Managed Service Provider (MSP) Recruitment
End-to-end managed services, powered by technology, compliance and workforce expertise.
What is a Recruitment MSP?
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) in recruitment is a workforce solution where a single partner manages all aspects of your contingent staffing. Instead of juggling multiple agencies, contracts, and processes, an MSP gives you one central program that oversees your entire non-permanent workforce, from sourcing and onboarding to compliance and reporting.
This approach is also called MSP for recruitment, staffing and contingent workforce management, and it is designed to give organisations greater visibility, cost control, and access to quality talent.

FAQs About Recruitment MSPs
Is a recruitment MSP the same as an IT MSP?
No. IT MSPs manage technology infrastructure. Recruitment MSPs manage people, suppliers, and contingent staffing.
What industries use MSP recruitment?
Government, resources, and large enterprises benefit most, but MSP recruitment models are expanding into professional services and corporate staffing.
How does an MSP differ from RPO?
An RPO manages permanent hires. An MSP focuses on contingent or temporary workforce management.
