Why more UK recruitment agencies aspire to become an MSP

The UK recruitment market is changing. Traditional agency supply models, once built around speed, scale and relationships, are now under pressure from clients demanding more control, better visibility, and tighter compliance across their contingent workforce. Direct sourcing by in house Talent Attraction teams (TA) is reducing the number of roles available for agencies to fill. In response, a growing number of recruitment agencies are evolving their service model to take a more strategic and central role in how talent is sourced, onboarded, and managed.
