Master Vendor Service

At SMD, we understand that every aspect of the recruitment process matters and impacts on success, from speed of response, the message your organisation delivers to potential employees and temporary workers, professional handling of the interview and offer process, maintaining control over the costs associated with hiring and efficient management of risk and post-contract procedures. It is for these reasons that we offer a Master Vendor service provision for high volume technical and trades recruitment (temporary, permanent or both), whereby we take command of managing the full scope of recruitment supply to your business.

We act as the go-between for end-to-end program management, using custom state-of-the-art, processes, toolkits, and dashboards. With 100% success in transitioning resources, our goal is to give you a seamless and easy experience.
