With a comprehensive and flexible delivery model, Strategic RPO from Futurestep can help you turn talent acquisition into a performance advantage for your company.
Futurestep brings a unique combination of technology, resources and process-driven delivery to improve quality, speed, and return on investment for your recruiting operation. A key ingredient of Strategic RPO is a service delivery process that addresses the unique needs that will drive the success of your talent acquisition strategy, including:
Assessing Current Processes—The Futurestep team reviews the current state of your recruitment processes and workflow, benchmarked against best practices. We identify potential improvements in all aspects of your program, from workforce planning and job requisition creation, to candidate sourcing, screening and onboarding.
Developing a Program Plan—Initial planning focuses on the design of a customized solution, transforming all or part of your recruitment organization. We work with you to develop a change management strategy and continuity plan, establish communication channels and information flow, determine SLAs, and finalize the implementation plan for your customized RPO solution.
Assembling the Experts—Our recruiters, consultants and solutions architects are trained extensively in Futurestep methodologies, systems, and Six Sigma best practices, applying well-honed relationship management skills and bringing proven success in recruiting for hard-to-fill and mission-critical positions.
Deployment—During implementation, we deploy functional and vertical market specialists who best match the geographical and cultural needs of your location, and support the volume and complexity of the engagement. From strategic workforce planning to sourcing and administration, our accountability for these tasks frees up your team to focus on their core mission.
Integrating with Your Team—The Futurestep Strategic RPO team integrates with your team through a focused immersion process. A project leader manages the relationship and oversees immersion of the recruiting team into your framework. Seamless integration of the Futurestep recruitment team enables best practices throughout your business.
Program Management—Futurestep applies Six Sigma methodology to enable a recruiting process that is consistent, objectively managed, and aligned to facilitate continuous improvement. We work with executive sponsors and leadership, managing program progress and changes, and sharing ownership in the governance and success of your Strategic RPO effort.
