VendorDesk
🤝 Vendor Management

Build and manage
your vendor network

Onboard your staffing partners, assign open requirements, track every candidate they submit, and measure who delivers the best results.

Your Agency at the Centre of the Network

VendorDesk is designed for the hub-and-spoke model of modern staffing: your agency (the hub) works with multiple sub-vendors (the spokes), each supplying candidates for your client roles. You control the client relationship and the margins; vendors get a clean portal to submit and track their candidates.

Onboarding a Sub-Vendor

Go to Sub-Vendors → + Add Vendor. Fill in the vendor company name, their primary contact, email, and phone. VendorDesk creates a portal account for them automatically — they receive a login email with their credentials.

1
Add vendor profile
Enter company name, contact details, and agreed pay rate ranges.
2
System sends login credentials
Vendor receives an email with their portal URL, username, and temporary password.
3
Assign requirements
From any open requirement, click "Assign Vendors" and select this vendor. They'll see the role immediately in their portal.
4
Vendor submits candidates
Candidates appear in your pipeline in real time, tagged with the submitting vendor's name.

Assigning Requirements to Vendors

Open any Requirement and click Assign Vendors. You can assign the same requirement to multiple vendors simultaneously — each sees the full JD and submission deadline, but cannot see other vendors' submissions.

🔒
Vendor submissions are siloed by design. Vendor Alpha cannot see Vendor Beta's candidates. Only your team sees the full consolidated pipeline with vendor attribution.

Tracking Vendor Performance

VendorDesk automatically tracks each vendor's submission volume, shortlist-to-submission ratio, and placement rate. Go to Analytics → Vendor Performance to see a ranked leaderboard.

Use this data to prioritise your best-performing vendors and have data-backed conversations about submission quality with underperformers.

Vendor Notifications

VendorDesk keeps your vendors informed without you having to send manual emails. Vendors automatically receive notifications when:

  • A new requirement is assigned to them
  • One of their submitted candidates moves to a new stage
  • A candidate is selected or rejected with feedback
📧
Vendors can configure their own notification preferences in their portal — daily digests, instant alerts, or specific event types only. This reduces noise and keeps your communication professional.
