How Does The WorkPlace Group compare with other Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) providers?
There are many differences between The WorkPlace Group and other RPO providers.
As a think tank provider of talent acquisition and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), our associates become immersed in the recruitment partnerships we establish with our clients — often discovering ways to positively impact our clients’ businesses beyond the hires made.
We are thought leaders in talent acquisition, producing novel research, publishing articles in major publications and speaking at industry conferences. Visit Thought Leadership to learn more.
Unlike RPO providers who only “process” candidates given to them by the employer, we recruit and attract unique candidates to our clients’ open positions. Our Multimethod-Multisource Candidate Acquisition (MMCA) brings advanced candidate sourcing and screening capabilities that identify candidates precisely matching position requirements and company culture.
How is WPG different from a staffing agency and headhunter?
Staffing agencies and headhunters represent candidates. They are agents for candidates. Since they represent candidates, they tend to send candidates on interviews with multiple employers as a way of attaining the highest paying job offer for their candidate. After all, higher job offers also mean higher fees paid to the agency or headhunter.
In contrast, The WorkPlace Group exclusively represents the employer. We serve as a seamless extension of our clients’ talent acquisition and recruiting function. To candidates and hiring managers, we are just another member of our clients’ recruiting team. This also means we brand and promote our clients’ employment brand – not our own. The candidates we source and screen are for the benefit of our clients. We also don’t negotiate job offers for candidates. Rather, we help our clients make job offers that are fair and will be accepted by their first-choice candidates.
How is WPG different from contract recruiters?
Contract recruiters are temporary workers. They typically are employed through a third-party staffing agency who serves as a payroll provider. When you hire contract recruiters you will need to manage, train and provide them with whatever recruiting tools, systems and methodologies they need.
In contrast, The WorkPlace Group provides a managed solution. We oversee, coordinate and train our talent teams to carry out your recruiting needs and process. Our associates use our recruiting candidate networks, tools, methodologies and systems. When our work with your organization is complete, our associates typically move on to helping other clients. And when you need us again, the team members who already know your organization’s culture and hiring process are here to assist you.
Does Outsourcing Recruitment Mean Replacing Our In-House Recruiting Staff?
Typically not. Most of our clients use The WorkPlace Group in place of adding talent acquisition headcount and contract recruiters to their in-house teams. They also use our services to reduce their reliance and need for staffing firms, contingency agencies and headhunters.
