Recruitment process Outsourcing
Recruitment Process Outsourcing or "RPO" is now a common term within the HR community and the trend to outsource non-core but vital functions is here to stay. At Howard James Recruitment we’re not fans of the term “RPO”. We think the phrase has connotations of pushing away and losing control of an important HR and business function. We believe in the opposite.
Partnering with an enthusiastic and highly focused specialist such as Howard James Recruitment gives organisations a competitive edge in a volatile and increasingly tight candidate market.
This is why we prefer the term Resourcing Partner. Unlike others within the RPO sector, our approach to recruitment outsourcing is to provide you with a bespoke, tailored and unique partnership service which suits your culture and needs. You will have a dedicated resourcing team which becomes an integral part of your organisation, representing you in the best possible way and communicating with candidates and hiring managers as your company’s talent acquisition department.
