Key Findings & Highlights:
Organizations seek improved quality of hire and speed to hire as well as an ability to support entry into emerging markets. While cost reduction remains important to buyers, more important factors are taking over from cost as the main driver of RPO. Accordingly, RPO is the fastest growing area within HR outsourcing.
RPO providers are morphing services to encompass wider talent challenges, including internal hires and workforce planning. To address the talent shortages and spikes in demand, RPO vendors focus on candidate attraction and increasing employment brand capability and talent pool services. With social networks becoming more sophisticated, a positive candidate experience delivered by service-oriented teams is more important than ever. Vendors are also creating sourcing-only services for organizations that wish to retain internal recruiters.
At the same time, organizations are increasingly seeking blended workforce services, combining support for both permanent and temporary hiring.
Acquisitions continue, in part driven by the need to support buyers' increasingly global recruiting requirements, with the incidence of global and multi-country RPO deals continuing to increase.
