Salem Managed Services
Who We Are
In 1995, Salem Managed Services emerged as a distinct Salem division to provide vendor management solutions under a new vendor management concept, one based upon vendor inclusion. Salem created a Vendor Management Program that encourages vendor partnership and participation by allowing vendor partners who are meeting the client’s expectations to maintain a solid percentage of the staffing business and with Salem as a partner, offering them the opportunity to continue to grow. Our goal: Many Partners, One TeamSM.
SMS partners with world-class clients in the financial, real estate, government, engineering, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and technology sectors — just to name a few industries. SMS’s track record is one of true excellence. In fact, every SMS program has been successful in meeting — or exceeding — all client-defined and contractual objectives and terms.
Our programs optimally manage our clients’ total contingent workforce. This includes all primary and secondary vendor assignment employees, assignment-to-hire personnel, payrolled personnel, independent contractors, and all peak- and large-project management requirements.
