This is an important question that any client who is considering working with a recruitment firm should ask. The RPO process involves the agency taking over responsibility for all or part of the recruitment and candidate selection process. This is an advantageous solution for companies that want to optimize the cost, time and quality of recruitment. However, not every RPO agency is the same. Some offer additional services that can be useful for clients who are looking not only for employees, but also for information about the labor market, competition or trends. For example, an agency can conduct market research to identify the best sources of candidates, determine salary expectations and benefits, and examine employee satisfaction and loyalty. The agency can also offer competency assessment of candidates, which involves testing their knowledge, skills and attitudes using various tools such as tests, simulations or interviews. Competency assessments help select the best candidates for a role and provide them with appropriate support and development. Services such as market research or competency assessments can be of great value to clients who want to have a complete picture of the labor market and provide a competitive edge. That’s why it’s a good idea to ask an RPO agency about the scope of its offerings and how it provides additional services.
