A recent initiative of ours, Vendor Management Services or VMS, is a handy model for staff acquisition at a low resource-spend. Organizations spend a lot of their time and resources on recruitment activities like sourcing CVs, short-listing candidates, interviewing, carrying out reference checks and so on.

As the VMS provider or Master Vendor, we manage the process of recruitment by deploying our own resources at a fee charged for managing the whole project. The VMS model provides clients a lot of flexibility as services of multiple vendors can be obtained and managed by the Master Vendor. In addition, the Master Vendor can also be one of the service providers along with the others.

An advantage of VMS is that as specialist recruiters, we carry out the recruitments, get the best deal in terms of service fees and candidates, and enjoy the flexibility to separate the project once the recruitment drive is complete.

Currently we have a VMS sign-up with Advantage Global Services, a Morgan Stanley company. Our core employees operate from the facility of Advantage Global Services and manage their recruitment service providers. Advantage Global Services works with 4 recruitment service providers, including Ma Foi. So Ma Foi is both Master Vendor and Sub-vendor.
