Procurement with the agency portal
With the agency portal in peoplexs you can posts vacancies to your suppliers and let them propose candidates (CVs) in return. Especially for those of you who use a large number of agencies, the agency portal has undergone a major overhaul, allowing you to do procurement with peoplexs. It supports the requisition of candidates as well as call for offer / call for tender and let you group relevant preferred suppliers based on the particular assignment you need to fullfil.
I will try to give a short preview of the possibilities, but this will not by far cover all the new possibilities the agency portal offers. We should actually rename it to procurement portal but you know it best as the agency portal so lets wait with that.
First the most important new option in the setup of the agency portal. You can make seperate portals for different type of suppliers. Like recruitment agencies, temp agencies, consultancy firms. This way you can finetune workflow and communication types depending on this. Next, you can group your suppliers on any charasteristics you might need, like competences, pricelevels, etc. Example: when looking for IT competences only agencies that deliver these services are relevant:
Once you have setup one or more agency portals, you can then use the portal to requisition information for a call for offer or call for tender, or to give them assignments. We continue the example with an assignment. The recruiter can see for each assignment which agencies could be relevant, make a selection, and send the assignment to the appropiate suppliers:
The suppliers receive the assignment on their portal and can suggest candidates together with pricing and other information. If needed questions and answer can be forwarded from the suppliers to the recruiter and vise versa:
After gathering all the offers and negotiating, the recuiter can make a decision and prepare a contract with the supplier that won the assignment. See also the previous post about using templates for contracts.
This feature is part of a series of changes to improve peoplexs for hiring temp workers. We developed it in cooperation with our customer Prorail. It is available on the Labs server for you to have a look.
