5 Reasons to Hire an MSP Now

In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, HR. Talent Acquisition and Procurement leaders are constantly pressured to control costs, reduce risk, and manage an increasingly complex non-employee workforce. A Managed Service Provider (MSP) can deliver the structure, technology, and governance needed to bring visibility and control to contingent labor programs. But how do you know if your organization is truly ready to take that step? Here are the top 5 reasons why now is the right time to hire an MSP.

1. You’re Spending More on Temporary Workers Than You Realize

Without clear oversight, contingent labor costs can spiral. Many organizations lack full visibility into temporary worker rates, overtime, or hidden supplier markups.

OneBeacon’s MSP solution provides centralized visibility into all contingent labor spend, backed by a Vendor Management System (VMS) that standardizes rates and enforces cost controls. This ensures you get consistent, competitive pricing from staffing suppliers while uncovering hidden savings opportunities.

2. You Lack Clarity on What Temporary Workers Are Doing

Do you know which projects your temporary workers are working on, or whether those projects align with business priorities? Too often, temporary workers operate in silos, making it difficult to track productivity and ROI.

With OneBeacon, organizations gain full program governance. Our MSP team ensures that every temporary worker is clearly assigned, monitored, and evaluated against performance metrics. You’ll know not just what your contingent workers are doing but also how they’re contributing to business outcomes.

3. You Have Gaps in Systems and Site Access Control

From email accounts to building badges, improper provisioning of temporary workers poses both security and compliance risks. If temporary workers retain access after an assignment ends—or lack the tools they need while engaged—your organization faces unnecessary exposure.

OneBeacon brings discipline to the provisioning process, with standardized onboarding and offboarding protocols integrated with your IT and facilities teams to ensure access is managed correctly. The result is reduced security risks and a seamless experience for your contingent workforce.

4. You Don’t Know Where Your Temporary Workers Are Located

With hybrid and remote work becoming the norm, many organizations don’t have accurate visibility into where their temporary workers are physically located. This can create compliance issues around labor laws, taxes, or international regulations.

Our MSP solution, powered by industry-leading VMS technology, provides complete visibility into worker locations. Whether temporary workers are on-site, remote, or offshore, OneBeacon ensures you comply with regional labor laws and internal workforce policies.

5. You’re Concerned About Risk but Lack Oversight

From co-employment challenges to inconsistent background checks, unmanaged contingent labor can create legal and financial risks.

Risk mitigation is built into every aspect of OneBeacon’s MSP offering. We standardize supplier agreements, enforce compliance with worker screenings and background checks, and help ensure proper worker classification. With OneBeacon, you can rest assured that your contingent workforce program is structured to minimize risk.

The Bottom Line

Hiring an MSP isn’t just about cutting costs; it’s about gaining control over your contingent workforce. If your organization is struggling with visibility, cost control, or compliance around temporary workers, the time to act is now.
