In today’s world of work, contingent staffing has become a function of both Human Resources and Procurement, reflecting the shift to cost optimization and global competition. Companies have turned to third-party managed service providers for help. Unfortunately, most run-of-the-mill providers have proven they simply aren’t up to the job, because they fail to understand one vital reality — you procure things — you hire people.

Randstad Managed Service (RMS) has been putting people to work for almost half a century. No one better understands how the relationship of demand, supply and information management determines efficient utilization of contingent labor and how critically it can impact your costs, risks and expectations.

RMS, headquartered in Woburn Massachusetts, specializes in consulting, managing and acquiring contract labor for organizations in the areas of administration, information technology, light industrial, accounting, education, legal, clinical, life sciences, hospitality, sales & marketing, human resources, and call centers. With our international scope and extensive geographical coverage, RMS is an ideal partner for large to mid-size organizations.

RMS is focusing its vast resources on being the first complete workforce based managed services provider, with the scope and perspective to maximize this vital process and address the interests of all stakeholders equally. RMS is a stand-alone business for Randstad, acting as a vendor neutral, single-point-of-contact provider, backed by an extraordinary track record, an integrated business approach and state-of-the-art technology. The biggest difference of all is that RMS approaches this as a staffing-focused process, not merely a software-based procurement system. Collectively, RMS and its international affiliates manage nearly $1 billion in spend on behalf of more than 250 clients. RMS maintains a network of nearly a thousand suppliers.

One thing that never changes about RMS is our commitment to understanding our clients’ business and our talent’s aspirations — the needs, goals and challenges of all parties involved. Randstad culture is based on the values of “Know, Serve, Trust” – and with the addition of RMS to the Randstad family, these values have never been more relevant than now.
