FINDERS KEEPERS - ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TOP TALENT
As the war for talent heats up, an often-overlooked aspect of the recruitment process is the importance and impact of employee retention. And it's not just for the obvious reason - that every employee you retain is one less you need to acquire. More importantly, if you can spend less time and money on recruitment, HR can really focus on what's important - the job of motivating and engaging with staff.

HUMAN TOUCH REMAINS IMPORTANT IN RECRUITMENT
Since the beginning of time people have found many different ways to communicate. For eons, the spoken word has been a powerful medium. With the invention of the Guttenberg press in the 15th century, the printed word became a staple in everyday communication. Since the explosion of the information super highway in the mid-1980s, the computer chip has enabled us to use a telephone, PDA or computer to handle most of our everyday interactions virtually without human interface.

BACK TO THE RPO FUTURE
A few years ago, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) was just another acronym being thrown around. Yes, there were a few early adopters who had the foresight to outsource their recruitment needs to an outside provider. But the past year has marked an explosion in the industry on multiple fronts: More companies are taking the plunge and outsourcing some or all of their recruitment processes; more staffing and recruiting companies are broadening their services to offer end-to-end RPO; and HR professionals are establishing associations, like the RPO Alliance and RPO Association, to develop standards and best practices.
