Managed Service Provider (MSP) by Sevenstep

Contingent Workforce Program Management

Contingent labor is a significant portion of many organizations’ workforces. Sevenstep’s managed service provider solutions help clients elevate their contingent labor programs by improving visibility and control, optimizing processes, and effectively managing costs.

By effectively managing their contingent workforce programs with a managed service provider, organizations can realize significant operational and strategic benefits, including:

  • Spend visibility and compliance
  • Adherence to labor regulations governing contingent workers
  • Access to a range of best-in-class staffing providers
  • Optimized management of the entire contingent labor program

Our Managed Service Provider Clients

Sevenstep’s managed service provider solutions are designed for medium- to large-scale employers – both domestic and global – that hire anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand contingent workers annually. Our engagements are typically three to five years in duration.
