Expanding the Search: How RPOs are Adapting to the Evolving Needs of Their Clients
The needs of human resources and talent acquisition professions are constantly evolving. With so much uncertainty across all industries, HR professionals have an expanding desire for partners that can provide multiple solutions.

Let’s Get Smart About Artificial Intelligence in Talent Acquisition
Let’s Get Smart About Artificial Intelligence in Talent Acquisition - How AI Is Changing the Game for Recruiters AND Job Seekers?
AI is a two-way street when it comes to talent acquisition. Recruiters and TA professionals are using AI to create job descriptions, schedule interviews, and assess candidates. Meanwhile, candidates are also using AI to find employment opportunities, tailor their resumes to fit job descriptions and empower themselves in the application process. What do TA professionals need to know now that artificial intelligence is so readily accessible?

Greater Expectations in Talent Acquisition
Middle-market companies are competing for the same talent as Enterprise-level organizations. However, most companies of this size have smaller hiring teams that are reactive and struggling to proactively set talent strategy and infrastructure. So how can they gain a competitive advantage? Finding a talent acquisition partner to support and guide them through can be a fruitful strategy. But where should mid-market organizations start when looking for a talent acquisition partner, and what should they expect?
To answer this question, Felix Mitchell, co-founder and CEO of Instant Impact, returns to the HRO Today Educational Podcast Series to offer his perspective on the role of Talent Partners in the middle market. Felix and host Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today, explore the partnerships between RPOs and small to medium-sized companies, the cost of the talent acquisition process, and how candidate experience is suffering amid it all.

Making an (Appropriately Sized) Bang with A Talent Partner

Avoiding A “Fair Chance” of Employment Litigation - How Companies Can Stay in Compliance with California’s Amended Fair Chance Act
For years, California has had the Fair Chance Act which limited the ability of employers to use background screening information related to prior convictions in employment processes. On Oct. 1, 2023, a new amendment went into effect that expanded the protections and definitions of those parties covered by the Fair Chance Act. What does this mean for companies when they are hiring or changing their corporate structure and how can they be sure to comply with the new law?

HR Technology and AI – HR’s Truth or Dare Tech Moment – Part Two
With a wide array of HR technology available, integration and interoperability is the name of the game.

Healing the Workforce Strategies in Health Systems - How RPOs Can Help Health Systems with Workforce Planning
Quality of service is crucial in healthcare, but such a volatile economic and health environment makes it difficult to anticipate how many workers a healthcare system will need. Many healthcare leaders believe they have insufficient staff, but healthcare systems do not always have the infrastructure in-house to track recruitment data so that they can plan hiring strategies for the future. Without analyzing that data, it is hard to determine the exact areas of shortage that need to be filled.
On the latest episode of the HRO Today Educational Podcast Series, Leora Westbrook, President of Workforce Optimization Solutions at AMN Healthcare, and Keith Bradley, President of Recruitment Process Outsourcing at AMN Healthcare, join host Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today to discuss recruitment processes in the healthcare space.

Moving Beyond the Fixed Infrastructure in Recruiting - How A Variable Recruitment Function Can Improve the Hiring Experience for All Involved
Designing a talent acquisition department is crucial to helping an organization grow. While outsourcing was looked down on pre-pandemic, current economic instability is leading companies to reduce their HR teams. There will be a demand for skilled recruiters and companies could look to RPO providers to meet their hiring needs.

HR Technology and AI - HR's Truth or Dare Tech Moment - Part One
Technology is almost always a conundrum for HR, but it is a necessity if HR teams want to adapt to an ever-changing business environment. The mass media and the HR trade media are awash with stories on artificial intelligence and the discussion about what it can do for business, the dangers it represents, and the possibility it will replace throngs of workers. But is AI here to stay?

Creating an Authentic Employment Brand - The Importance of Transparency in the Candidate Experience Process
In the search for talent, candidate experience can make or break the recruitment process.

On the latest episode of the HRO Today Educational Podcast Series, Pete Donaldson, Chief Growth Officer of Instant Impact, joins HRO Today CEO Elliot Clark to discuss how mid-market companies can address their candidate experience process.
Listen in as Pete and Elliot explore ways mid-market companies can authentically represent their employment brands and how that will attract the right candidates.

Outsourcing some areas of the TA process may give companies the edge they need to be competitive, stay ahead of the technology curve, and - especially in volatile markets - remain flexible.

Right Back At You! Understanding the Trend of Boomerang Employees
In the wake of the “Great Resignation,” some workers are finding their best option may be to return to a previous employer. According to LinkedIn data, in 2010, companies reported that 2% of hires were returning or became “boomerang” employees. Now, post-pandemic that number has increased to 4.5%. Boomerang employees are not a new phenomenon, but why have they been happening more and more frequently?

Workforce Planning That (Actually) Will Work
Workforce planning is a critical process that all HR departments must account for, but according to research from HRO Today, very few companies feel confident that they are able to do it well. Whether that is because of a lack of technology tools, the inability to predict long-term changes, or any number of reasons, workforce planning has been a historically burning platform for HR personnel. Despite this, Korn Ferry, one of the worldwide leaders in RPO services, asserts improving workforce planning is a trend for 2023.

Managing Contingent Labor like a Pro | An HRO Today Podcast
Increasing numbers of organizations are now recognizing that their contingent workforce – and not just their employees – is a critical, strategic part of their total workforce. With that comes a need for new data-driven practices and solutions that not only address cost and risk management, but also enable multichannel sourcing and worker engagement.
For example, organizations need to develop an employer brand and a worker experience that resonates with, attracts and motivates contingent workers. But how do organizations understand what they need to do to engage and get the most out their contingent workforce?
In this podcast, our own Elliot Clark sits down with Kevin Akeroyd, CEO of PRO Unlimited, to discuss contingent workforce industry trends and changing best practices for attracting, engaging and optimizing the value of contingent workers.

Leveraging Candidate Experience | An HRO Today Podcast with Page Outsourcing
Finding quality people is hard. Gone are the days of hiring managers asking, “Why should I hire you?” Candidates are now in the driver’s seat – and they want to know why they should work for you.
A positive candidate experience can have a real impact on an organization’s hiring efforts. Today’s savvy job seekers are interested in things like company culture, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and learning and development programs. But only 30% of respondents report having a “great” candidate experience according to this year’s North American Candidate Experience Research Report. Clearly, there is work to be done.
In this podcast, Chad Creamer, executive director, North America, of Page Outsourcing sits down with our very own Debbie Bolla to discuss how employer branding impacts hiring efforts and the approaches organizations can take to appeal to today’s top talent.
