Third Party Staffing Vendors

Northwestern has Preferred Staffing Vendors that assist with providing 3rd party temps/contractors to fill a variety of roles. These vendors have been extensively vetted by HR Talent Acquisition in partnership with Purchasing and Strategic Sourcing, to ensure they meet the University criteria for providing placement services. Preferred pricing has also been established with these vendors. We strongly encourage departments and schools to use our Preferred Staffing Vendors.
