Ways That Recruitment Process Outsourcing is Changing in Scope and Complexity

by Hary Bottka, Director ― CHRO Services, TPI

Despite the continued global recession, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) continues to be a successful area for outsourcing. TPI has seen renewed demand for RPO services as companies wrestle with the volatile recruitment market and the need for a more global workforce while also supplementing their recruiting organizations.

In the past year we have worked with a number of clients (buyers) on larger, more complex RPO engagements. Those engaging in larger RPO request for proposal (RFP) projects are doing substantially more planning, with emphasis on clear and specific goals to ensure that the final outcome is successful. HR specialists involved in complex, global RFP projects should expect to encounter these TPI Top 5 aspects of today’s service provider evaluation and selection process:

1.	Increased complexity of requirements
2.	Larger client teams
3.	Less definition of the final outcome
4.	New fee models
5.	Scope variations

Achieving success in a global RPO selection process requires patience and the flexibility to respond to ever-more-complex needs. Accordingly, the approach to selecting the right service provider partner has become more intricate and critical. TPI’s HR outsourcing experts can share with you real-world case studies to help you discover and evaluate the best RPO opportunities for your company.
