Hi
Can anyone share a format of a manpower service agreement with a recruitment agency wherein some employees of the agency are working in the company premises on a contractual basis.
Thanks in advance

Dear Preeti,
Before you rely a standard draft for manpower service agreement, just to point a few important points:
1. Strategy: the business is full of activities and action, get strategies in place before you draft involving scope of activities in your business.
2. Huge/Massive network: both in regards to clients (business development & client relationship) and candidates and quality you are looking out for.
3. Start preparing for the candidate database even before you get any mandates from clients.
4. Technology solutions, systems and processes: you need to synchronise technology solutions with your internal processes to keep the environment updated in the ever changing dynamics in the business.
5. Manpower with knowledge: get people who have experience in the operations part of the business. It is not only recruitment part now, it includes payroll, billing, funding, insurance and much more.
Lastly, be prepared that you might have people on bench at times.
Keep also in mind and be ready with immediate cash flows for emergency periods or either with new client’s contracts/business.
Above all, allow time to make things happen for the business to evolve.
Few more may also be kept in mind to meet the future challenges to make the said agreement full proof:
1. Quantum of cash flow
2. network
3. massive candidate database
4. consultants willing to work long hours relentlessly
5. software for payroll and management
6. insurance cover for the temps
7. people in the team with industry knowledge
other than that-the usual, computr, internet, phone, sales driven people, coffee machine and bingo! you're in business. :)
Finally, dispute clause and arbitration/conciliation clause, and as well, unambiguous jurisdictional aspect may also be inserted.
Trust this would suffice.
