In a year of downsizing, a handful of employers still turned to outsourcing for its talent needs.
by HROT Staff
The RPO Deals of 2008 was based on research performed by the editorial staff of HRO Today. In some but not all instances, the information was provided by the RPO provider. Data was also obtained from our 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 programs that involve 500 hires to 15,000 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 alphabetically by client.
