Case Study: News Corp achieves compliant, cost-effective contractor management with CXC Global

A continually evolving partnership with News Corp achieving sustained success

News Corp Australia, one of the country’s largest media organisations, needed better control and visibility over a contractor workforce of around 120 people. Before working with CXC Global, the company struggled with compliance, contractor tracking, and cost control, and its payroll system was not suited to managing contractors properly, creating tax and regulatory risk.

CXC Global implemented a contractor recruitment and payrolling solution with News Corp and Hudson RPO, covering engagement, payment, timesheets, expenses, invoicing, compliance, onboarding/offboarding, and contractor care. The partnership delivered $500,000 in first-year savings, improved process efficiency and compliance, and increased direct sourcing to 95%, while giving News Corp full visibility into contractor numbers, locations, and spend.
