What makes our contingent workforce management solutions different?
Powered by data
We make data-driven decisions to optimise your hiring processes and deliver the talent you need effectively and efficiently. The key to operational excellence is accurate data, but many businesses struggle to produce consistent metrics and up-to-date market insight. That’s where RWInsights comes in.
RWInsights is our cloud-based platform powered by 100+ data sources and a global team of data scientists who are experts in talent analytics, and the economic and demographic factors that influence talent. It gives you access to an always-on, personalised talent analytics platform to build a truly data-led approach to managing your non-permanent workforce.
Enabled by tech
Our CWS solutions are always underpinned by technology solutions that meet the specific requirements of our clients. Central to all these solutions is a Vendor Management System (VMS) that enables us to manage the full procure-to-pay process. We have partnerships with the leading VMS providers to ensure the right solution is delivered for your unique requirements.
In addition to this, our RW Plus platform provides dynamic modules for each stage of the talent lifecycle, from route classification through to onboarding. RW Plus can work alongside and integrate seamlessly with the VMS to deliver expectational user experience.
