The Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) service providers perform several tasks, from sourcing to selecting candidates and maintaining the quality of recruits. Service providers are implementing innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for self-scheduling interviews and automated screening of CVs to enhance their capabilities. Service providers are further channeling better candidate engagement through chatbots and other assessment tools. AI is expected to be a game-changer in the recruitment industry. It automates candidate sourcing, rediscovery, employee reference, and diversity hiring tasks to improve strategic workforce planning.
The growing attrition rate across several industries is one of the key factors in favor of the RPO market. To remain competitive, several service providers readily offer a replacement for any candidate who quits an organization quickly. Moreover, the education system rapidly evolves, providing hands-on industry experience and advanced skills to fresh graduates and post-graduates. As a result, selecting the right candidate is becoming increasingly challenging for recruiters. The market is also benefitting from the increased focus of employers on core competencies and ways of reducing recruitment costs.
In the automation era, companies are trying to increase or maintain headcount rather than reduce it. Companies invest in digital technologies, requiring a skilled workforce to perform new and complementary tasks to those done by machines. However, the labor shortage and difficulty in finding just-in-time talent are restraining the growth of the companies. As a result, the companies outsource hiring, boosting market growth. To bridge the gap between the new skilled workforce requirement and existing resources, only some companies are upskilling their workforce to build the required expertise. Companies are also deploying diverse approaches to address this challenge, including developing a learning culture within the organization to provide career guidance training sessions.
