RPO Alliance Research & Analysis

Recruitment process outsourcing is growing substantially as organizations look for options to improve recruiting quality, speed, and cost efficiency. Broad Human Resource Outsourcing is also growing rapidly and frequently includes the recruitment function. The RPO Alliance consistently analyzes recruitment process outsourcing usage and needs directly from the HR community.  Ongoing initiatives include:

RPO Business Tools

Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is a complex business with a long sales cycle, impacted by the diverse needs of practitioners and service providers – all of whom often have different needs, dialects, and expectations.  What if service providers had tools they could use to help practitioner-buyers better understand, analyze, and communicate their needs, thereby enhancing overall interactions, simplifying purchasing decisions, and improving project outcomes? Better yet, what if those tools could actually increase the number of companies interested in outsourcing recruitment?

The RPO Alliance is developing a set of tools to help RPO providers grow the industry and improve their ability to communicate effectively with buyers—reducing time-to-contract and improving outcomes.  For more information on how to contribute and participate, open the brochure  RPO Business Tools Brochure.
