Chicago , IL - August 4, 2006 - As today's workforce continues to shrink, employers are increasingly turning to outsourced solutions to meet their high-volume hiring needs; however, most technology solutions lack the human touch of live, experienced recruiters. In response, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) leader PeopleScout is helping companies recruit, screen, hire and retain staff with a blend of web-based technology and live recruiters.

The company's redesigned website, unveiled today, reflects PeopleScout's expanded services in recruitment outsourcing, whether it's an end-to-end solution or an individual component in the recruitment process. Located at www.peoplescout.com, the site better illustrates the latest enhancements to the firm's family of services, including recruitment consulting, strategic sourcing, candidate selection, hiring, onboarding and employee retention. Expanded capabilities include not only RPO, but Candidate Process Outsourcing (CPO), Student Recruitment Outsourcing (SRO) and Employee Care Outsourcing (ECO).

To date, People Scout has screened more than 22 million job candidates, facilitated more than 187,000 hires for some of America's largest employers, reduced hiring cycles by as much as 50 percent, and reduced employee turnover by 10 percent. Of greater interest to employers, fill rates have climbed to 97 percent, exceeding the industry standard, candidate quality has improved, and mangers are freed of administrative burdens to focus on strategic issues.

With large-scale live recruitment response centers unique to the RPO world, along with integrated web-based services, PeopleScout's "click or call" approach makes the most of candidate flow and reduces the risk of applicants dropping out of the process. Regardless of an applicant's initial method of inquiry, each individual will speak with an experienced PeopleScout telephone recruiter prior to being scheduled for an interview.

"Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is one of the fastest-growing segments of HRO," explains Karen Browne, Chief Operating Officer of PeopleScout. "For over 15 years we've solved hundreds of high-volume hiring dilemmas and processed millions of hourly and salaried candidates. The new website reflects our commitment to take ownership for every aspect of the recruitment process and improve the outcome. The bottom line is that our HR clients can be more strategic, react more quickly to hiring situations, and cut costs."
