What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?

Outsourcing is the management and/or day-to-day execution of a business function by a third party service provider. Outsourcing can be provided on or off premises, in the same country or in a separate country.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), then takes outsourcing one more step to a specific department, in this case HR or personnel. RPO, also known as Employment Process Outsourcing is that subset of BPO which is very new, few people have heard of it, and only a handful offers it. BSR IT Search is a helping drive the market and is a leader in the Recruitment Process Outsourcing industry.

In most organizations, the recruitment function is either assigned to various people in HR or is comprised of a dedicated group within HR. It is a critical function, which includes sourcing, assessment, interviewing, and sometimes new-hire administration and orientation. An effective RPO arrangement involves standardized recruiting processes and platforms for workforce planning, applicant tracking, and workflow. By specializing, an RPO firm can invest in the most efficient technology and processes. They also reap significant scale advantages in relationships with vendors in staffing search, online recruiting, recruitment marketing, background check and profiling, to name a few.
