MBS, a dedicated business unit within the Manpower group of companies, specializes in the delivery of customized employment strategies and outcome-based solutions. Through its world-leading RPO offering, MBS manages any part or all of a client's permanent recruiting and hiring processes, from job profiling to on-boarding, globally or in a single location. The MSP and RPO offerings provide specialty expertise in contingent workforce management and broader administrative functions, respectively. MSP services include overall program management, reporting and tracking, supplier selection and management, order distribution and often consolidated billing.
