Seven files that turn a vendor into a managed vendor
The benchmarks to know the market, the scorecard to know your vendors, and the paper to hold both.

Markup Benchmark Reference
The staffing markup landscape with every figure sourced and dated: the 25% to 75% survey ranges by segment, the decomposition of what a markup pays for, the fees around it, and a challenge-a-quote walkthrough.
Agency Scorecard and Markup Workbook
Score each agency on fill rate, submittal quality, time to submit, conversion rate, and markup versus benchmark, with a quarterly review view. Opens on a worked example. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.
Agency Partner Agreement and Rules of Engagement
The editable agreement: submittal and interview rules, background and screening gates, replacement and cancellation rights, conversion terms, and the markup transparency clause, with a counsel-review instruction. Opens in Word or Google Docs.
Contingent Workforce Policy Template
The internal policy: how requisitions flow, who approves, the tenure-cap and break-in-service practice, and the hand-off to classification review for anyone off the agency payroll.
The method in the order a vendor reset runs
Learn the market, measure the vendors, then renegotiate from the paper. Most buyers do it backwards, which is why the markup never moves.
Know the market
The benchmark reference decomposes the bill rate so you can see burden, program costs, overhead, and margin instead of one opaque number.
Score your vendors
The scorecard turns fill rate, quality, speed, conversion, and markup into a quarterly grade per agency, computed from entries you already have.
Fix the terms
The partner agreement and rules of engagement put submittals, screening, replacements, and markup transparency in writing, with counsel review where marked.
Govern the program
The policy template sets how requisitions flow internally, so the discipline survives the person who built it.
Built to move the markup that can move
The kit does not pretend agencies are gouging you. It decomposes the bill rate plainly, then gives you the instruments that move the part that can move.
