Choose the right perspective
Match the person's program to yours, since a single-country contractor program and a global program spread across many suppliers call for different experience. If your question is about sourcing strategy and supplier contracts, favor people whose roles sat in procurement or contracts; for day-to-day program operations, favor people who ran the program itself.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide whether to run a contingent workforce program through an MSP, a VMS alone or an in-house team?
- 02Which metrics do you track every month to judge supplier performance and contractor spend, and which ones do you report to leadership?
- 03How do you handle co-employment and worker classification risk when business units bring in contractors on their own?
