FAQs

How does managed service provider work differ from recruitment process outsourcing?

Managed service provider work covers the contingent workforce, people who are not employees but still work for the organisation, including multiple supplier relationships, billing, payroll and compliance. Recruitment process outsourcing covers hiring employees. The two can be blended into a total talent acquisition model where one partner manages both.

Can an organisation keep its internal talent team and still use Solve by Talent?

Yes. Recruitment process outsourcing can span all recruitment, or be limited to particular locations, time periods or role types, or target specific process steps alongside an existing function. A managed service provider arrangement commonly operates as an extension of the in-house team.

What is Solve by Talent's relationship to Talent International?

Solve is a division of Talent International. It launched in 2018 as Talent Solutions and was renamed Solve by Talent in 2024, with the same people and expertise.
