Today marks the official launch of our new temporary and casual staffing partnership with Adecco, replacing Reed as our Managed Service Provider (MSP). As we transition to this new model, here’s a brief overview of what’s changing and how it affects you.
What’s changing
Adecco is introducing new technology platforms to streamline recruitment processes for casual staffing and general temporary hires.
What you need to know
All managers who recruit or manage contingent workers will now use:
- VectorVMS - a vendor management system for raising staffing requests and managing worker payments.
- Planbition – a scheduling and planning tool for casual staffing assignments.
No additional systems are required for the requisition-to-pay process. All recruitment will be managed exclusively through Adecco’s platforms.
Ongoing support
We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and Adecco will continue to provide guidance and support.
