Challenges And Issues Of Recruitment Outsourcing

Recruitment outsourcing in general and engineering recruitment outsourcing specially has a lot of challenges to face, i.e. almost more than other types of outsourcing. Here’re few concerns of the recruitment outsourcing industry.
• If a company failed to identify its overall recruitment strategy and hiring objectives, then any recruiting program may fail to meet the company's needs.
• Indecently implemented RPO could trim down the effectiveness of recruitment.
• The costs charged for outsourced recruitment transactions may total more than the cost of the internal recruitment department.
• RPO service providers may not succeed to provide the quality or volume of staff required by their customers.
• Placing all recruitment in the hands of a single outside provider may dispirit the competition that would arise if several recruitment agencies were used.
• An RPO solution may not work if the company's recruitment processes are performing poorly already.
• Mainly, RPOs perform their staffing functions and service offsite, further disconnecting the client's growth & recruiting strategy from the actual workforce within the client company.
• RPO may not resolve difficulties that organizations have hiring staff when the organization is supposed negatively by potential employees.
• Organizations with efficient hiring process that are viewed as employers of choice by potential staff may stand to gain negligible benefits from RPO.
