Recruitment process outsourcing is much more than a service or a solution. It's a partnership, a relationship that needs to work from the beginning, or else the partnership won't work and RPO as a solution will be doomed to fail for your organization. To prevent failure, this week's hiring and recruiting news roundup covers the importance of managing these relationships, as well as other relevant industry trends.
Hiring Quality Stinks vs What Management Thinks - The Seamless Workforce - Management tends to think that since positions are getting filled, then quality of hire must be good too. After all, there isn't any data to suggest otherwise, and you're hoping that your HR department isn't filling these positions with bad hires. But, this is an assumption that needs to change. Quality of hire is a huge problem for organizations, and simply assuming that it's not a problem for you could mean increased costs and decreased productivity that are happening without your knowledge.
3 Points to Remember for a Healthy RPO Relationship - RPO Hub - As an RPO buyer, you think of recruiting as a problem to pass on to someone else, or as strictly a cost problem. If that's your perspective, then not only will RPO not work for you, but you'll have a hard time finding a provider to work with you. Fit is critical to an RPO relationship, and that perspective means that you won't be a good fit for most providers. As a buyer, RPO should be treated as a partnership, one that will address deeper recruiting process and organizational issues than finding people for open positions while reducing the costs.
Panduit Case Study: How Panduit's Hiring was Transformed Through Recruitment Process Outsourcing- Accolo - Panduit is an electrical and network solutions firm headquartered in the United States with offices all over the world. The company wanted to reduce the time it took to fill open positions, which would ultimately reduce the company's recruiting overhead. They also wanted to improve the job satisfaction of their hiring managers, and decided an RPO solution would work within their budget while accomplishing what they need. This case study shows how an RPO solution improved Panduit's recruiting process while also reducing costs and time-to-hire.
Beyond the State of the Union: What Does it Mean for Employers? - TLNT - President Obama said many things last night during his speech that would directly impact employers. This includes his commitment to raise the minimum wage, the administration's programs to improve training programs, and incentives to hire veterans and the long-term unemployed. The minimum wage promise is the most important, since Obama said that he was going to use an Executive Order to raise the wage for federal employees to $10.10.
