RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING – WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?
If you’re considering utilizing Recruitment Process Outsourcing to support your hiring process, you may be interested in the key benefits RPO offers, and how those benefits differ from keeping your hiring process in-house.
Here at Mackinnon & Partners, we’ve provided expert RPO services for countless organisations nationwide. Here are some of the Recruitment Process Outsourcing benefits we and our clients have experienced over the years…
RPO – Key Benefits
Improved Quality of Hires
When recruiting for your business, candidate quality should be at the top of your priorities list. Recruitment Process Outsourcing services aim to source, screen and select only the top talent within your industry. RPO providers have access to an extensive network and unique talent pools that allow them to cherry-pick candidates who meet quality requirements across all aspects – from skill set to cultural fit.
RPO providers also work closely with all candidates to complete in-depth screening and assessment processes to ensure they’re the right hire for your business. Not only does this improve the quality of hires, but it also serves to boost satisfaction levels throughout your organisation, as well as new-hire retention rates.
According to a study by the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association, ‘Businesses using RPO services experienced a 50% improvement in new hire retention rates and a 15% increase in hiring manager satisfaction.’
Cost-Efficiency
One of the biggest benefits provided by Recruitment Process Outsourcing is cost-efficiency. By removing the burden of hiring from your in-house team and outsourcing it to a team that can dedicate ample time to sourcing, screening and selection, time-to-hire is reduced, and, in turn, cost-per-hire follows suit.
With RPO services, the hiring process becomes streamlined, efficient and effective, with minimal impact on the rest of the organisation and productivity. Vacancies are also filled quickly, reducing stress on existing staff and ensuring they can focus on core business initiatives, again improving cost-efficiency.
Access to Expertise
Recruitment Process Outsourcing providers are experts in every aspect of the hiring process, meaning their strategy is streamlined and carefully tailored to provide you with the best candidates in the shortest time possible.
Part of their service is to become entirely attuned to your business, allowing them to only source candidates that are best fit for your organisation. They can provide you with valuable, data-driven advice when it comes to selection and will ensure the recruitment process is a positive one for both clients and candidates.
Many RPO providers also specialise in certain industries, making them experts in the specific skills and attributes required to succeed. For example, at Mackinnon & Partners, we specialise in placing candidates in the Renewable Energy, Construction and Manufacturing industries, among others. Our experience in these industries enables us to identify best-fit candidates.
