The pressure is on today’s business leaders to develop a strategic approach to the management of talent inside organisations.
Reducing staffing overheads, optimising current talent or utilising alternative staffing options are just some of the drivers pushing organisations to explore the possibility of outsourcing recruitment to an outside company.
DEFINITION; RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING (RPO)
RPO is a partnership between a company with recruiting needs and a company that provide recruiting services.
RPO is defined as a form of business process outsourcing where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external provider. Recruitment Process Outsourcing providers can manage the entire recruiting/hiring process, or can manage one or two aspects of the process, essentially serving as an extension of the company’s human resources department*.
This definition shows that RPO services are not outsourcing in the traditional sense - as working with an RPO provider is much more consultative and customisable than normal recruiting.
RPO assumes ownership of the design and management of the recruitment process and the responsibility of results and scope and scale exists regarding the range of solution possibilities, including but not limited to: Recruitment Process Outsourcing, Recruitment Projects, Contingent Workforce Solutions.
Each of these represents a different amount of cost, risk, and potential reward for your business.
