Selling the market value of a strategic talent acquisition partnership is a no-brainer: Getting the right talent to the right place at the right time is a always a winning strategy, is a major goal for labor management specialists, and is a proven value-add to the organization. If this is such a no-brainer, then why are organizations still initially reluctant to equally consider RPO as an initial option to recruiting, staffing, and automated candidate sourcing when they look to acquire new resources in talent placement?

In all facets of talent management, the word ‘outsourcing’ carries a stigma that is unfair to an industry sector that expands resource development at a deeper and more proficient level than its competitor sectors. Unlike recruiting, staffing, and automated sourcing, RPO brings outside industry knowledge into the development process for the talent acquisition strategy. While organizations do form a partnership for talent acquisition, what they are really doing is expanding their resources for strategy and action without eliminating their internal recruitment management teams. The value of an RPO lies in its ability to outsource how vital information is sourced from outside the company to build an industry-best talent strategy. The truth is that the stigma of the ‘o’ in RPO is misplaced simply because organizations cannot access that outside perspective from inside the firm. In this panel discussion, we will talk about why it’s time to get over the ‘o’ in RPO and to give RPO a fair chance alongside other talent acquisition solutions toward resolving talent placement problems.

In this session, top industry leaders analyze the evolving value proposition of recruitment process outsourcing as a strategic talent acquisition solution for recruiting top talent and meeting hiring demands. 

The panelists will discuss several topics including:

• Finding Operational Value in RPO

• The Perception of RPO in the market today

• The Real Requirements of Partnering With an RPO

• Overcoming the Stigma to Consider the Requirements and Achieve the Value

• Revisiting the Value of RPO
  
  

Who should attend:  RPO professionals, talent acquisition, and business leaders interested in gaining a better understanding of RPO and the evolving capabilities of RPO providers. 

Tune in to listen to the panelists tackle the stigma of RPO and revisit the evolving value of RPO in the marketplace
