📈 Emerging Trends in UK's and Europe's RPO Market 📈 The Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) market in the UK and Europe is undergoing significant shifts. As businesses adapt to the ever-changing landscape, several key trends are making waves in the sector. Firstly, there is a growing emphasis on data-driven recruitment. Companies are increasingly leveraging advanced analytics and AI to enhance their hiring processes. This technology helps in predicting candidate success and improving retention rates. According to a report by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, 70% of European RPO providers are now using AI tools. Another notable trend is the increasing focus on diversity and inclusion. Organisations are recognising the value of a diverse workforce and are implementing strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in recruitment. Recent data from Deloitte indicates that 65% of UK companies have initiated diversity-focused hiring programs within their RPO agreements. Sustainability is also gaining traction in the recruitment realm. Businesses are adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting remote working options to reduce their carbon footprints. A survey by the Confederation of British Industry revealed that 50% of firms now include sustainability criteria in their recruitment outsourcing processes. At biggsolutions, we are committed to staying ahead of these trends.

In the competitive world of talent acquisition, the ability to measure success through recruitment metrics and KPIs is crucial. These metrics provide insights into the effectiveness of the recruitment process, helping organisations refine their strategies and make data-driven decisions. Key performance indicators such as time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, and quality of hire are essential for understanding how efficiently and effectively a company is attracting and onboarding top talent. By closely monitoring these metrics, organisations can identify gaps in their hiring, challenges, optimize their recruitment processes and ensure that they are not only filling roles quickly but with candidates who are a strong fit for the company. However, measuring success in talent acquisition goes beyond the immediate hiring process. Long-term metrics, such as employee retention rates and performance evaluations, offer a broader perspective on the impact of recruitment decisions. These indicators help assess whether the hires made are contributing positively to the organisation over time, aligning with the company’s strategic goals. By integrating both short-term and long-term recruitment metrics, organisations can build a comprehensive view of their talent acquisition success, ensuring that they are not just hiring, but hiring right. I've read the below blog on Talent Acquisition Metrics, let me know what you think? #talentacquisition #hiringstrategy #recruitment #talent https://lnkd.in/eB6ZR-w2

Contingent vs retained search when hiring, why should you choose one over the other? There are a few common misconceptions that I often hear when speaking to our clients, and potential clients, about these recruitment models. In this blog we explore both in detail, I’d love to hear my networks experiences of these if you’ve worked with a recruiter in this way, let me know in the comments below 👇 https://lnkd.in/euxqC6wf #Hiring #RetainedSearch #Recruitment #GetTheEdge

Over the last 6 weeks Annapurna has seen a 26% up tick in new mandates taken across the HR, Technology and GTM markets that we operate within internationally. This is a very positive sign. The market is still slow, but is building. Reviewing the roles coming to our teams, there seems to be a trend as either as a result of: 1. New senior leaders starting in role and building a new TOM for their function and recruiting for new hires. 2. Increasing resignations, and churn, with employees starting to look to move in the market. 2021 was a phenomenally busy year for transition 'post pandemic'. We are starting to see the start of the cycle of job movement after 3 years tenure coupled with increasing market confidence as leaders start to take new roles. Let's hope this trend continues, as there is still a significant number of excellent candidates looking to move into role from the open market. Especially in areas such as TA, Learning and Talent, and senior HR directors. 🙏
