According to a new report from global research and advisory firm Everest Group, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) has evolved to what it describes as RPO 2.0 to address the new challenges facing HR leaders in making business impact through their talent acquisition and management practices.
As HR professionals look to be more strategic in a tough economy, there are still barriers to implementing Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP), according to leading international talent management and RPO firm, Ochre House.
While practically all large companies now believe that a strategic approach to workforce planning is essential, only around one-fifth have successfully embraced the concept.
Ochre House, the recruitment process outsourcing specialist, has acquired the two leading strategic resourcing firms in the Middle East and North Africa, TAAHEED and Carmichael Fisher.
