HROA's RPO Alliance Releases Recruitment Assessment Guide
Industry Thought Leaders Collaborate to Help Organizations Understand Business Benefits of Better Recruitment
| Source: HROA
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - June 4, 2008) - The RPO Alliance, a Special Interest Group
of the Human Resources Outsourcing Association (HROA), has published the
first edition of its Recruitment Assessment Guide. A member-driven
organization, HROA's RPO Alliance promotes the advancement of recruitment
process outsourcing through better business tools and practices, research
and peer-to-peer connections. The Guide was developed through the
collaborative efforts of the alliance and reflects the best practices of
industry thought leaders such as EquaTerra, Headway, Kelly Outsourcing and
Consulting Group, People Science, PeopleScout, Pinstripe, Spherion,
TalentRetriever and TPI.
Christine Nichlos of Tinton Falls, N.J.-based People Science, lead
contributor to the guide, commented, "We designed the guide to help
organizations evaluate their current recruiting processes. It's a
thought-provoking self examination to identify the best recruitment
solution and determine whether outsourcing all or part of the recruiting
process is right for the respective organization."
The 32-page guide covers business-critical aspects of the recruitment
process, such as planning; marketing/advertising and branding; related
activities; candidate experience; the use of technology; total base case
and cost-of-hire; metrics; and assessment findings. Written as an
easy-to-use workbook, some sections have multiple answers to consider and,
at the end of each section, the user can determine an overall score.
Nichlos concluded, "Recruitment process outsourcing is a strategic business
decision that has the potential for considerable positive impact. This
assessment was designed by experts to be a valuable component in assisting
companies as they determine not only their internal needs but the value of
RPO to their business."
The Recruitment Assessment Guide is available at no charge. To learn more
