It is well known that technology plays a significant role in Contingent Workforce Management (CWM). Anne Rutledge, Executive Director of Talent Solutions at Resourgenix, explains how this technological foundation not only facilitates sourcing, onboarding, operational management, and governance but also utilises data analytics for strategic decision-making, from skills evaluation to financial management. Resourgenix’s dedication to embracing cutting-edge technologies guarantees a smooth, efficient, and compliant management process, establishing a new standard in the CWM field.
Resourgenix customises its approach to align with each client’s unique requirements, integrating seamlessly with existing systems while advocating for the essential adoption of Vendor Management Systems (VMS). This ensures a fluid process from sourcing to analytics and reporting, securing compliance and risk management as well as fostering effective communication and collaboration among all stakeholders. Rutledge highlights the value of a dynamic, technology-driven strategy in transforming relationships between employers, contingent workers, and CWM providers, thereby redefining industry benchmarks. “It’s crucial to have a Vendor Management System in place that can monitor the end-to-end process, from sourcing, engaging suppliers, implementing contracts, to managing timesheets, spend management, and finally, analytics and reporting,” she states. This system ensures transparency, efficiency, and compliance with governance standards throughout the contingent workforce management process.
Optimising Workforce Management: The VMS Advantage
Furthermore, VMS is pivotal in compliance and risk management within CWM, offering functionalities that cover record-keeping, verification, and compliance with labour laws and regulations. Rutledge adds, “A Vendor Management System supports compliance and risk management in Contingent Workforce Management through its various features. This includes configurable workflows, approval processes, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.” Its capacity for regulatory reporting and risk mitigation underscores its importance in maintaining legal and regulatory compliance, a crucial element in managing a contingent workforce.
Besides compliance and risk management, a VMS enhances communication and collaboration between employers, CWM providers, and contingent workers.
This ensures access to relevant documents, updates, and messages, boosting transparency, coordination, and efficiency.
Leveraging Analytics: Data-Driven Decisions in CWM
Building on the solid foundation of a Vendor Management System, Resourgenix sets itself apart with a strategic focus on data analytics in contingent workforce management. Rutledge highlights the importance of this approach: “In a contingent workforce environment, leveraging data analytics to make informed decisions based on skill evaluations to total spend is crucial.” This dedication to data-driven decision-making enables Resourgenix to effectively match contingent workers with job requirements and optimise workforce deployment for improved efficiency and satisfaction.
Rutledge further shed light on Resourgenix’s analytical depth, emphasising their focus on financial metrics and spend mix analysis: “Understanding the spend mix, such as the number of contractors versus Statement of Work workers in an organisation, is vital,” she elaborates, revealing the intricate interplay between operational and financial planning in contingent workforce management. Through this detailed analysis, Resourgenix not only matches talent with tasks but also provides strategic financial management and risk mitigation advice. The integration of data analytics with VMS technology exemplifies Resourgenix’s comprehensive approach to managing contingent workforces, ensuring projects are not just efficiently staffed but also cost-effective and aligned with broader business goals.

By employing the combined strengths of a Vendor Management System (VMS) and advanced data analytics, Resourgenix delivers a complete solution that transcends conventional staffing and recruitment practices. Their method optimises every facet of contingent workforce management, from precise skill and job requirement matching to strategic financial planning and risk mitigation. This comprehensive approach not only boosts the efficiency and satisfaction of employers and contingent workers but also cements Resourgenix’s position as an innovator and leader in client service within the contingent workforce arena.
