XPO Talent Solutions RPO 2023
Traditionally organisations considered RPO in pursuit of cost efficiencies, reducing time to hire, enhancing visibility, streamlining reporting and tapping into specific expertise. Sometimes intending to overhaul outdated technology at others to leverage expertise to get the best out of existing systems.
In order to maintain and enhance their competitiveness, companies are faced with an increasingly complex set of challenges to compete in the war for talent. Aligning to the organisation’s goals and strategic imperatives, vision, values and mission are no longer “bolt-ons” or afterthoughts. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Risk Management, Compliance, Probity….every distinct aspect of service provision from applicant attraction, referral management, candidate management, talent pool management, candidate assessment, pre-employment screening, employment contract management, reporting and analytics and project management contains dozens of opportunities to maintain and enhance the customer brand and its employee value propositions. It represents an equal number of risks to be avoided, managed and mitigated – ideally eradicated, through process design.
The optimal approach to sourcing, assessing and engaging the workforce must balance cost and value; risk and innovation; provide flexibility but ensure consistency; assesses applicants stringently and accurately but rapidly and easily. One that will deliver without compromise in terms of quality, speed, stakeholder- and user-satisfaction, security of supply and defensibility
