From sourcing and screening to vendor management and media planning, the RPO parade keeps marching.
By The Editors
Our report on top RPO deals of 2012 was based on research performed by the editorial staff of HRO Today. In some but not all instances, RPO providers themselves provided the information. Data was also obtained from the editors’ market knowledge of bidding processes and their awards. For each listing, we researched the services and the hiring volumes and verified the information through the client or other sources. We have not listed hiring volumes or the division of exempt and non-exempt because of confidentiality agreements. The listings vary from program sizes that involve 500 hires to more than 10,000 hires. Volume is not the only benchmark, however, as we considered the breadth of services and the percentage of the talent pool involved in hard-to-fill categories. The deals are listed in alphabetical order by client.
