Veritude's Latest Workforce Insights Identifies Five Key Steps to Consider Before Outsourcing Recruiting Operations

BOSTON, MA, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Veritude, a leading provider of talent acquisition, consulting and management
services, today
announced the release of its latest Workforce Insights paper entitled "Five
Steps
for Successful Recruitment Outsourcing." Veritude's Workforce Insights series
provides
thoughtful analysis of the latest trends in staffing, workforce consulting,
RecruitmentProcess Outsourcing (RPO) and other HR topics.

To ensure a successful RPO initiative, Veritude recommends careful
planningand management support. Human Resources, as well as the entire
organization,
must be properly prepared in advance to support an RPO implementation. In
its latest Workforce Insights, Veritude identifies these five steps to consider
before outsourcing recruiting operations:

1. Establish and be prepared to communicate a change management
strategy
2. Secure leadership support in advance
3. Be willing to adopt the recommended business processes of the RPO
provider
4. Gain agreement with your RPO vendor on the scope of work
5. Define a governance process and establish the metrics to measure
effectiveness

Veritude notes that most organizations elect to outsource their
recruitingoperations to reduce costs, improve compliance, achieve faster fill
rates and
gain more time to focus on other talent management issues. And, in most
cases, an RPO program improves business performance. However, according to
Veritude, implementing an RPO engagement may prove risky and actually
decrease performance if not managed correctly.

Jim McCoy, SVP of Consulting Services for Veritude, said, "Implementing an
RPO program requires advanced planning and preparation in order to make a
positive impact on the strategic direction of an organization. We have
implemented RPO solutions that have elevated customer service ratings, reduced
workforce turnover and achieved measurable improvements in transactions per
employee."
