  • E-BOOK: Impact Areas of Recruitment Process Outsourcing

What is RPO? What can it do for your business? When does it make sense to engage an RPO provider? These are excellent questions to ask when exploring how recruitment process outsourcing works.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a business outsources all or parts of its hiring processes to a recruitment firm, whether in targeted support or an end-to-end solution. The demand for RPO is skyrocketing with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5% from 2020 to 2027. And the reason behind this is simple.

RPO is an effective business strategy that helps businesses overcome time, productivity, and profitability obstacles. It not only lowers costs, but it creates flexibility, scalability, seamless compliance, and global reach.

How does Recruitment Process Outsourcing work?

Consistency is key with RPO, and it is this consistency through documented practices that give companies the edge they need to recruit top talent. This is not to say RPO is not customized, though. It is! No matter how you engage with RPO, you will find there are six consistent areas of your business that RPO will impact.

The Six Impact Areas of Recruiting Process Outsourcing

For deeper insight into how RPO can positively impact your business, you need to look at six specific areas, as outlined in Our latest e-book, What You Need to Know Before You RPO: A Near Beginner's Guide to Recruitment Process Outsourcing.

These areas include:

  • Change Management - RPO can help redefine the talent acquisition function from a cost center to change driver.
  • Cost Containment - RPO introduces both process consistency and price predictability.
  • Implementation - A targeted recruiting and sourcing strategy may actually lower the quantity of applicants, but it almost certainly will boost the quality.
  • Employment Brand - Put your best foot forward with an employment brand that welcomes applicants from the get-go.
  • Technology Adoption - RPO providers are experts in recruiting and HR technology, so you don’t have to be.
  • Data Analytics - To develop relevant and proactive sourcing strategies, RPO recruiters rely on accurate data on labor market demographics, skills, availability, and pay rates.
