The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association's mission is to “educate the market about Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), incorporate common metrics and comparative information as defined by staffing.org, develop and enforce certifications, and promote RPO benefits. We recognize that RPO is a unique industry requiring a common set of requirements and standards”.
How is RPOA Educating the Market?
By Transforming the RPOA website into a “hub”: a place where RPO buyers can find resources to help them with recruitment process outsourcing; and a place for RPOA members to demonstrate thought-leadership and lead the industry.
