Contingent Workforce Operations & Data Specialist
I’m recruiting for a global technology organisation seeking a hands-on Contingent Workforce Operations & Data Specialist. You will support the Contingent Workforce Lead during an important business transition, helping ensure that contractor and non-employee workforce information is accurate, complete and properly managed.
This is not a recruitment delivery role, and specialist M&A experience is not required. The focus is on contingent workforce data, worker classifications, operational coordination and reliable day-to-day support.
The Offer:
- Eight-month contract
- Salary up to £75,000 pa
- Hybrid with three days onsite each week in Reading, Berkshire
What You’ll Be Doing
- Gather, review and validate contingent worker information.
- Maintain accurate Excel trackers and reconcile data from different sources.
- Distinguish between employees, contingent workers, independent contractors and other engagement types.
- Check worker records, classifications, tenure, rates, suppliers and contract dates.
- Coordinate with the MSP, staffing suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve missing or inaccurate information.
- Support the movement of workers into the appropriate HR or vendor-management systems.
- Update worker records and monitor compliance documents, renewals and onboarding requirements.
- Help coordinate background checks, worker orientations and operational setup.
- Maintain weekly status reports, issue logs and clear audit-ready records.
- Escalate data, compliance or classification risks to the Contingent Workforce Lead.
