What is an RPO?

Staffing vacancies continue to be a concern for healthcare organizations across the country. It is a delicate balancing act to maintain everyday operations, especially when you have direct-care staff or leadership vacancies. Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a process where a company outsources all or part of its recruitment activities to an external RPO provider.

RPO services are designed to help companies:

• streamline their recruitment processes
• reduce hiring costs
• and improve the quality of their hires

An RPO company typically provides a range of services, including sourcing and screening of candidates, job advertising, candidate assessment, and selection. By outsourcing these activities, companies can focus on their core business activities while leaving the recruitment process to experts who can provide a more efficient and cost-effective service.

One of the main benefits of RPO services is the cost savings. By outsourcing some, or all, recruitment activities, healthcare organizations can save money on recruitment advertising, candidate screening, and other recruitment-related expenses. RPO companies also have access to technology and tools that can help streamline the recruitment process and reduce time-to-hire, further reducing costs. In fact, companies that use LeaderStat’s RPO services save an average of $800,000 by reducing the average time to fill by 33% with an average rec load of 100 jobs.

Another benefit of RPO services is the improved quality of hires. RPO companies have a deep understanding of the recruitment process and can use their expertise to identify and attract top talent. They also have access to a wider pool of candidates, including passive candidates who may not be actively looking for a job but are open to new opportunities.

Partnering with an RPO can be a viable option for organizations that have high-volume or complex recruitment needs, or those that need to scale their recruitment efforts quickly. It can also be a useful strategy for organizations looking to improve their employer brand and candidate experience by providing a more streamlined and consistent recruitment process. This can help create a positive candidate experience, which can improve the company's reputation and make it more attractive to potential hires.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing is a valuable service for healthcare organizations looking to improve their recruitment processes, reduce costs, and improve the quality of their hires, allowing companies to focus on their core business – providing exceptional care to their patients.
