Episode 25: What You Always Wanted to Know About RPO...

In this Big Fish bonus episode, we are showcasing the RPOA Webinar - a candid conversation between Erin and two former podcast guests, Nicole Cox and Robert Navarrete. The Webinar is titled “What You Always Wanted to Know About RPO, But Didn’t Know Who to Ask”. As the Head of Talent Acquisition at OnTrak, Inc., Nicole brings her RPO and Staffing Agency knowledge to a corporate “build” role for the first time in her career. Similarly, Rob is now the Director and Head of Recruitment at Willis Towers Watson NA, but spent a good part of his career in RPO client team and sourcing leadership roles. Both Nicole and Rob freely share their RPO insider perspectives for the benefit of current TA or HR leaders who may be contemplating an RPO partnership but are not sure where to start. They discuss everything from evaluating which roles are best to outsource, how to choose a partner, negotiations, pricing, implementation, governance - all the most important pieces to “get right” in a successful RPO relationship. Topics Discussed: How to avoid the “we vs. they” mentality Inviting full transparency & feedback for effective transformation The best & worst roles to outsource Distinguishing between outsourcing and offshoring How COVID-19 has altered the outsourcing value proposition The qualities of an effective RPO Connect with Nicole Cox: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nicolecox1 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecox2/?jobid=1234 Connect with Rob Navarrete: Twitter: https://twitter.com/R_Navarrete LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertnavarrete/?jobid=1234 About our Webinar Sponsor, Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association: The goal of RPOA is to educate the marketplace of the value of RPO and elevate the status in the Talent Acquisition space.
