What is True RPO
It's a proactive strategy, not a reactive tactic
|
The law firm of Bierce & Kenerson, P.C., specialists in
outsourcing, describes outsourcing as "the transfer or delegation to an
external service provider of the operation and day-to-day management of
a business process." If we adjust that definition for RPO, the
definition of RPO would be "the transfer or delegation to an external
service provider of the operation and day-to-day management of the
recruitment process." Hyrian is one of only a handful of
companies that provides a true RPO service.
To qualify as a true RPO provider, a company must have taken on the
majority of recruitment for a significant company — enough to truly
claim to be a "provider of the operation and day-to-day management of
the recruitment process".
Because RPO has become a trendy term, many staffing companies and
similar organizations use it to describe their services. Close
examination, however, will likely reveal that the majority of these
companies do not fit the RPO concept.
If you are speaking with RPO companies about taking over your hiring,
be sure to ask them the history of their business and understand what
viewpoint they bring to the table. Is their goal to fill an
immediate need or to serve as a long-term solution? Are they focused on
selling candidates from a database, or on providing a centralized,
dedicated recruitment process? Do they offer the benefits of both
technological and personalized approaches, or do they require you to
work within a technology-centric, low-touch framework? Also, ask for
client references to ensure that your recruitment function doesn't
become their laboratory in which to test a newly developed but unproven
delivery model.
