The panel will be moderated by Outsourcing Institute Founder and CEO, Frank Casale, and have four speakers from the RPO provider and buyer community, including Mike Mayeux, Novotus CEO; John Younger, Accolo, Inc.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing has the benefit of reducing recruiting cost and time while increasing talent quality and hire speed. “Managing people (recruiters) takes a lot of time. Now that we outsource talent acquisition, we’ve decreased our costs by 30% and increased our hiring speed by 55%. This also allows us to focus on strategic value initiatives instead of tactical and operational recruiting tasks. We wouldn’t have the time to be a strategic without partnering with our RPO provider,” states Baudler. RPO is a customizable solution; clients have the option of outsourcing all or some parts of their recruiting systems. Sassaman explains, “You can customize RPO to fit what you need, and we’ve done that. This allowed us to have a scalable infrastructure and a strategic solution.”
