Outsourcing Your Hiring Process

Does your organization want to easily access large talent pools? Do you want to overcome persistent staffing challenges? Outsourcing your recruitment process may be the way to go. 

Outsourcing recruitment means partnering with a third party, like a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider, to handle all or part of your hiring process. It connects you to experts who dedicate 100% of their time to talent acquisition. This can bring many benefits to your organization, such as reducing time-to-fill and increasing the quality of hires.

What Services Are Included When Outsourcing Your Hiring Process?

Recruitment services can vary as RPO providers offer different models. That said, the following services are typically included:

• Implementation: During implementation, an RPO provider learns about your hiring needs and business objectives so they can tailor their services accordingly. A good RPO partner will also align their strategies with your company's culture, values, and mission to help you hire the right match.
• Marketing: Generally, an RPO provider can manage recruitment-related marketing, such as writing compelling job postings. They may also help you revise your employer brand to appeal to the ideal candidates.
• Sourcing: RPO providers typically handle sourcing, which involves identifying and engaging qualified talent through various channels, like social media.
• Screening: From reviewing resumes to conducting assessments, an RPO partner simplifies the entire candidate screening process.
• Interviewing: An RPO partner can schedule and hold interviews for you. They recruit under your brand, helping candidates feel connected to your company immediately.
• Hiring and onboarding support: An experienced RPO provider can help you select the best candidate based on their recommendations. Additionally, they help candidates through the onboarding process by streamlining administrative tasks and quickly responding to questions.

What Are the Benefits of Outsourced Recruiting?

By harnessing expertise, technology, and dedication to recruitment, an RPO partner can provide many advantages, including:

• Decreased recruitment costs: Outsourcing recruitment can save you the cost of building an internal team and adopting recruitment technology. Since an RPO partner also helps you hire better candidates faster, you can save on expenses related to turnover.
• Reduced time-to-fill: RPO providers are equipped to build robust talent pipelines, empowering them to fill roles quickly. 
• Scalability to match hiring needs: Partnering with an RPO allows you to easily scale hiring resources up or down to meet your needs. It's a cost-effective solution to handling peak hiring periods.
• Improved quality of hire: A good RPO partner understands how to identify, attract, and engage talented candidates who align with your organization's core values. Value-aligned hiring can increase retention.

When you outsource recruitment, you also free up your internal talent acquisition (TA) team to focus on other business initiatives, helping spur organizational growth.

How Does Outsourcing Recruitment Services Impact Employer Brand?

An employer brand emphasizes a company's culture, values, work environment, and mission. It impacts how job seekers perceive your company and can influence their decision to apply for a position.

Developing an employer brand that reflects your company's characteristics is essential to attracting the right candidates. An RPO partner can implement strategies to enhance your employer brand to captivate your target audience and position your company as an employer of choice.

How Do You Measure the Effectiveness of Outsourcing Recruiting?

RPO providers should hold themselves accountable for their performance. They can do this by reporting the results of their actions, making data-informed decisions, and tweaking their processes as needed to reach hiring goals. By establishing, tracking, and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs), like time-to-fill and cost-per-hire, your RPO partner can prove their impact.

An RPO may also help your internal hiring team measure and track custom KPIs. That way, your TA team can identify areas in the hiring process worth improving.
