Day-to-day operating brief

What Vendor Manager (Supplier) work looks like in practice

A recruitment Vendor Manager oversees agencies and other talent suppliers used by an employer, MSP or RPO programme. The role manages onboarding, contracts, rate cards, requisition distribution, performance, audits and corrective action while protecting fair treatment and sensitive client or candidate data. Terms should identify supplier categories, countries, systems, contract and spend authority, gifts and conflicts, service measures and escalation for compliance failures. Preferred relationships cannot override documented distribution, due diligence or worker safeguards. Supplier reviews should distinguish isolated placement failures from recurring control weaknesses and from client-caused delay. Comparable definitions, documented evidence and proportionate action help protect both programme integrity and fair supplier treatment.
