Across the UK more Councils have started to explore Hybrid approaches for their temporary staffing, Hybrid Models are perfect if you have diverse and complex agency requirements with Neutral or Master Vendor arrangements in place previously.
A fantastic example of a Hybrid Model is Hackney Council, who partnered with Matrix SCM in July 2017 to help them manage over £40 million of temporary staffing spend across a range of complex job categories.
A Hybrid Model involves exploring the different job categories and roles a client recruits for and building tailored recruitment pathways to deliver the best results. Giving you the best of traditional Neutral Vendor approach, with certain higher-touch account management for harder to fill job categories and senior roles.
With large organisations like Hackney, a Hybrid Model allows them to further tailor our approach to cater for requirements across ‘Generic’, ‘Specialist’ and ‘Interim’ job categories. Providing specific Recruitment Pathways according to the exact needs of each hiring manager, assisting them to find the best-fit candidates in a manner that best suits their way of working.
“As a large complex organisation, Hackney utilises agency resource across a diverse range of job categories. Matrix SCM ensures that the Council’s hiring community have access to the highest quality candidates available in the market through tailored supply chains created and managed by our procurement experts.”
Stuart Thorn, Strategic HR Business Partner at Hackney Council.
By partnering with Matrix SCM who are a Neutral Vendor, they get all the added benefits of a supply chain management organisation, helping them to improve their processes and reduce hiring.
