Search v RPO: Bridging the divide

To paraphrase Heraclitus, the only thing in life that is permanent is change. 

Whilst the executive search industry has barely evolved in decades, the newer model of RPO has become a booming business, with recent figures putting the value of the global RPO industry at $1.4bn. 

As the economy shows signs of recovery, and businesses see increased hiring requirements, recruitment work is expected to be increasingly outsourced.

RPO is primarily used to fill mid to junior level positions, and is most appropriate for high volumes of hiring with a low mix of profiles.
