Summary

Introduction

An in-depth examination of the trends associated with the recruitment process outsourcing market, which is the fastest growing sector of HRO. Examines what the impact of a slowing economy could have on RPO, opportunities for global RPO contracts and use of offshore delivery.

Scope

Primary interviews with 15 HRO and RPO providers, including senior executives at tier one vendors Coverage: North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific

Highlights

Datamonitor estimates that the RPO market will be worth $880m in 2008 and has the potential to become a multi-billion dollar market. Many RPO vendors are reticent to use offshore services, especially for work which involves direct contact with client or candidate, but increasing competition and focus on cost will increase pressure to use low-cost locations. Quality of candidate is the key driver for RPO, but in a worsening economy, pricing pressure will increase as customers look for short term cost reductions.
