A growing number of companies and industries are finding solutions with RPO. RPO or Recruitment Process Outsourcing, can take over parts or all your recruitment process. Organizations like Skywalk Group use their experience with recruiting and design customized processes to meet talent needs. This provides many benefits for major stakeholders within the organization.

RPO benefits HR and Recruiting Staff

Our RPO service works along side existing HR teams and compliments efforts to meet the talent goals for the organization. For example, organizations often have recruiting processes that are inconsistent and time consuming leading to increased time-to-fill (TTF). Furthermore, getting buy-in from internal management and hiring managers for a more structured interview process is difficult. Collaborating with an RPO provider can alleviate a lot of that stress by evaluating what is already working and give access to proven strategies to streamline the hiring process and obtain buy-in. HR teams for rapidly growing employers also experience extreme pressure to fill positions fast. RPOs offer proactive sourcing and screening solutions, which flex with the needs of the business, and allow access to a significant pool of candidates who haven’t applied. This is complimented by powerful reporting and metrics to illustrate the success and ROI of the partnership.

RPO benefits Executives

One of the reasons executives prefer an RPO is because of the cost reductions. For instance, Skywalk Group saves its clients on average 40-60% over traditional agency fees. Executives also appreciate that an RPO is simpler to manage vs. relationships with multiple agencies. It’s expensive and inefficient to manage multiple relationships with agencies and recruiters. RPO consolidates all recruiting relationships into one partnership and adapts to any situation by matching recruitment activity and support to fluctuations in the organization’s hiring needs. An added bonus is that an RPO brings best practice recruitment process and can help ensure consistency across the whole organization. This allows upper management to easily assess progress made.

RPO benefits Hiring Managers

RPOs take the work out of recruiting and specialize in researching, sourcing, screening, interviewing and presenting top applicants. This gives a lot of time back to hiring managers to manage their existing team, so performance doesn’t suffer. Since RPOs specialize in true outbound and passive sourcing, this also means hiring managers will reach a much larger base of potential candidates than simply posting a position. This can positively impact hiring quality. There may be instances where hiring managers are short staff, compelled to fill a position, and have too many candidates to look through. Instead of reviewing each applicant, there is pressure to quickly select and move forward. In turn, they may miss out on a highly qualified candidate. An RPO provides solutions to both challenges and will quickly review all candidates allowing you to hire faster without sacrificing quality and experiencing hiring remorse.

Using an RPO benefits companies in more ways than just reducing cost and filling positions faster. RPO’s can help build a better reputation for a company and create a better environment for everyone. Contact Skywalk Group today to see what we can do to help your business succeed!
