Back to Success Stories
Background
To meet their contingent workforce challenges, and better manage their contractors into the future, this company went to tender in 2011 to source a single payroll provider.
CXC won the tender as the only vendor-neutral provider in the market and implemented an end-to-end Managed Service Program (MSP).
Challenge
Before engaging CXC, this company required a compliant, cost-effective solution for managing their contingent workforce in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, they needed to:
- Improve administrative efficiency across their panel of 30+ recruitment agencies.
- Move to one, standardised contractor agreement for all non-employee workers.
- Improve compliance of non-employee workers, and better manage visas and insurances.
- Reduce risks including co-employment and data exposure. Reduce and better manage spend across the entire non-employee population
Our solution
With an on-site team based in Hong Kong, CXC’s solution established an employer-of-record, contractor management outsourcing service for all contractors, regardless of sourcing method.
CXC’s solution includes:
- Engaging with agencies to ensure the efficient running of the recruitment process, including query management.
- On-site recruitment process training for Hiring Managers.
- Monthly reports regarding agency suppliers.
- Liaising with Hiring Managers for upcoming contractor requirements.
- A single point of contact for agencies and Hiring Managers to provide feedback.
- Market intel, industry trends data and insights.
- CV screening and short-listing.
- On-site contractor care and management.
- Actively managing a talent pool via a custom technology tool.
- Tenure management and renewals for non-employee workers.
