, we are experts in contingent direct sourcing, leveraging employer-branded communities of candidates interested in your brand.
