FSP Delivery Models

Project-Based
For clients requiring functional resourcing support on projects with clearly defined milestones, timelines and deliverables, we provide tailored project-based solutions to meet your specific requirements.

Full Functional Outsourcing
For clients requiring ongoing functional resourcing support, we create and manage dedicated functional teams (e.g., monitoring, data management).

Hybrid-Based
For clients requiring supplemental resourcing within a function, we provide resources who you directly manage the day-to-day operational tasks for, while Actalent handles the line management of those resources.
