You know your business best, so it seems intuitive to think that you should handle hiring activities on your own turf. But when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of the hiring process, do you know where and how to find the people who fit the positions you currently have open? Whether you’re looking for a few top-level executives or several thousand sales people, a recruitment process outsourcing agency (RPO) makes the search easier, faster, and more cost effective than most businesses can on their own.
What Can Recruitment Process Outsourcing Do For You?
Talented people, proven processes, and innovative technology form the foundations of RPO. Each aspect of the hiring process benefits from these three elements to bring you a larger talent pool of qualified candidates to fill your open positions. Why should hire an RPO firm? Consider these five ways a recruitment process outsourcing agency will transform your hiring processes:
- Hire the best and brightest. Whether you’re hiring for entry-level positions or highly sought after talent sectors like IT or healthcare, an RPO agency will seek out the best and brightest talent available and will give them the tools they need to perform their jobs efficiently.
- Source candidates using every relevant strategy. Your RPO consultants will use a variety of techniques including data mining, applicant tracking, social media, networking, referrals, personal contact, and more to find a large pool of qualified candidates to consider for each available position. Rather than waiting for them to come to you, RPO will identify available candidates whether they are actively looking or not.
- Recruit both passive and active candidates. Passive candidates are among the largest untapped source of qualified talent in any given industry. Especially when recruiting in a highly competitive market, seeking out candidates who are not actively job searching may be the best way to find a person with the qualifications you need.
- Utilize technology as a force multiplier. Leading technology gives RPO the edge that enables faster, more scalable solutions at lower cost. A robust technology platform drives every stage of the recruiting process including sourcing, recruiting, interviewing, training, and reporting.
- Deliver transparent reports that provide accountability. By tracking and analyzing key performance indicators, an RPO agency can guarantee not only better, faster results, but also efficient regulatory compliance, proactive diversity recruiting, retention evaluation, and comparative geographical and historical analysis.
Not Your Average Recruiting Agency
Outsourced recruiting comes in many forms. Recruitment process outsourcing is different because it uses a “source first” approach to hiring that seeks out the best and brightest candidates rather than simply seeking to fill a position. You need candidates who will integrate seamlessly into the culture of your company while also delivering the top talent required by the positions. RPO helps you find those candidates, recruit them wherever they are, and bring them on board to become efficient members of your team.
