The strategies I recommend are data-driven and backed by 25 years of experience managing contingent workforce programs for some of the world’s largest organizations, such as Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Proctor & Gamble, Pepsico, Nestle, Sanofi and Tesla. On average, my clients see savings of 10-20% in contingent labor spend per year. For example, a recent client saved $1.26M in the first year by optimizing vendor contracts and markups. Plus, my guarantee ensures you have a clear pathway to achieve at least 5% annual savings—or I’ll refund my fee in full, with no questions asked

Your team is likely focused on day-to-day operations, which can make it challenging to step back and identify inefficiencies or high-impact opportunities for cost savings. As an external expert, I bring a fresh, unbiased perspective, plus proven frameworks to uncover areas where vendors may be underperforming, markups are inflated, or program structure could be optimized. I don’t replace your team—I empower them with tools, insights, and processes to maximize their impact and take your contingent workforce strategy to the next level.

Not at all. My approach is designed to minimize disruption and integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows. I start with a detailed analysis of your spend and vendors to identify low-hanging fruit—quick wins that don’t require major operational changes. Any recommended adjustments, such as vendor optimization or SLA implementation, are phased in strategically and collaboratively, ensuring your operations remain smooth while improvements are made.

It’s possible you’re close to best-in-class benchmarks, but even in well-managed programs, I often uncover hidden opportunities for improvement. For instance, are you leveraging payroll vendors to reduce unnecessary markup costs? Are your SLAs driving measurable accountability from vendors? Are you taking advantage of volume rebates? If, after my analysis, I find there are no significant improvements to be made, I’ll tell you upfront and refund my fee in full —saving you time and money.

Think of this as an investment, not a cost. For example, if your contingent labor spend is $5M annually, achieving even a 2% reduction translates to $100K in savings—multiple times the cost of this service. I’ll also provide you with clear, detailed reporting on cost savings, efficiency improvements, and vendor performance enhancements to share with stakeholders, so they can see the measurable ROI. Remember, there’s no risk: If you don’t have a clear path to a saving of at least 5% by leveraging this service, I’ll refund our fee in full, with no questions asked.

You’ll see initial results within the first 30-60 days. For example, we start by identifying quick wins, such as renegotiating vendor markups or optimizing your payroll strategy, which can deliver immediate savings. Long-term gains, like vendor consolidation and SLA implementation, are typically achieved within the first 3 months.

A VMS is a fantastic tool for tracking contingent workforce activity, but it’s only as good as the strategy behind it. I specialize in analyzing data and processes to identify inefficiencies, benchmark your spend against the market, and ensure you’re maximizing the system’s potential. For example, I’ve helped clients uncover misaligned vendor markups, underutilized cost-saving opportunities, and areas where compliance risks were hiding—all issues that even a robust VMS won’t catch without expert oversight.

Vendor relationships are critical, and my approach is built on collaboration rather than conflict. Our recommendations focus on working closely with your vendors to align on fair pricing, performance goals, and clear expectations. In fact, most vendors appreciate the added structure because it sets them up for success and ensures a mutually beneficial partnership. For example, after implementing SLA/KPI frameworks, one client’s vendor community reported higher satisfaction due to the clear guidelines provided.

I handle the heavy lifting so your team doesn’t have to. The service includes:

• A comprehensive analysis of your contingent labor spend and vendor performance.

• Tailored recommendations to optimize vendors, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.

• Support for 3 months, including guidance on contract negotiations and SLA development.

Your team’s role will primarily involve sharing data and information. Beyond that, I take care of the details to minimize resource strain.

This framework is industry-agnostic and has been successfully applied across diverse sectors like finance, manufacturing, technology, and healthcare. Whether you manage professional labor, light industrial workers or SOW resources, I tailor my approach to fit your unique workforce needs. For example, I’ve helped financial institutions optimize their global contingent workforce programs and manufacturers streamline staffing for high-volume seasonal demands—both with outstanding results. If you’re unsure, we can start with a discovery call to discuss your specific situation before committing.
