About the Service

A leading South African financial institution is mobilising a managed service to run its contingent workforce process end to end. The service covers the full contractor lifecycle: requisitions, supplier routing, onboarding, contractor care, renewals, timesheets and deliverables, billing control and exits. It operates for a large population of contractors and consultants placed by a panel of more than 200 recruitment suppliers.

The service is delivered by a neutral managed service provider, on the client's systems and under the client's policies. The client keeps every decision that matters: policy, budget, rates, selection, payment and settlement. The provider administers, controls, reports and improves, and treats every supplier equally.

• favour or disadvantage any supplier or candidate.
• influence supplier allocation, candidate screening or progression, rate outcomes, commercial disputes or supplier standing. This role sits in a ring-fenced specialist team.

You must declare any current or recent relationship with the client institution or with any supplier on its panel.
