Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is correctly defined as “outsourcing or contracting out select components/processes within the Recruitment Cycle”.
Head Hunters, Recruitment Agencies and HR/Corporate Recruitment Teams typically
outsource the non-consultative or non-core elements within their Recruitment
Process. These may include Internet Research, CV / Resume Screening, Job Board & Internal database searching, Job Posting, CV / Resume Processing and other web based functions.
By outsourcing these functions, Recruiter's are able to dedicate more time to
core-competencies such as Candidate and Hiring Manager interaction and other
high value Consultative activities.
