RPO Market Growth
• Recruitment Process Outsourcing hit the radar
just over 10 years ago.
• Stayed in infancy for a handful of years and in
2007 hit the emerging rapid growth phase.
• While the economy turned downward in
2008, RPO growth slowed but did not decline.
• According to a 2012 Everest Research Report,
the RPO market is $1.4 billion U.S. Annualized
spend with a growth rate of >25%.

What’s not to love?
• Increase Efficiency - Easy to submit applications made the
process overwhelming and unmanageable for existing HR
teams.
• Cost Savings – RPO provided efficiency
• Cost Management with Scalability.
• Strategic Value – it’s all we do so our knowledge of best
practices and the ability to cross pollinate those in non-
competing verticals…
• Metrics – RPO firms are quickly able to help companies gain
insight into specific real-time reports that help also drive
cost savings and efficiency.
• So many steps (and the continuing evolution of each) in the
recruiting process, maintaining a level of on-staff expertise
can be challenge.

RPOA definition of RPO
• RPO definition by RPOA: "Recruitment Process Outsourcing is
a form of business process outsourcing (BPO) where an
employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to
an external service provider. An RPO provider can provide its
own or may assume the company’s staff, technology,
methodologies and reporting. In all cases, RPO differs greatly
from providers such as staffing companies and contingent/
retained search providers in that it assumes ownership of the
design and management of the recruitment process and the
responsibility of results." link

Technology
• RPO firm is plugged into your ATS
• In many cases, RPO will integrate other tools
to sourcing candidates (job posting automation, data
warehouse of existing candidates, sourcing platforms etc.)
• Reports are generated through the
combination of platforms.
• Real-time portals/dashboards provided to
client.
Candidate Experience
• RPO firms and team members are trained
specifically on the companies they serve so
they can act and represent your organization.
• In some cases, the RPO provider is a silent
partner. When on the phone with candidates,
they act as XYZ company.
• Candidate experience improves because
attention to detail is part of the RPO delivery.
What qualities should IWhat qualities should I
look for in my partner?look for in my partner?
Selecting an RPO Partner
• Identify your weaknesses/pain points
• Identify your objectives: project expansion,
recruiting structure reconfiguration, cost
reduction, etc.
• Unsure? Many RPO firms offer consulting
services that can help you evaluate your
current structure and process and provide
recommendations.
Key Considerations
• Experience
– Not just # of years in service, look at the caliber of
recruiters on staff. Utilize LinkedIn to gain insight.
– Geographic scope/Languages
• Size of Organization (bigger not always better)
• Privately owned vs. publicly owned.
• Sourcing and Research Experience
– social media, job boards, networking, etc.
– geographic expertise, hard-to-fill expertise
Key Considerations (cont.)
• Implementation Process and Timeline
• Learn about Team Structure -
– Governance and Issue Escalation
– Call Center vs. dedicated team or combination.
– On-site recruiters/staff or offsite
Date before you get married.
• Select a project or division to use as a test
with the RPO firm.
• Ask if they will do this without a long-term
commitment (a trial phase)
• Ask the potential firm if they will create a
sourcing plan for one of your positions to give
you insight into the process.
Sign a pre-nup
• Service Level Agreements (SLA) – set mutually agreed
upon expectations. If the requirements aren’t met
there are fees at risk.
– Time to Fill
– Time to present qualified candidates
– Interview to hire ratio
• Key Performance Indicators (KPI) – Similar to SLA but
do not have fees at risk. Used to indicate when a
problem may exist (before an SLA is impacted).
– Example: TTF SLA is 60 days. A KPI might be
Green/Yellow/Red indicator at 30, 40 and 50 days.
