Background

The North American arm of a multinational banking and financial services company was seeking a more efficient—and cost-effective—way to manage their contractor population. 

Before LevelUP’s engagement, the company relied solely on agencies to fill most open positions with little oversight – leaving them at the whim of mark-up fees and market challenges. Business units had free reign to choose their vendor, making it difficult to evaluate vendor performance. 

Approach

Developed a Consultant Program

Launched consultant program to support recruitment, onboarding, ongoing management, and offboarding of temps, consultants, and vendors.

Standardize Vendor Agreements

Developed a vendor agreement that would be standard across all business units to effectively measure performance and value.

Enforce Maximum Mark-ups

Maximum mark ups implemented to ensure costs stayed within reason
