# RPO: Outsourcing or Modern Necessity for Best-in-Class Hiring [Webinar]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the 21st century and we need to begin differentiating between good and bad outsourcing. Along these lines, RPO is a bit of a misnomer because the value gained from an RPO partnership is more than just a replacement for your internal talent acquisition department. Instead, RPO partnerships bring a level of subject-matter-expertise to any internal hiring effort that fills gaps in the hiring strategy that plague the ability to overcome emerging skills gaps.

Here is what our research partners at Aberdeen found: 

- 60% of organizations handle recruitment internally

- 41% of companies partner with an RPO provider for strategic labor sourcing and talent acquisition.

When we think about ‘outsourcing’ we think about losing jobs, losing control of our internal protocols, or increasing costs in exchange for solving problems we cannot solve. The reality is that RPO partners provide valuable subject-matter-expertise that helps keep your organization at the cutting edge of how the sands of the workforce are shifting.

In this 30-minute presentation, Zach Chertok, principal industry analyst for the human capital management practice at Aberdeen, and Lamees Abourahma, President of the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association talk more in depth about the benefits of working with an RPO partner as an extension of your internal talent acquisition efforts. You will hear about the key trends and findings we are seeing as we determine and analyze the practices that Best-in-Class companies are using to achieve their results.
