Navigating the Terrain: Understanding Key Concepts
Before we embark on our journey, let's ensure we all speak the same language. In the realm of contingent workforce management, several vital terms reign supreme:
- Extended Workforce Technology (EWT): A relatively new term in the contingent workforce space, EWT is slowly replacing the previous VMS term and is meant to encompass a wide array of technologies designed to manage non-employee labor effectively. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of workforce management platforms, offering everything from services procurement and statement of work management to advanced analytics and business intelligence.
- Vendor Management System (VMS): A cornerstone of contingent workforce management, VMS platforms streamline procuring and managing a flexible workforce. VMS platforms are the central hub for contingent workforce-related tasks, from onboarding freelancers to tracking project milestones and invoices.
- Freelancer Management System (FMS): As the gig economy continues to flourish, businesses increasingly turn to FMS platforms to manage independent contractors efficiently. These cloud-based solutions empower organizations to identify qualified freelancers, automate onboarding processes, and verify skills and credentials – all from a single, intuitive platform.
- Talent Marketplace: In today's fast-paced business environment, finding the right talent at the right time can be daunting. That's where talent marketplaces come into play. Driven by artificial intelligence and implemented internally by HR and talent management departments, these digital platforms aim to match talent to opportunities based on skills, interests, and preferences.
