In a time when the talent demands of all companies are growing more complex, having an industry veteran like Michael Palmer leading our growth initiatives ensures our positive impact will continue to expand. “
According to a new market research report published by Credence Research “Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Market (On-demand RPO and End-to-end RPO) – Growth, Share, Opportunities, Competitive Analysis and Forecast 2015 – 2022” the global recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) market was valued at US$ 3.5B in 2014 and is estimated to expand three fold with a CAGR of 14.4% from 2015 to 2022.
“I have known John Younger for many years, both of us serving on the Board for the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA).
