What is the Vendor Portal?
The Vendor portal of WebCenter will allow you, a subcontractor vendor, to access important information and communicate with the staffing company you are partnered with. This includes having access to accept or decline order requests and submit candidates all in one place.
When we talk about subcontractor vendors we mean:
- 3rd party staffing agencies or other providers that are sending their employees to fill orders with a partnered staffing agency
