We rank the top providers of recruitment process outsourcing in EMEA and APAC based on customer satisfaction surveys.
By The Editors
HRO Today’s Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings are based solely on feedback from buyers of the rated services; the ratings are not based on the opinion of the HRO Today staff. We collect feedback annually through an online survey, which we distribute to buyers directly through our own mailing lists and indirectly through service providers. Once collected, response data for all providers with a statistically significant sample size are loaded into the HRO Today database for analysis.
RPO on Top
New research shows the drivers of RPO are changing as the market matures.
By Nikki Edwards
Fact: The world of work is changing, and so is the world of recruitment. The accelerating pace of technological advancement and the global shortage of talent are probably the two most significant factors driving that change. So too are preferences for a more consumerized and personalized experience and having a social media presence. Alongside are the complexities of working with a multigenerational workforce, an aging workforce, economic and political uncertainty, and the emergence of next-generation industries and jobs.
Enabling a Better Relationship with an RPO Partner
With Kristin Shulman, Head of Digital Marketing and Brand, Allegis Global Solutions
In today’s global economy, five generations are working side by side for the first time in history—each with its own skillsets, communication preferences, and leadership styles. Faced with this increasingly diverse talent pool, immense technological innovation, and the growing expectation of a consumer-like experience, organisations must adopt a flexible, adaptive approach to recruitment or risk getting left behind. Partnering with an RPO firm that provides a consultative approach could be the secret ingredient to succeeding in the war for talent.
Next-level RPO
RPO partnerships are moving beyond the transactional and entering the realm of the strategic.
By Simon Kent
The days of using an RPO provider to simply deal with the grunt work of recruiting people into an organisation are over. Today’s competitive market—both in terms of the employment market where talent is scarcer than ever and the RPO market itself—means providers must demonstrate that they can bring extra value to the organisations with which they are working. Achieving this means becoming a specialist in more than recruitment alone.

CEO’s Letter: To Outsource or Not to Outsource—That is Not the Question
By Elliot H. Clark
When Hamlet contemplates “To be or not to be,” he is actually thinking about suicide, so forgive the title of this column. I am not comparing outsourcing—or not outsourcing—to self-destruction. In fact, I don’t even think outsourcing is a “strategy.” It is a tactical approach to achieve a given set of HR-related tasks or outcomes. That is it. It is not a gut-wrenching test of your philosophical gestalt. It is a big decision to use an external fi rm, but in the modern world of RPO with so many top quality providers, it is an equally big decision to keep recruiting in-house. I have heard of a few big companies that are now working to bring recruiting back in-house. Most of them will fail.
I have seen this movie before. When the unemployment rate drops below the full-employment level, recruiting—and retention, but that is a subject for another day—difficulty rises proportionally. As time to interview and time to fill rise, hiring manager frustrations begin to boil over. The object of their displeasure is the recruiting infrastructure. The talent acquisition leadership and the CHRO come under fire and eventually decide their provider cannot get “the job” done. Then they will make the momentous decision to bring TA back in-house. Welcome to 2005 and 2006! It’s back to the future. The main problem is it largely failed back then. Most of the insourced deals wound up back in the hands of a provider after a few years.
