Recruitment
Processing Outsourcing (RPO) is a little known
but quickly growing avenue for sourcing and retaining
top talent. Like HRO (total Human Resources Outsourcing)
RPO’s assume the responsibility of the HR
function, but specifically as it relates to Recruitment.
Typically an RPO will have a definitive scope
of project varying from becoming the full Recruiting
department to assuming the responsibility for
meeting the hiring objectives of a specific department,
location, or segment of employment.
RPO may include all or
a portion of the following:
| • |
Recruiting analysis,
recommendation and planning |
| • |
Full cycle job
description creation |
| • |
Recruiting Campaign
reviews and recommendations |
| • |
Branding reviews
and recommendations |
| • |
Full cycle Applicant
processing including: |
| |
Recruiting
Sourcing
Screening
Interviewing
Employment Offers
Decline of offers
|
RPO has proven effective in:
| • |
Large
scale recruitment initiatives such as Call
Centers and retail chains which can result
in thousands of hires. |
| • |
Sourcing
for the more specific and difficult to find
talent sectors such as 50 to hundreds of Network
Engineers in multiple locations. |
| • |
The management of a companies entire recruiting
department. |
RPO is a relatively new vehicle
of outsourcing; its uses and success stories are
in the early stages. Analysts predict this rapidly
growing source of Recruitment to become an 80
billion dollar industry by the year 2010.
