As industries everywhere acknowledge the impact of digital transformation, globalization, and talent mobility, they’re faced with the challenge of adapting and rethinking talent in new and unconventional ways.

Total Talent Acquisition (TTA) is at the forefront of this shift. Though enthusiasm for the approach has been high for over five years, there hasn’t been much forward movement on it. In fact, less than a quarter of organizations who say Total Talent is a high priority have it in place.

A successful total talent strategy is one that empowers your organization to focus on the value workers provide without focusing on their employment status. A Total Talent Acquisition (TTA) method has a number of distinct advantages over a traditional fractured or siloed approach to recruitment including access to wider candidate pools, cost reductions in labor and organizational tasks, simplified contract negotiations, and shared technologies.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a holistic solution that has proven to be beneficial to organizations across all industries. The growth of the RPO market has come at a time, characterized by massive disruption with organizations shifting their focus to strategically optimize their processes. What makes RPO a strategic solution in today's talent environment? Here, RPO experts weigh in on the main reasons for adopting an RPO solution and the value RPO brings to your organization.

With 2020 just rolling in, experts predict that candidate experience will continue to be one of HR’s top priorities, and for good reason. A positive candidate experience helps companies not only attract more talent, but attract a higher quality of talent. It can expand referrals, increase positive social recruiting connections and improve company reviews, ultimately leading to more resumes. More importantly, candidate experience can have a long-lasting impact on a company’s reputation – good or bad.

Talent acquisition (TA) professionals understand the importance of an effective employee advocacy program (EAP). An effective EAP completes the employment branding and recruitment marketing strategy. TA leaders also understand the importance of employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP says who the organization is as an employer through their employees; while, the employer brand sends out that message to their external talent market.

Let's face it; we all want to work or create a workplace that is amazingly comfortable for us to flourish and effectively produce the best results possible.  

I'm guessing we can also agree that being part of a highly engaged business culture with ethical business practices is essential.  

Maybe we want to take on a role that follows structured policies and procedures for both the employee and employer. Or perhaps just longer days off to relax on the beach. I know, sorry, this isn't about me. 

However, as an organization, though, it will boil down to your employer branding efforts to stand out amongst the competition and help candidates make a decision.

Today, recruitment process outsourcing presents a proven-strategy for attracting and recruiting top talent. Business and talent acquisition leaders must understand the requirements of partnering with an RPO provider to get the most from their investment. Here, top experts explain what you should know about working with an RPO partner.

The way companies recruit has changed dramatically in the last five years. Perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the use of recruitment marketing to find talent, communicate with candidates, and showcase the organization’s culture and brand.

Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) has been around for a while, yet a lot of myths and misconceptions cloud its value. For example, RPO is often confused with other staffing and recruiting solutions. One of the most significant differences is that RPO is consultive and strategic, while staffing is transactional. 

To understand some of the stigma associated with RPO in the marketplace, the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association hosted a panel discussion with top RPO and talent acquisition leaders to shed some light on the topic. This article highlights a few takeaways from their conversation.
