Do You Really Know What’s Going On in Your Contingent Workforce?

If non-employee labor is part of your workforce strategy (and for most companies, it is), then you likely need a Contingent Workforce Assessment. Not a someday project. Not a “we’ll get to it next fiscal year” initiative—a now priority.

Why? Because hidden inside every program are inefficiencies, risks, and spending leaks just waiting to show up on the CFO’s desk—or worse, the front page of the news.

What a Contingent Workforce Assessment Actually Does

A proper assessment isn’t just another report gathering dust on SharePoint. It’s a strategic review designed to:

• Expose spend leakage (like unmanaged freelancers or rogue Statements of Work).

• Evaluate supplier performance against rate cards, SLAs, and actual delivery.

• Document compliance risks related to independent contractor classification and global equivalents.

• Uncover inefficiencies in onboarding, offboarding, and requisition processes.

• Capture stakeholder experience—because if hiring managers and non-employees are frustrated, the program isn’t working as intended.

  
  

In short, it tells you where your program is delivering value… and where it’s quietly (or loudly) failing.

What Tracz Consulting Brings

At Tracz Consulting, we’ve spent years helping companies stop treating their contingent workforce like the Wild West. Our subject matter experts bring perspective, structure, and (when needed) a bit of tough love.

Here’s what we do:

• Facilitate alignment sessions with HR, Procurement, Legal, and high-volume users to establish goals and identify areas of pain.

• Conduct a comprehensive audit of AP files, contracts, supplier onboarding, and MSP scorecards to identify inefficiencies and compliance gaps.

• Leverage data and technology (VMS, Extended Workforce Tools, or whatever flavor you’re running) to uncover trends and risks.

• Build a business case that doesn’t just say “fix this,” but actually prioritizes: replace your MSP, fix your classification issues, plug your spend leakage, or all of the above.

• Stick around—because delivering recommendations without supporting implementation is like handing someone IKEA instructions and walking away. We provide ongoing advisory support, additional SMEs, and process reinforcement so progress doesn’t stall.

Why It Matters

Ignoring your contingent workforce is expensive. Not “forgot-to-file-expense-receipts” expensive—more like “lawsuit, audit, reputational-hit” expensive. Misclassifying Independent Contractors or letting a misclassified Statement of Work slide can wipe out savings faster than a procurement team can say “we got a good deal.”

And inefficiencies? Every delay in onboarding, every off-book supplier, every unnecessary workaround is time and money you’re not getting back.

That’s why companies call Tracz Consulting. We don’t just find the gaps; we help you close them.

The Punchline

Because let’s be honest—if one more manager sneaks in their “favorite solutions provider” on a Statement of Work to get a single project manager at three times the staff augmentation rate, you’re going to need more than Tylenol. (Some folks call it acetaminophen. Others—well, let’s say some Presidents have called it things no medical professional would back up.)
