We will manage multiple qualified and approved staffing suppliers to accomplish this goal. Our staffing suppliers are competing for your business. This competitive model enables our customers to experience the greatest economy of scale available in the market while filling their orders faster and more efficiently.
On-Site Representation for all Contingent
Labor (Single Point of Contact)
Our on-site account manager will represent DSI as the focal point for all orders, questions, and issues related to the VMS program. As your staffing partner our on-site representative will serve as your medium for contingent labor procurement by qualifying each order, coordinating the candidates presented to the hiring manager and ultimately ensuring each new consultant is processed in accordance with your site’s procedures before starting the job.
Electronic Time and Reporting System
Our state of the art software, Temp Works™, is used for all front office CRM tracking of orders and candidates. Supervisors are given live access to review, approve and schedule interviews for all candidates. They also have access to all open order status with real time data. The electronic timecard entry module, WebCenter™, is ideal for all contractors and supervisors to submit and approve time via individual secured access. Email confirmation notices are also generated to all parties throughout the process, ensuring constant communication. Our Customers also love the customized reporting capability enabling them to generate the management reporting accountability they deserve on demand.
Flexible Billing
As part of our VMS Program, customers can customize their billing to meet the needs of each business unit. We have the flexibility to generate individual invoices by consultant or consolidate by department, supervisor, work order or many other combinations. Time and date stamp approval is generated on all invoices to ensure timely payments.
Established Proven Network of Suppliers
DSI will review, screen and recommend a network of suppliers specific to your company’s industry. This process can eliminate several non-performing suppliers while limiting the total number of suppliers to only those with the industry cross sections necessary to fill your orders and leverage your economies of scale. Suppliers are evaluated every quarter for performance and compliance.
1099 Screening, Compliance and Classification
Proper classification of 1099 contractors is a vital component to any contingent labor program. DSI will screen and classify each contractor for proper classification. Misclassification can generate thousands of dollars in taxes, fines and penalties. We audit our suppliers quarterly to ensure they are in compliance to avoid such liability. Screening results are presented quarterly to each customer for internal tracking.
Co-Employment Reporting
Tracking co-employment is a critical component for any contingent labor program. The DSI contingent labor hours and work duration are available in real time reporting through our electronic time system, TempWorks ™
Security Screening and Background Investigations
DSI can enhance your hiring process by ensuring compliance with your security and background screening procedures for all contingent labor. This additional service is at no additional cost to our customers in the VMS program.
