What makes our contingent workforce management solutions different?
Powered by data
We make data-driven decisions to optimize 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.

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.

FAQs
Simply put, RPO relates to permanent hiring requirements and CWS to services that support the delivery and management of non-permanent resources. Together, they offer comprehensive and highly flexible solutions to all your talent needs.
- Risk management: we own and manage the risks associated with engaging workers
- Cost efficiency: we engage contingent talent through the most cost-effective route
- Scalability: our solutions flex in line with client demand, enabling us to meet contingent hiring surges with no impact on BAU delivery
- Visibility: we provide visibility of contingent workforce, enabling better compliance and cost management
We see clients engage contingent resource across a broad range of roles and we’ve developed talent pools filled with varied skills to quickly meet client needs. That said, typical contingent worker role types include Technology and Change roles, where workers are brought in to support on specific projects rather than BAU activity.
We build sustainable partnerships with clients that enable us to truly understand their business and needs. Our recruiters understand the ‘fingerprint of success’ within a client and will assess the quality of candidates they engage with against this market to ensure they are the right fit for the role.
Our support extends right through a contingent workers contract, up until the point of offboarding. We support contingent workers through the onboarding and screening process, deliver their day-one inductions, manage the timesheet and payroll process during assignment, monitor all compliance requirements, and smoothly offboard them when their contract ends.
