7 Ways Midsize Businesses Can Accelerate Hiring with RPO
Aug 04, 2021

We are living throught the great resignation – as more people than ever before decide to exit their current roles for a new opportunity (or complete career shift). Add this to a growing need for skilled talent inside many organisations and things can feel tough for in-house recruitment teams. They want to extend their talent acquisition reach and access hiring expertise and tech, but their to-do list is already overflowing. Many are thinking about outsourcing part or all of their recruitment function but are worried they don’t have enough hires or that they will losing control of their talent processes.


This truth is that every business can benefits from the right RPO (recruitment process outsourcing) solution in the right place. And for small and midsize businesses, Modular RPO can be a great way to access a personalised solution quickly. This customisable and cost-effective option allows you to focus support, choosing just the talent acquisition services you need.

​

In this blog, we look at 7 big reasons midsize businesses can benefit from Modular RPO.

​

1. Tap into a flexible, on-demand solution


Modular RPO can move with you, providing personalised support for a single part of your hiring process or multiple areas and giving you the flexibility to increase your reach or scale back quickly. Whether you need help screening candidates, setting up interviews, or onboarding, Modular RPO is a great way to personalise the support you need.

​

2. You only need to manage a single contractual relationship


Juggling multiple suppliers, technology providers, and talent experts can be a headache. Plus, it can be tough to keep up with the latest innovations and tools without making industry watching your full-time job. The right RPO supplier will help you to reduce complexity through a single contractual relationship and keep you ahead of the latest talent trends.

​

3. Your talent team can focus on what really matters


Your talent acquisition team are highly skilled and it makes sense for them to focus those skills in the areas where they can add the most value. Modular RPO can reduce workloads and help you to hand off those repetitive or specialist tasks that your team doesn’t have the time or specialist knowledge to tackle, to outside experts.

​

4. It helps to standardise processes (within agreed services)


If you’re feeling stretched, it can translate into different experiences for different candidates and this reflects poorly on your employer brand. Ensure your candidates and new hires have a consistent, high-quality experience by embedding support from talent experts who can deliver great service every time.

​

5. It can support consistent messaging


A great RPO provider can spread your employer brand message and ensure your values and purpose shine (within the scope of services). One of the biggest concerns organisations have about external recruitment partners is the potential dilution of your brand and message. A great RPO provider should achieve the opposite – putting your voice, values, and goals at the centre of their approach.

​

6. Reduce your hiring costs


The time and resources you put into hiring can have a significant impact on your bottom line. By streamlining and standardising costs, Modular RPO can reduce unnecessary spend and add value. Plus, because you only pay for the services you really need, you can ensure that your budget goes further.

​

7. Win the battle for exceptional talent


Competition for talent is fierce right now, and it can be hard to keep the skilled people you need engaged throughout the hiring process. By plugging into targeted support from recruitment experts, you can boost access to hard-to-find or passive talent pools and benefit from specialist engagement expertise.

​

Modular RPO is a great way to access tailored support, and the in-built flexibility of the model means that it’s a great fit for nearly every type of business. At KellyOCG, our Modular RPO solution is an on-demand menu of specialised recruitment services, with organisations able to switch services on and off seamlessly.

LET´S TALK

Change. How to turn your fear into fuel for a rocket move and wake up in a different reality.

14 Aug, 2023
Rephrasing the famous song, “Love is in the air”, let’s talk about change is in the air – and everywhere. We grow. We change. Look at your childhood photos. Watch your kid, your nephew, your niece. The change is there, and it’s incredible. Nature is constantly changing. We wait for summer as the time to enjoy outdoor activities and gardening, for a quick visit to the beach, or simply take time to relax and spend time with family, friends and loved ones. We wait for winter (even if we never see snow falling) to decorate the house for the holidays, pack presents for the people we love and unpack our own. The colour of the leaves changes, the weather shifts, and flowers blossom in their time – the landscape is constantly transforming. The world around us is changing. We travel to other countries and learn new things, cultures and languages. We take on new hobbies. We get new skills. After a couple of minor kitchen accidents (sometimes), we can cook delicious dishes and get compliments from family and friends. We transform our bodies at the gym or simply by creating the habit of walking every day. We meet new people, we sometimes fall in love, we build families, we have kids. And if you step back for a second, you realise you might have met your other half by pure accident. But you took a leap of faith into the unknown. We embrace many types of unknown change, except for the one that can change how we live five days a week – to change jobs. “I am too old/too young to change”, “I’m used to this environment; It’s my comfort zone”, “Well, I don’t get any promotion, and what I do doesn’t change the world, but it’s stable”, “I am afraid to ask for more interesting projects. What if my manager fires me?”. We often don’t want to change because that step requires a vision, courage, external support, and a leap of faith into the unknown. Scary? Yes. But also promising. A step into the unknown? Yes. But it can open a new door. Do your inner values marry what you do? Yes, it is essential. There is nothing terrible about staying in your comfort zone. At some stage of your career, staying put can be an excellent decision. But if you feel that you need a change – talk to Kelly. We don’t mind going the extra mile and support your wish to embrace the change. The one which will give meaning to what you do, feel proud, motivated and fulfilled. Ready for changing? We’ll make sure your talent can truly shine.

Balance. Why it is essential to keep your eyes on your destination and not to listen to applause.

10 Aug, 2023
You’ve seen these guys before when a circus came to your city or maybe on TV. They walk on a wire at an impressive height, sometimes without insurance, sometimes with a long stick that probes the void right and left. They walk slowly, trying the wire with their toes first, making small steps, their eyes fixed on the small platform where they plan to land soon. They never watch down. They don’t listen to an audience that applauses or gasps in awe. They are concentrated on keeping their balance. To keep balance. Let’s come down from the wire above the arena or stage. Let’s look closer at balance, where it has its roots and the secrets of keeping it. Is it an art? Or is it a skill? Can you learn to keep balance? Or is it an innate skill that only gymnasts, figure skaters, circus artists and ballet dancers are born with? Want to know the secrets of a ballerina that must perform 32 fouettes, a complex ballet movement that requires turning 360 degrees at a high-speed standing on the point of a ballet shoe? First, keeping balance is a skill people must learn for years. In ballet, sport, circus, real life, and… work life. A ballerina is taught to pick one point and to fix her eyes on it when she makes her 32 fouettes, a complex ballet movement that requires turning 360 degrees at high-speed standing on the point of a ballet shoe. She focuses on one thing that keeps her upright. She doesn’t look anywhere else. Gymnasts in some disciplines are constantly trained to feel the bar under their feet. They are prepared to land precisely on the bar after they jump, and the incredible contortions we admire in competitions. But let’s come back to the circus artists we have begun with. Often, they have a long stick in their hands to keep their balance. Is their secret hidden in the stick? And what is the secret? You don’t need to be a ballet dancer, a gymnast, or a circus artist to get the idea of balance. Here are your first two steps in your balance training: 1. Keep your main priorities in mind. And have a clear idea about what is very important for you and where you are ready to compromise. But don’t listen to external opinions that don’t align with your ideals. Forget about the audience’s applause – focus on you. 2. Use some help to stay upright and get to your goals. Imagine your life split on two ends of the helping stick, your job is on one end, and your private life is on another. How comfortable do you feel at your height now with the load on both ends? You need support. We at Kelly pay a lot of attention to balance. The balance between people’s private lives and their jobs. The balance between feeling appreciated and professional goals or between achieving extraordinary results and being inspired. Talk to Kelly today. We are not ballet coaches or sports trainers, but we know much about how important work/life balance is in our lives.

Inspiration. Why we all are artists and how to restore the sparkle

03 Aug, 2023
We often associate certain qualities with individuals who seem to possess a natural talent for creativity. We convince ourselves that painting, singing, or dancing are pursuits reserved for these "real" artists while we remain mere spectators. Creativity? Inspiration? No, it's not about me.
