We’re looking for a knowledgeable and solutions-focused Contingent Workforce Specialist to strengthen the way BSI engages and manages its global contingent workforce. Reporting to the Head of Talent Acquisition, Global Assurance, this UK-based role will act as the central point of expertise for contingent workforce governance, helping hiring managers navigate engagement options while ensuring policy, legal, tax and organisational requirements are applied consistently. Working across People, Procurement, Finance, Legal, Tax and business leadership teams, you’ll improve workforce visibility, reduce risk and help embed a sustainable, consistent approach to contingent workforce management across BSI.

- Manage contingent worker verification, referencing and minimum screening requirements, maintaining clear governance records and audit evidence.
- Oversee the end-to-end contingent worker lifecycle from requisition through to offboarding, while supporting hiring managers to complete their allocated process steps.
- Guide hiring managers on engagement routes, approvals, extensions, workforce transitions and end-of-assignment activities.
- Partner with Tax, Legal and Finance colleagues on cross-border working arrangements, including employment tax, withholding tax and permanent establishment considerations.
- Act as BSI’s subject matter expert for contingent workforce management, building trusted relationships and improving adoption through clear guidance, education and communications.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
