Abstract: A computer server talent management system facilitates management of temporary staff procurement and administration. The server provides a network based implementation of an improved process that allows workplace managers to initiate the procurement of temporary staff in a familiar manner, such as by calling, emailing or faxing the vendor. The Vendor then uses an interface provided by the server to generate a purchase order based on a workplace company's specific template. The purchase order is then sent to the workplace manager, who uses interfaces provided by the server to approve the purchase order in accordance with rules enforced by the server.
