Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), if executed correctly, gives organizations the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively hire talented individuals to meet their headcount targets. In addition, the whole recruitment process is streamlined, from initial candidate sourcing and attraction through to offering and on-boarding, to support the acquisition of talent.

Key to the success of any Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) arrangement is an understanding of the 'as is' status of a company's current recruitment approach and processes. It is not advisable for a company with ineffective and non delivering processes/systems to simply outsource recruitment as they will, inevitably, be handing over a problem and not able to capitalize on the benefits. As such, CPH Consulting performs an initial 'discovery project' to effectively understand and document an organization's current approach, issues and bottlenecks across the whole of their recruitment and selection process. CPH then uses the 'discovery' information for the development of its onsite recruitment planning and service provision for each client.

The benefits that Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) can provide make it an attractive proposition not just for large organizations making high volumes of hires across a number of regions, but also for smaller niche enterprises, who can benefit from cost reductions even when making as few as 20 hires per annum.

If delivered correctly, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) can provide numerous benefits, including:

• Decreased 'time to fill' vacancies
• Improving the interview to offer ratio
• Freeing up valuable HR and hiring manager time
• Significantly reducing the 'cost per hire'
• Reducing first year employee attrition*
• Ensuring success in expanding into new geographies or markets
• Increasing a company's 'Employer of Choice' branding
• Providing a positive experience for all candidates who go through a selection process

*CPH has successfully demonstrated that it can drastically reduce first year employee attrition for its clients – CPH ensures that talented individuals are successfully headhunted, hired and committed to a long term career with its clients
