The conversation around diversity in talent acquisition is in danger of becoming at best uniform, at worst – banal. Uniformity or banality, it’s not a great outcome either way.

RPOs aren’t what they used to be. At one time, providers offered nothing more than inflexible outsourced recruitment exclusively for large businesses, but times have changed.

A critical challenge for organisations is their ability to keep abreast of international and domestic employment law. Employment law changes often, which makes […]
There’s always an RPO provider out there that can source candidates. Give someone a log-in to LinkedIn and they will probably have a list of links as quick as you can say ‘Download this free Boolean Search Generator’. If you don’t want to know the results, look away now. As AI technology makes the process […]
