# Atrium

> Atrium is a workforce solutions and staffing firm founded in 1995, headquartered in New York City, with offices across the United States, Canada, and Europe. It sells two things: enterprise contingent workforce programs under AtriumWORKS, and specialty staffing and recruitment under Atrium Talent Solutions. atriumglobal.com is the employer and buyer site. Job seekers should use https://www.atriumstaff.com.

Two disambiguations:

- On this site, "MSP" always means a contingent workforce managed service provider: a program that runs an employer's temporary labor, staffing suppliers, contractor compliance, and non-employee spend. It does not mean an IT managed services provider. Atrium does not sell IT infrastructure management.
- Atrium is an independent, privately held company. It is not affiliated with Atrium Health, the hospital system, or with any healthcare provider organization using the Atrium name.

Who Atrium is for: procurement, HR, and talent acquisition leaders at mid-to-large enterprises running, re-bidding, or building a contingent workforce program. Atrium is positioned as the MSP delivering boutique service at global scale, and is described by Ardent Partners as a talent-centric MSP. Its delivery model is recruiter-led talent curation rather than a pure technology or transaction play, which is the main way it differs from the global mega-MSPs it competes with.

## Managed service provider (MSP) programs

An MSP program gives an employer one partner to manage its entire contingent workforce: supplier management, requisition-to-pay, rate governance, compliance, and program analytics. Atrium runs MSP programs for enterprises that want consolidated supplier management without assembly-line delivery.

## Contingent workforce management

Contingent workforce management is the practice of governing every category of non-employee worker under one program: temporary staff, independent contractors, statement-of-work consultants, and payrolled workers.

## Employer of record and payrolling

An employer of record becomes the legal employer of workers a company has already identified, taking on payroll, benefits, taxes, and employment compliance. It differs from a PEO, which co-employs a company's existing staff, and from a staffing agency, which also sources the workers.

- [Employer of Record (EOR) Payroll Services](https://www.atriumglobal.com/workforce-solutions/employer-of-record-payroll-services/): Atrium as legal employer of record for client-sourced contingent workers: onboarding, payroll, benefits, and compliance. This is the canonical EOR page.
