LiveHire (LVH:ASX), an Australia-based direct sourcing platform, announced today the signing of a Master Services Agreement with ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions LLC (Tapfin) to offer LiveHire’s direct sourcing solution to Tapfin clients across North America.

Tapfin, a division of ManpowerGroup, provides managed service solutions to global enterprise and super enterprise clients.

“Tapfin’s comprehensive global solutions optimise contingent workforce management and drive performance through people, process and technology,” the company stated.

The Master Service Agreement, while non-exclusive, provides the opportunity for LiveHire to serve as primary partner to offer direct sourcing solutions to Tapfin’s North American clients. The Master Service Agreement is a binding agreement for a perpetual term.

According to LiveHire, the strategic partnership has been agreed on LiveHire’s standard commercial terms. As Tapfin has not yet signed the first client to use the platform, the company said it is unable to quantify the value of the Master Service Agreement. However, the board believes that due to the size of Tapfin, the size of its North American client base, and the process undertaken, this is a significant milestone for the company.”

“We’re thrilled to have completed a competitive process conducted by Tapfin, and to work with the Tapfin team to bring our joint direct sourcing solution to Tapfin’s clients,” says Christy Forest, CEO of LiveHire.
