FPC OUTPACES RPOs WITH TALENT 360™

FPC's 50 years of executive search experience encapsulated in a proprietary process re-establishes contingent search over RPOs.

NEW YORK, March 3, 2010; Contingent search had been losing ground to RPOs (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) in recent years. Hiring companies were attracted by promises of lower fees and the ability to fill open positions across all job functions. Hiring managers and human resources departments quickly realized that the upfront fees associated with RPOs negate the perceived cost savings and that many RPOs ultimately turn to specialty contingent firms to fill positions anyway. Most importantly companies were losing tremendous amounts of money because of the extended time it took for RPOs to fill their open positions.

For hiring companies who are rethinking contingent search, FPC unveiled its proprietary recruitment process, Talent 360™. 

Ron Herzog, CEO  & President of FPC said about the launch “It’s important to re-educate hiring companies on the benefits of contingent search.  Some clients tried RPOs because they were lured by promises of rock-bottom fees.  They quickly became dissatisfied when their positions were not being filled and the cost savings just wasn’t there. They ended up with junior recruiters who had little or no industry experience working on their positions. The process was often very fragmented due to the high turnover associated with these types of recruiters.  Hiring managers indicated that the personal networks and relationships that experienced contingent recruiters maintain allowed them to hire faster, more successfully and ultimately in a more cost-efficient manner.

Contingent search processes such as Talent 360™ are beating out RPOs for the following reasons:
  • Much shorter time to fill positions
  • Fewer, more targeted resumes which result in a shorter time commitment from the hiring company
  • No upfront costs - pay only for successful hires
  • Efficiencies associated with industry or job function specialization
  • The inability of RPOs to fill positions across all job functions as advertised
  • The realization that working with experienced recruiters with established industry and job function networks really does make a difference

With the launch of Talent 360™, FPC encapsulates 50 years of contingent search experience into a proven process.
