Major human resources solutions from a minority-owned company.

Project Background

One of largest Engineering and Architecture companies in the U.S. faced a challenge in meeting diversity spend levels required by their contracts due to their MSP (Managed Service Provider) not being a certified minority-owned company. To address this issue, the client needed to engage a certified minority-owned to partner with an MSP and subcontract payroll services capable of integrating existing time and expense data and onboarding processes for a seamless transition of existing payrolled workers and new hires.

Services & Solutions

As a result of our services and solutions, the client achieved the desired increase in diversity spend. Zempleo successfully fulfilled and onboarded requisitions for all requisitioned skill sets, leading to contract compliance and additional opportunities that have diversity spend levels requirements. Additionally, the time required to onboard open positions was reduced, and a high retention rate was maintained.

Outcome & Results

In summary, Zempleo played a crucial role in helping the client meet their contractual requirements:

• Increased Diversity Spend: Zempleo helped the client achieve the desired increase in diversity spend, ensuring compliance with contractual requirements and fostering a more inclusive business environment.
• Streamlined Hiring Process: By fulfilling and onboarding requisitions for all required skill sets, Zempleo reduced the time required to onboard open positions. This efficiency likely contributed to cost savings and improved overall productivity.
• Additional Opportunities: Meeting diversity spend levels not only ensures compliance but also opens doors to additional opportunities. By achieving these requirements, the client likely gained access to more contracts and projects, further enhancing their business prospects.

Overall, Zempleo’s role was crucial in helping the client navigate the complexities of diversity spend requirements, hiring processes, and talent retention. This successful program highlights the importance of strategic partnerships to meet diverse spend contractual obligations and expand business opportunities.

Project Background

A leading educational company that provides K-12 contracted instructional services to schools in the U.S. faced a challenge in meeting diversity spending requirements related to their customer (or city/state government) contracts that necessitated a certain level of spending with minority-owned businesses. However, the client itself was not a certified minority-owned company.

Services & Solutions

To address this issue and meet the diversity spend requirements, the client needed to partner with a certified minority-owned company to subcontract payroll services. Zempleo successfully applied for state vendor certification in specific states where Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) status was required. Zempleo partnered with the client to fulfill the required payroll services subcontracting needs. This partnership allowed for the seamless onboarding of educational instructors and family support and professional development staff, ensuring that they were ready in time for school openings as per the school district’s predetermined schedules.

Outcome & Results

As a result of the successful collaboration between the client and Zempleo in addressing this diversity spend challenge, the client has sought further support from Zempleo to manage additional school districts in multiple states. This demonstrates that the partnership was effective and led to an expansion of the client’s ability to support additional state school districts and private education systems.

Project Background

An electricity and natural gas supply company engaged our consulting services to provide a structured Human Resource and Talent Acquisition infrastructure to support large and ongoing project initiatives. The company offers clean, carbon-free energy services and required a formal process for identifying and onboarding talent for a variety of projects with a swift start date.

Services & Solutions

Our team created a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to streamline all their staffing needs, created analytics and reporting metrics, and provided weekly check-ins throughout all engagements. As the primary service provider, Zempleo managed all vendors and invoicing specific to the program and created a neutral vendor platform to standardize rates and consolidating billing.

Outcome & Results

Within less than one year of the implementation of the program, we were able to identify and onboard over 100 placements that were specific to the company’s needs. Time sensitive projects exceeded deadlines and provided the workforce necessary to complete a multitude of projects ahead of schedule. Our established relationships with our vendor partners, as well as our ability to quickly establish relationships with new/niche vendor partners, allowed us to provide our client with streamlined communication, invoicing, updates and analytics into the entirety of their program.

Project Background

An electric services client needed an auxiliary group of support staff employees to complete their annual repainting of gas meters in residential neighborhoods. This statewide initiative required approximately 100 contingent staff to be onboarded by the same day for a project with a duration of 2.5 months.

Services & Solutions

This project was previously handled by the client directly, but coordinating the onboarding proved to be very time consuming for their internal teams. The client looked to Zempleo to support their efforts. The project kicked off with only 25 painters but because of our ability to provide onboarding services for large groups in a timely manner, the project ultimately grew to include 100+ meter painters, and is still in operation. Each year our HR Ops team orientates, screens, onboards and puts all painters to work by the client’s required start date.

Outcome & Results

Due to the success of this project, we were able to successfully negotiate new rates specifically for this group. We have seen this project grow in numbers and length of projects year over year.

Project Background

Our client was making changes to their temporary staffing program and internal contracting processes. As a result, there were several vendors that had individual resources that our client needed but could not implement on a temp basis, due to contracting delays.

Services & Solutions

The MSP and client requested to partner with a vendor to whom they could subcontract their services, corporation-to-corporation. Our existing agreement as their payrolling vendor allowed the process to proceed quicker than the contract was able to move directly with the client. We successfully negotiated our agreement with the vendor, bringing them onboard within the requested timeframe.

Outcome & Results

Because of the success of this sub-contracting partnership and our ability to achieve the contract negotiations quickly, the client and MSP have requested we establish relationships with three additional sub-vendors. Each continues to make successful placements with the client.
