TWC GROUP ADVANCES RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING (RPO) STANDARDS

Its Collaborative Approach to Outsourcing Yields Results through Scalable Integration and Industry Expertise

Audubon, PA (November 7, 2007) – TWC Group, a company with established best practices across the recruitment life cycle and a decade of proven success in recruitment process outsourcing or RPO, is leveraging its expertise to set new standards for what works best and shape the future direction of outsourcing of this kind.

TWC has long insisted that recruiting in a vacuum is insufficient. According to TWC consultants, RPO providers must work in close collaboration with their clients, reporting to the client site and integrating seamlessly into the client organization. They call this approach "co-sourcing." While co-sourcing is not a new term, it is not one that is typically used to describe the client-provider relationship in the RPO market. Traditional RPO moves the recruitment function outside of the business; co-sourcing supplements the function by bringing recruitment process experts into the business, thereby expanding the knowledge base and experience in this area that can be leveraged throughout the organization.

"As other RPO firms become more high-tech and isolated from clients and job candidates, TWC Group continues to focus on being high-touch and integrated," says Sally Ting, director of marketing at TWC Group. "TWC's co-sourcing approach completely immerses our recruitment consultants into our clients' staff, company culture and business operations. As a result, TWC consultants are able to actively contribute to the client company's recruitment and retention plan while more effectively identifying the candidates who will bring the most value."

Both outsourcing and co-sourcing allow growing companies to focus on their core business functions, allowing the experts to handle the recruitment function and increase speed and efficiency of hiring. The co-sourcing model fosters an unparalleled level of integration that allows for:

Flexibility - Ability for companies to scale external resources as appropriate for workload fluctuations and specialized projects.

Expertise - TWC consultants add value through the design, implementation and knowledge transfer of industry best practices, process improvements, and the latest recruiting techniques.

Immediate Results - Accelerated time-to-action, transparent processes and seamless integration of external resources into the organization.

David Bomzer, vice president of Human Resources at CertainTeed, can attest to the efficiency and value of TWC's RPO approach. "With co-sourcing, TWC Group raises the bar in what to expect from a RPO partner," he says. "Their consultants are not only experienced and well-connected but they exude the kind of confidence that engenders immediate rapport and trust with our internal team."

Scott Foos, executive director for the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA), agrees that TWC's co-sourcing model is setting new standards for the industry. "As recruitment process outsourcing continues to gain traction in the marketplace, there is increasing confusion on how to define success," he says. "TWC Group's RPO model, utilizing its co-sourcing approach, is a win-win for companies in that it ramps up the recruitment function quickly, implements best practices methodologies and delivers the top quality candidates better than traditional internal recruiting departments."
