Process 
Outsourcing
Recruitment Process Outsourcing Defined 
• A form of business process outsourcing 
where an employer transfers all or part of its 
recruitment processes to an external 
provider 
• Recruitment Process Outsourcing providers 
can manage the entire recruiting/hiring 
process, or can manage one or two aspects 
of the process, essentially serving as an 
extension of the company’s human 
resources department (Source RPOA)
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (This is what it is not) 
• Recruitment Process Outsourcing is not remote 
recruiting or giving your recruiting responsibilities 
away to someone else 
• It is not a one-size-fits-all solution 
• It is not an alternative to in-house recruiters or human 
resource professionals 
• An RPO shouldn’t be considered a one-time fix or a 
way to offload your recruiting problems. It is a 
commitment to improving your recruiting processes 
and metrics (source RPOA)

etc.)

needs on your timetable and minimize your recruiting costs and business 
headaches

Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
Aligning Recruitment Process 
Outsourcing(RPO) to the Corporate 
Strategy
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Aligning RPO to the Corporate Strategy & Values) 
Here are some key items to consider when seeking 
alignment: 
• Do your decision makers understand and appreciate the value of 
talent? 
• It is critical that employees and candidates alike can see and feel that they are 
considered important. Its not enough just to say it in order to attract the best talent. 
In order to be aligned it must be true to the core. 
• Is there an atmosphere of mutual respect and knowledge of the 
process between all participants? 
• In other words, does everyone know and perform their role in a successful and 
collective manner (candidates, recruiters, hiring managers and executives)? Without 
real collaboration there is no real alignment.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Aligning RPO to the Corporate Strategy & Values) 
• Is your organization recognized as an “employer of choice,” and 
does it have a reputation as a great place to work? 
• The top candidates will respond to career opportunities with companies who are 
well respected and well managed. Whatever you say you are as a company must 
reflect in your recruiting. 
• Is your process written down and documented? 
• To fully optimize your recruiting process, you must write it down so it’s clear to all 
and fully outlines the expectations. Writing down the process will ensure that 
everyone is on the same page and removes unnecessary steps. This will also help 
establish alignment with mission or value statements.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Aligning RPO to the Corporate Strategy & Values) 
• Is your recruiting staff and those that come in first contact with 
candidates well-trained and are they strong representatives of 
your firm? 
• Job seekers can detect any disconnects between what's posted on your wall and 
actual behavior. The alignment should be readily evident with each and every 
person that comes in contact with the candidate. 
• The same test applies to senior management and executives. Are 
they in agreement with the process and do they fully support the 
effort? 
• In most recruiting processes, meeting senior staff is the final step and possibly the 
most important. 
• Protect your brand. 
• You have worked hard to build a highly competitive and successful enterprise, so 
go that extra mile to preserve your good name and make your brand sparkle.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Aligning RPO to the Corporate Strategy & Values) 
• Does the mission and vision statement of the organization reflect 
the actions taken while executing the recruiting strategy? 
• The clock starts ticking from the first phone call and does not stop until the 
selected candidate shows up for work. And even at that point there has to be 
consistency through the orientation and months down the road. 
• Is there a practice of benchmarking and tracking the performance 
of employees at each position? 
• This type of information should be made clear to the candidates and explained how 
that impacts the entire company. When the selected candidate understands and 
buys into the strategy it is proof that the RPO and corporate strategy are genuinely 
aligned.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Aligning RPO to the Corporate Strategy & Values) 
This is an initial statement that candidates hear from one of the 
nation's top companies during the recruitment process. 
• Our fast-paced, high-energy, team-oriented work environment 
strives to understand the needs of our customers, and to 
challenge, engage and develop every employee's unique talents 
against the unwavering pursuit of customer satisfaction. 
• We promote and reward business performance and results, 
successful engagement of employees, and behavior consistent with 
our company values. Best Buy also recognizes its responsibilities to 
the community and the personal lives of its employees, and seeks 
to support employees' commitment to their lives outside of work.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
Next Steps - Identifying where 
you are in the process and where 
you need to go
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Where are you and what are next steps) 
• Look around you: Do you have enough workers? Are you having to 
approve more and more overtime, and, more importantly, how is the 
current workforce reacting to the additional stresses? Have you seen signs 
of fatigue and burnout? 
• Is your industry extremely competitive, and do you find yourself in a 
talent-driven market? If this is the case, then you must move quickly to 
build separation and get to the talent first. 
• Simply put, do you have a recruiting strategy, and is it meeting your 
needs? In today’s ever-changing business environment you must be 
strategic in all facets of your operation and recruiting should be a priority.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing 
(Where are you and what are the next steps) 
• Access the quality of candidates that you have been receiving and gauge 
the satisfaction of your managers to see if they are satisfied with the 
quality and quantity of the candidate pool. While its important to have 
people traffic, it’s equally important to maintain the quality. 
• Are you using everyone's time wisely, or are your managers experiencing 
recruitment fatigue? This could backfire and keep them from performing 
their own jobs while they look for additional staff. Is it time to provide 
them more resources to facilitate the process and eliminate time-killing 
administrative tasks?
