The Gartner Group, one of America's leading research firms, estimates that 85% of all U.S. companies are outsourcing some part of their HR functions.

Why? Because successful managers recognize that in today's global marketplace the true competitive advantage is excellence. And since no company has the resources or time to develop excellence in every area of its operations, the best alternative is to partner with best-practices outsource providers.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is an especially effective option for many companies because it can have such an immediate and profound impact on their growth and profitability. By enhancing the capabilities of in-house recruitment teams, RPO can accelerate a company's ability to attract and retain a full complement of top-performing employees at every level, dramatically increasing the human capital necessary for marketplace success.

RPO as implemented by CRI enables our clients to increase speed and quality of hiring, improve retention and training, and reduce costs. Our clients enjoy the benefits of our best-practices processes, which are integrated into their operations through our collaborative approach, and our on-site professionals who work as members of the client's team.

RPO also means that the technology, system enhancements, practice innovations and other advances developed anywhere within CRI are immediately available to them.

RPO provides a solution to the difficult challenge of scalability.

A company that launches a new product or acquires a new division may have to add hundreds of employees on a seemingly impossible schedule, perhaps at a distance of thousands of miles. Ramping up and deploying an in-house HR team may be impossible in the time available. RPO provides a turnkey, cost-effective solution - which then ramps down smoothly when the project is complete.
