LAUNCH TALENT SOLUTIONS
Workforce solutions that give organisations greater visibility, control and flexibility across how they hire, engage and manage talent.
Our Talent Solutions experts help organisations of all sizes with varying HR and talent structures to build the workforce capability they need to deliver their priorities, with solutions shaped around their operating environment, workforce needs and business goals.
We support organisations seeking greater control over contingent workforce arrangements, more scalable recruitment delivery, efficient large-scale hiring, reliable contractor management and clearer workforce intelligence.
Build the Workforce Capability Your Business Needs
Organisations need access to the right skills, the ability to respond when hiring demand changes and clear information to support workforce decisions.
As requirements evolve, different parts of hiring and workforce management can place greater pressure on internal capability, processes and oversight. This might involve scaling to support recruitment needs. Workforce complexity can build quickly as hiring volumes increase, the contingent workforce grows, supplier networks expand, and operating models evolve.
Organisations need to understand who is engaged, where costs and risks are emerging, whether suppliers are performing, how efficiently hiring is progressing and where future talent capability will come from.
We provide the structure, expertise and delivery capability to help organisations manage these requirements more effectively.
Our Talent & Workforce Solutions
Managed Service Provider (MSP)
When contingent workers are engaged across different roles, teams or suppliers, visibility and control can become harder to maintain across suppliers, rates, compliance, tenure and workforce spend.
Our MSP programs create a more coordinated way to manage contingent labour and recruitment suppliers, bringing workforce data, supplier performance, governance, compliance and commercial oversight into a centralised operating model.
This gives workforce leaders better visibility into who is engaged, where spend is sitting, whether rates remain competitive and consistently applied, and where pay parity or supplier performance may require attention. It also provides a stronger basis for managing supplier relationships, contractor lifecycle decisions and compliance across the workforce.
An MSP can support: supplier governance and relationship management, contractor oversight, workforce visibility, compliance, rate and commercial control, reporting and contingent workforce administration.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
RPO gives organisations scalable recruitment capability when hiring demand, delivery performance, or internal capacity requires a different level of support. It can also provide a complete Talent Acquisition capability for organisations that do not have an internal recruitment function.
Launch Talent Solutions can take responsibility for a defined hiring project, selected stages of the recruitment process or the complete recruitment function, working as an embedded extension of the client’s team where appropriate. Support can include sourcing, screening, recruitment marketing, employer branding, reporting, onboarding and recruitment strategy, along with EVP development, process optimisation, talent advisory and consultation on broader workforce solutions.
This gives organisations the flexibility to match recruitment capability to their needs while improving consistency, candidate experience and visibility over hiring performance.
An RPO can support: complete outsourced TA functions, short-term, project-based or ongoing recruitment needs, sourcing, screening, recruitment delivery, employer branding, EVP development, recruitment marketing, onboarding, reporting, process optimisation, talent advisory and talent acquisition strategy.
Campaign & Volume Hiring
Large-scale hiring depends on the ability to move significant numbers of candidates through attraction, assessment and onboarding without losing visibility, consistency or quality along the way.
Launch Talent Solutions designs and delivers recruitment programs tailored to the hiring volume, locations, role requirements, and operational deadlines involved.
A coordinated campaign approach helps maintain recruitment pace, candidate communication, and assessment standards. Consistent processes and timely communication support better-quality hiring decisions and a stronger candidate experience, while giving organisations clearer visibility into progress, bottlenecks, and mobilisation against workforce targets.
Volume hiring can support: project mobilisation, operational growth, large-scale technical hiring programs, capability uplift, contact centres, new site or location launches and other time-sensitive workforce requirements.
Payroll Management
Managing a contractor workforce creates ongoing administrative and compliance requirements across payroll, timesheets, invoicing, onboarding and worker records.
Launch Talent Solutions provides a structured payroll management service that helps keep these processes accurate, consistent and easier to oversee throughout the contractor lifecycle.
The service can reduce internal administration while providing a reliable framework for managing contractor payments, engagement records and associated compliance requirements.
Payroll management can support: contractor payroll, timesheets, invoicing, onboarding, workforce administration and compliance.
Talent Advisory
Good workforce decisions depend on understanding both the organisation's capability requirements and the market available to meet them.
Launch Talent Solutions uses labour market data, workforce intelligence, and talent expertise to help organisations assess availability, capability, remuneration, market conditions, and future workforce requirements.
This gives leaders a stronger evidence base for decisions around hiring strategy, workforce planning, talent availability and future capability before significant time or investment is committed.
Talent Advisory can support: labour-market insights, talent mapping, workforce forecasting, salary benchmarking, workforce planning, recruitment capability, candidate experience and talent strategy.

Launch Talent Solutions FAQs
What does Launch Talent Solutions do?
Launch Talent Solutions helps organisations improve how they hire, engage, manage and plan their workforce. Our services include Managed Service Provider programs, Recruitment Process Outsourcing, volume and campaign hiring, payroll management and talent advisory.
What is a Managed Service Provider in recruitment?
A Managed Service Provider, or MSP, provides a coordinated model for managing an organisation's contingent workforce and recruitment suppliers.
Depending on the program, this can include workforce visibility, supplier governance, commercial oversight, compliance, reporting and contractor administration.
What is the difference between MSP and RPO?
MSP is primarily focused on contingent workforce management and the suppliers that support it. RPO is focused on permanent recruitment and can manage part or all of an organisation's hiring process.
Some organisations use both where permanent and contingent workforce requirements need to be managed within a broader workforce model.
How many contractors do you need before using an MSP?
There is no fixed number of contractors an organisation must have before an MSP becomes worthwhile. The need is usually shaped by how difficult the workforce is to oversee across teams, locations, suppliers, rates, compliance requirements and internal processes.
An MSP may add value when managing the contingent workforce is creating significant administration, workforce information is difficult to consolidate, multiple recruitment suppliers need oversight, or leaders lack a reliable view of contractor spend, tenure, rates and compliance. For a smaller organisation, a focused or tailored contingent workforce solution may be more appropriate than a large enterprise program.
How can an MSP improve contingent workforce governance?
An MSP can create a more consistent view of workers, suppliers, spend, rates, tenure, compliance and workforce activity.
This gives Procurement, HR, Talent Acquisition, and workforce leaders better information to identify exceptions, assess supplier performance, and make decisions across the contingent workforce.
Can Launch Talent Solutions manage high-volume recruitment?
Yes. Volume & Campaign Hiring is designed for organisations that need to recruit significant numbers of people within a defined timeframe.
Programs can be structured around the attraction, assessment, recruitment, reporting, and mobilisation requirements for operational growth, projects, new locations, and other large-scale workforce needs.
When should a business outsource its recruitment?
Recruitment outsourcing may be useful when hiring demand exceeds internal capacity, recruitment performance needs to improve, or the organisation does not have the specialist Talent Acquisition capability required to deliver its hiring plans.
The appropriate model depends on the requirement. Recruitment Process Outsourcing can support part or all of the permanent recruitment function, while Campaign and Volume Hiring can provide focused delivery for a defined period, project or hiring target. Launch supports solutions that can be scaled around the organisation’s recruitment volume, internal capability and business priorities.
Can payroll management be used without an MSP?
Yes. Payroll Management can be used as a standalone service where an organisation needs support managing contractor payroll and administration. It can also form part of a broader contingent workforce solution.
What does Talent Advisory include?
Talent Advisory can include workforce planning, labour market insights, talent mapping, workforce forecasting, salary benchmarking, recruitment capability reviews, candidate experience, and broader talent strategy.
How does Launch Talent Solutions work with the wider Launch Group?
Launch Talent Solutions leads the design and delivery of its workforce solutions, with access to specialist capability across Launch Group where it adds value.
This can support RPO and Volume & Campaign Hiring through broader recruitment expertise, established candidate networks and specialist market knowledge. Talent Advisory can also draw on market insight across Launch Group, while MSP programs may benefit from additional sourcing or recruitment capability where required.
