Structure One
(Tier 1 Staffing Firm; No Automation Tool)

All staffing procurement is coordinated via a staffing agency known as the "Prime" or exclusive Tier 1 supplier. The selected staffing firm becomes the conduit to receive and distribute job requisitions to as many approved Tier 2 suppliers as needed to ensure that the positions are filled with the right candidate in a timely manner. The Tier 1 staffing firm is responsible for gathering the submitted resumes for further screening and makes recommendations on candidates. In addition, the Tier 1 firm coordinates all accounting and administrative issues.
