Unfolding RPO!

Most people make the common mistake of misinterpreting the word “offshoring” to mean the same as “outsourcing”. The best move is always to shift your clients account to a safe overseas location after you have completed an ‘x’ amount of recruiting cycles. If carried out in a good way, it can save time as well as improve productivity, many times over. But, on the other hand, a mistake can lead to disaster and eventually to the loss of business. Recruitment Process Outsourcing is when any provider fulfills a company’s internal recruitment functions for all of its jobs or a portion of them. Recruitment Process Outsourcing providers help by managing the whole recruiting and hiring process right from job profiling to the on-boarding of the new recruits, as well as reporting, staff, technology and method. There is a distinct difference between the process carried out in RPO and the process carried out in other types of staffing. In Recruitment Process Outsourcing, the service provider is the kingpin of the process, while in most other staffing types; the service provider is just a part of a process that is controlled by the organization which buys their services.
