Scaling Recruitment: Employer Brand, Campus Programs, and Agency Partnerships
Preferred Supplier List (PSL) Governance
A PSL governance policy is the single rulebook that explains when and how recruitment agencies are added, evaluated, and removed from your organization's preferred partner list.
"I need consistent quality from agencies, but I don't want dozens of relationships to manage or pay for the wrong hires."
PSL governance defines objective entry criteria, performance metrics, review cadence, commercial terms, and removal triggers so TA teams use a small, high-performing set of trusted agency partners. It reduces cost, speeds hiring, and protects employer brand by ensuring partners meet your standards.
