Vendor Relations

In 1998, MDI recognized changes in the staffing industry and created a Vendor Coordinator position. The Vendor Coordinator has two primary responsibilities...

• Establish alliances with various staff-augmentation firms that can assist us in finding qualified resources.
• Identify and create partnerships with staff-augmentation firms whose client base complements that of MDI.

In 1999, this function has helped us deliver higher quality service to our clients, and we anticipate future growth in this strategic area.

Our subcontractor alliances are based on our clients' business needs, and the vendors are chosen for their ability to add value by supplementing MDI's resources. Also, as MDI is an MWBE, it is our official policy that every practical opportunity is given to other MWBE organizations.

The most important factor in the success of a partnering relationship is the ability of the firms to work together and trust each other. We use the following criteria to select our subcontracted suppliers...

• Willingness to understand our clients' business needs
• Ethical approach to conducting business
• Thorough candidate screening process
• Agreement to a client focused measurement process
• Commitment to MDI as a partner
• Preferential consideration is given to NACCB (National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses) member firms

If you are interested in establishing a subcontractor alliance with MDI, please send an email to partnership@mdicareers.com with the following information...
