Provider Search

You Need to Hire a Service Provider
Managing employee benefit programs requires the services of many different providers.  As an HR professional, it is your responsibility to engage quality, cost-effective service providers to ensure the success of your programs.  From time to time, it may be necessary to change providers or to do a cost comparison of your existing providers.  An objective, comparative analysis of record keepers, trustees, actuaries, or insurance companies would give you the information you need to retain the best providers for your plans.

Managing the Details
Atéssa's step-by-step process takes the burden of shopping for the right service provider off your plate.  We take care of all the details, including:

• Plan development
• RFP creation
• Proposal review
• Comparison of qualified candidates
• Comprehensive analysis and report
• Initial interviews
• Assistance for a smooth transition

Based on your organization's specific objectives and criteria, we develop a plan for analyzing and comparing the types of service providers you may need.  A detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) is created and sent to qualified candidates.  Once the proposals are received, we would review them and prepare a comprehensive report, ranking the candidates based on their responses.  When you have narrowed down your preferences, we would conduct the intial interviews, screening the candidates prior to meeting with you.  After your final interviews and service provider selection, we would assist with a smooth transition.

Because we are an independent firm with no affiliation to other companies, we are able to provide an objective, comparative analysis of service providers.  Our search process saves you time and ensures that you get the best providers for your benefits programs.
