What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) or Contingent Workforce Solution (CWS) manages the recruitment and day-to-day oversight of an organisation’s temporary or non-permanent workforce. This includes everything from contractor onboarding, timesheets, and payrolling to supplier management, compliance, reporting, and strategic workforce planning.
In the recruitment industry, "MSP" can refer to either a managed service programme or a managed service provider. The programme (also known as a contingent workforce solution) is the service model, while the provider is the expert that delivers it. To avoid confusion, SRG refers to these services by their full names throughout.
