PeopleScout Expands RPO Services

PeopleScout Expands RPO Services, Blending Live Recruiters and Web Technology for High-Volume Hiring Needs

Revamped website illustrates enhanced services from sourcing to onboarding

As todayís workforce continues to shrink, employers are increasingly turning to outsourced solutions to meet their high-volume hiring needs; however, most technology solutions lack the human touch of live, experienced recruiters. In response, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) leader PeopleScout is helping companies recruit, screen, hire and retain staff with a blend of web-based technology and live recruiters.

The companyís redesigned website, unveiled today, reflects PeopleScoutís expanded services in recruitment outsourcing, whether itís an end-to-end solution or an individual component in the recruitment process. Located at www.peoplescout.com, the site better illustrates the latest enhancements to the firmís family of services, including recruitment consulting, strategic sourcing, candidate selection, hiring, onboarding and employee retention. Expanded capabilities include not only RPO, but Candidate Process Outsourcing (CPO), Student Recruitment Outsourcing (SRO) and Employee Care Outsourcing (ECO).

To date, People Scout has screened more than 22 million job candidates, facilitated more than 187,000 hires for some of America’s largest employers, reduced hiring cycles by as much as 50 percent, and reduced employee turnover by 10 percent. Of greater interest to employers, fill rates have climbed to 97 percent, exceeding the industry standard, candidate quality has improved, and managers are freed of administrative burdens to focus on strategic issues.

With large-scale live recruitment response centers unique to the RPO world, along with integrated web-based services, PeopleScoutís ìclick or callî approach makes the most of candidate flow and reduces the risk of applicants dropping out of the process. Regardless of an applicantís initial method of inquiry, each individual will speak with an experienced PeopleScout telephone recruiter prior to being scheduled for an interview.

ìRecruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is one of the fastest-growing segments of HRO,î explains Karen Browne, Chief Operating Officer of PeopleScout. ìFor over 15 years weíve solved hundreds of high-volume hiring dilemmas and processed millions of hourly and salaried candidates. The new website reflects our commitment to take ownership for every aspect of the recruitment process and improve the outcome. The bottom line is that our HR clients can be more strategic, react more quickly to hiring situations, and cut costs.î
