SKILL AND SPEED TAILOR-MADE FOR SUCCESS – THE AIM OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING

The RPO Alliance defines Recruitment Process Outsourcing as “a form of business process outsourcing where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external service provider”. In the world of outsourced labor and goods, Recruitment Process Outsourcing might well be considered as the elite category – assuming command of the recruitment program of the client company. Recruitment Process Outsourcing differs from contract services in the sense that it controls the entire process of recruitment without any interference from the parent company. It consists of consultants and experts who not only take care of the entire hierarchy of hiring but also the processes of training the individuals for better adaptability with the company. In today’s world where speed and skill have become of the utmost importance – Recruitment Process Outsourcing has become advantageous to the company who can with great cost effectiveness find the right talent for its repertoire.

This process which began in the Silicon Valley has now become a global phenomenon. In nowhere it has made such an impact as it has in India. Placement Agencies in India have adapted this concept into their fold. With the wealth of IT talent that India boasts these agencies are fast developing as a force to be reckoned with. They profile the company needs and then design their system of recruitment accordingly. A search in Google will result in more than a thousand hits which only speak of the demands made of this specialized category. However one has to be careful to choose the right as flexible laws have resulted in companies looking for the quickest road to success. Global or national, quality and speed, cost effectiveness and specialization – this phenomenon keeps in mind the goals of the company and while doing that make their clients’ quest for success their own.
