Key benefits
You’ll sometimes hear Managed Recruitment Outsourcing called Recruitment Process Outsourcing. It’s a good way to think about it. You are imposing a single streamlined and repeatable process across all your recruitment needs. It’s an approach that, when employed intelligently and flexibly, can produce outstanding results.
Getting the right people Knowing who these people are and how you communicate with them is only part of this process. Why should they select your organisation above others is an equally important question. It takes experience and industry knowledge.
Making more of your HR budget Many organisations find themselves working with numerous agencies – each on their own commission rates – that can quickly become costly and unmanageable. Based around solid Service Level Agreements, an outsourcing company should have a model to deliver on-going cost reductions featuring elements such as ‘fixed cost per head’ solutions.
Freeing your HR staff There are so many vital tasks for a Human Resources department that handling recruitment can be a huge drain on your time. By liberating you from much of the day-to-day process while ensuring you remain in complete control, your outsourcing company lets you channel your resource into higher value strategic activities.
Planning not reacting More than freeing your time, the outsourcing company should ensure that recruitment continues to deliver against your operational objectives. This means reviewing current situations and planning for future growth. For this to happen effectively, they must be an integral part of your team.
Installing a culture of best practise Managed Recruitment Outsourcing must be a truly integrated process involving the HR department, the departmental hiring managers and the outsourcing company. It should be driven by best practice at every stage in a way that allows for continual service improvement.
Enhancing your employers’ brandWe all recognise that it is often as important for an organisation to sell itself to the candidate as vise versa. Anything that undermines your employers’ brand can affect whether someone accepts the job or not. The outsourcing company should ensure that, when it comes to recruitment, you have a single voice and strong messages that appeal to your prospective employees and the people who influence them.
