Case Study: How Bridge VMS  Transforms MSP's Business

Written by Bridge VMS Team | Jun 24, 2024

One of our larger clients, an established global recruitment solutions company and Managed Service Provider (MSP), excels in finding top talent across various sectors and regions. They offer comprehensive services, including recruitment, executive search, project-based recruitment, and fully outsourced recruitment solutions such as Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and MSP. Despite their strong market presence, they faced significant challenges managing their large-scale recruitment programs prior to on-boarding with us.

Customer Challenges

Managing substantial recruitment programs manually was increasingly untenable for our client. Specifically, they struggled with:

  • Manual Processes: The absence of a Vendor Management System (VMS) for their more extensive programs, each exceeding $50million in spend, meant they relied heavily on spreadsheets. This approach was labor-intensive and prone to errors.
  • Failed Implementations: Previous attempts to implement VMS solutions for smaller programs resulted in poor experiences. Issues included over-promised functionalities, inadequate implementation support, hidden costs, and lack of reliable customer service.
  • Inefficiency and High Costs: The manual management of recruitment programs led to inefficiencies, higher operational costs, and challenges in tracking compliance and fraud prevention.
