One of the most recent and discernable trends has been the rapid growth of outsourcing within the HR and recruitment services market. An increasing number of firms, some already having outsourced their benefits and pensions provision to third parties, are now outsourcing their recruitment and HR responsibilities. The attraction of moving away from a dedicated in-house resource and placing reliance on individual experts in their varied fields is clear. By outsourcing your recruitment process, or part of your HR process, firms benefit from an immediate reservoir of human resources or recruitment expertise, as and when required, at a much lower cost. Origin HR is able to offer their clients specific cost benefits in a long-term, short-term or project basis.
- Significant cost savings through hiring directly rather than via recruitment agencies
- Increased branding in the marketplace
- A direct candidate database
- Design of a recruitment microsite
- Increase in internal transfers and employee referrals
- Management of PSL and standardisation of terms
- Management information reporting
- Flexibility in terms of number of recruiters when volumes change, meaning reduced business risk
- Reduced internal administration
- Reduced attrition
- Effective control of process activity and costs
- Sharing of best practice
Ultimately Origin HR is responsible for changing the supply chain away from recruitment agencies towards a direct candidate culture, thereby reducing the overall recruitment spend. It is also our remit to increase internal mobility, reduce attrition and promote employer referral incentive schemes.
Graduate recruitment by its very nature is cyclical and it is often impractical to divert costly people and resources from core HR activities to resource graduate recruitment. Outsourcing graduate recruitment makes sense. Whether looking for graduates, MBA's or Associates recruiting junior talent is both costly and time consuming, for any organisation. Even small graduate programmes require extensive core recruitment activities, such as having in place “on line” hiring management software, screening graduate CVs, attending graduate careers’ fairs and designing and facilitating graduate recruitment assessment centres. Outsourcing your graduate recruitment saves time and money.
