RPO Providers: A Look into 2025. How will RPO shape 2025? In the dynamic landscape of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) in the UK and Europe, 2025 is set to be a significant year. Companies are increasingly seeking efficient ways to handle their recruitment needs, and RPO providers are expected to step up to this challenge. Why the growing confidence? Transparency, cost-effectiveness, and expertise. We’re witnessing a surge in demand for agile and adaptable RPO solutions that can scale with business needs.

Recent studies show that 73% of European companies plan to increase their investment in RPO by the end of 2025 (source: ERE Recruiting Intelligence). Why is this important? Because this shift underscores the critical role that RPO providers are playing in bridging talent gaps and driving growth. The European market is diverse, and the ability to cater to this array of needs while maintaining a standard of excellence will set top RPO providers apart. Those who can offer tailored solutions and deep industry insights will lead the pack. What’s your experience with RPO providers? Do you see this trend growing in your field?

Ciara Chapman got some very interesting results to a recent survey - see below: "What is the biggest challenge you face during your recruitment process? The author can see how you vote. Learn more What is the biggest challenge you face during your recruitment process?" Difficult Location - 10% Competitive Salaries - 10% Lack of experienced candidates - 80% Other (please comment) - 0% Our sales division has made more placements in the first half of 2024 than any other first half in our company's history. If you are recruiting talk to us we are here to help but the following is worth considering prior to a conversation: 1) What are the "must haves" and not an unrealistic "Euro Millions list of attributes". 2) How will you attract them - why do you work there? What growth plans does your company have? How are you different to the competition (What is your USPs as a business?) How are you innovating with new products or applications for existing ones? How do you back your sales people? How effective is your marketing (exhibitions, conferences, sponsorship, professional memberships, marketing collateral)? What is your culture / What is it like to work for you? 3) Is your basic salary competitive (people need to pay bills - commissions and bonuses are what drive sales people and make them strive to be number one but don't expect successful sales people to join you on less. 4) Is your car policy flexible and attractive. Companies offering hybrids as the norm and electric cars if practical or realistic Car Allowances (preferably a choice of either) find it easier to attract people. 5) It's a very competitive market with most applicants having multiple choices in where they go - delay in making decisions and you WILL loose people. Telling that only 10% said Difficult Location. My experience says that if you have an exacting and tight person specification and you then add in a location with little flexibility, you are likely to fail. We will also become your "ambassadors" selling your role truthfully and with conviction to both new and existing candidates. We have over 100 years combined experience recruiting sales professionals - feel free to call us to discuss your vacancies and we will offer genuine advice on how we can help.

💬 Hot Topic in Healthcare Recruitment 💬 With the UK facing financial pressures and an evolving work landscape, is it still sustainable to keep compliance departments onshore in healthcare recruitment? 🤔 Or is offshoring the key to navigating today’s economic climate? 🌍💼 📊 Many top UK healthcare recruitment companies are already shifting their compliance functions offshore, keeping only a few critical roles onshore. This begs the question: What is the best approach for the long-term success and efficiency of our sector? 🚀 💡 Onshore can mean greater control and possibly smoother alignment with UK regulations. 💡 Offshore often offers financial savings and scalability — essential during uncertain times. 📉 With financial constraints impacting the UK, where do you see the balance between cost-effectiveness and operational control? 🔹 If you'd like more information on how I can aid in making a smooth transition from onshore to offshore compliance, please get in touch! 💬 👇 I’d love to hear your insights!
