Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services

“Recruitment Process Outsourcing” is a form of business process outsourcing (BPO) where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external service provider. An RPO provider can provide its own or may assume the company's staff, technology, methodologies and reporting. RPO is a partnership between a company with recruiting needs (RPO buyer) and a company with recruiting services (RPO provider) in which the RPO buyer’s brand is being promoted instead of the provider’s.

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.

RPO providers assume ownership of the design and management of the recruitment process and the responsibility of results. RPO is commonly needed when there is a sudden spike in the demand for employees to work on a particular project and increasing the internal HR team in order to meet this temporary demand would be inefficient and costly.

By outsourcing recruitment, companies alleviate their resources of the administrative and transactional duties involved with recruitment, allowing those resources to dedicate their time to other areas of the business.

Benefits of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

1. Reduced Recruiting Costs

This is one of the top reasons & biggest benefit why organizations opt for an RPO solution. Many Organizations tend to expend a lot of money on Headhunters & job boards, or waste a lot of money through high turnover rates. Whereas; with other organizations; time is simply wasted in lengthy hiring processes or outdated technology. An RPO provider can reduce recruiting costs by streamlining your recruiting process and showing you how to find good candidates better and with less time and money.

2. Scalable Recruiting Capacity

Many employers go through a hiring spree for seasonal employees, then an awesome benefit of RPO is having a recruiting process in place that can scale up for the hiring season, and then scale back down at the beginning of the next year. RPO is also great for businesses that are growing rapidly, that may need extra help in scaling their recruiting volume to meet growth.

3. A Consistent and Predictable Recruit-to-Hire Process

Candidates don’t like it if they don’t know where they stand in the recruiting process; this similar problem could also plagues businesses that have multiple entities or departments, where each one could have their own hiring process. RPO can aid in getting everything together and making the recruit-to-hire process consistent and predictable for both parties and across the entire organization.

4. Increased Candidate Quality

Hiring managers know that a great applicant is much more than a combination of experience and education, but also includes personality and former accomplishments. Hiring managers who are hard-pressed for time to fill a position, or have a ton of candidates to go through, may not necessarily take a look at the abilities that determine whether or not the new hire will stick with the position. An RPO solution can get into those abilities while still looking for applicants who have the desired experience and education.

5. Increased Hiring Manager Satisfaction

The increased hiring manager satisfaction comes from many aspects of RPO; they now have a better way to evaluate the success of their efforts. They have more support from executives in the recruiting process; they now aren’t stretched so thin and are better able to do their jobs.

6. Enhanced Employment Brand

The employment brand is in essence the identity of the company as an employer, and when every other facet of the recruiting process is in place and doing well, the employment brand improves. If the hiring managers are satisfied and are working in a consistent recruit-to-hire process, then people who go through that process will only have good things to say about it and the organization as an employer. RPO helps the organization in many more ways that just cutting recruiting costs or filling positions faster. RPO can actually help a business become a better place to work.

How Recruitment Process Outsourcing in different from Traditional Recruitment?

While Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is an industry that emerged from traditional recruiting, there are a few fundamental differences between the two.

Traditional recruitment processes are designed to fill up the empty position within a firm while modern recruitment process outsourcing services tends to do much more than just simply filling up empty positions. Within RPO the concerned vendor takes care of the recruiting process as a whole. It undertakes a number of parameters into question before filling up job vacancies such as technology, turnover rates, scalability and time taken to fill up empty positions.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing understands the need of their clients to its core before going for the headhunting. RPOcompanies tend to work with their clients for a longer period of times wherein they help in improvising the recruitment process as per the changes made in the industry on the global scale.
