Transformative Recruitment Practices in the Hyper-Connected Hyper-Cynical World

Before we talk about how to transform your business through best recruitment practices, let’s begin by defining recruitment process outsourcing (RPO). RPO is a form of business process outsourcing by which an employer outsources or transfers all or part of its recruitment activities to an external service provider.

The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association defines RPO as a provider act[ing] as a company’s internal recruitment function for a portion or all of its jobs. RPO providers manage the entire recruiting/hiring process from job profiling through the onboarding of the new hire, including staff, technology, methodology, and reporting. A properly managed RPO will improve a company’s time to hire, increase the quality of the candidate pool, provide verifiable metrics, reduce cost, and improve governmental compliance.
