MSP, EXPLAINED

Your external workforce shouldn’t require an internal team just to manage it.

A Managed Services Provider—or MSP—is a partner that manages the day-to-day operations of your external workforce program. Instead of your HR, Procurement, Finance, and Operations teams coordinating multiple staffing agencies, processes, rates, invoices, and compliance requirements independently, SourceNow creates one structured operating model around the entire program.

frequently asked questions

Common questions about MSPs, explained clearly

What is an MSP in staffing?

A Managed Services Provider manages the day-to-day operations of an organization’s contingent or external workforce program. This can include staffing suppliers, requisitions, compliance, workforce processes, supplier performance, invoicing, reporting, and program optimization.

What is the difference between an MSP and a VMS?

An MSP is the service and management layer behind a contingent workforce program. A VMS is the technology used to manage and track workforce activity. Organizations often use both together: the MSP manages the program while the VMS provides the workflows, automation, and data.

Why do companies use an MSP?

Companies typically consider an MSP when their external workforce becomes difficult to manage across multiple suppliers, locations, rates, processes, invoices, and compliance requirements.

Does an MSP replace staffing agencies?

Not necessarily. An MSP typically coordinates and manages the staffing supplier ecosystem rather than simply replacing it. The objective is to create consistent processes, supplier accountability, and centralized program management.

Who benefits from an MSP?

HR, Procurement, Finance, Operations, hiring managers, and executive leadership can all benefit from greater workforce visibility and more consistent external labor processes.
