Temporary Resourcing: Master Vendor

We have introduced a Master Vendor service, in partnership with Guidant Global, to act as single point of contact for hiring managers at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and improve the way we hire temporary workers.

We have worked closely with HR, Procurement, Legal and colleagues from across ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº to improve the way we hire temporary staff through working with a single, lead recruitment agency. The Master Vendor service acts as a single point of contact for hiring managers at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and manages the recruitment of temporary staff* from the various recruitment agencies on our preferred supplier list (PSL). 

The Master Vendor manages every stage of the recruitment process including: advertising and sourcing candidates (either directly or through our preferred supplier list); shortlisting CVs; carrying out compliance and Right to Work checks; working with ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº to on-board new workers; and managing relationships with and supporting temporary workers.  

*Unitemps will continue to provide in-house temporary recruitment for all roles where you may want to recruit ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº students or Alumni, as well as direct bookings where Unitemps is the preferred approach e.g. guest lecturers.
