Happy to introduce our new Global RPO Report which was carried out in early 2011 and obtained views from small, medium and large organizations. In partnership with our research partners the HROA, HR.com and Human Resources Executive magazine, we are able to give a comprehensive overview of the latest trends and insights from the global business community in regard to jobs, skills development and recruitment. The report provides a rare glimpse into the key decisions that will impact businesses, particularly focusing on their workforce needs and the challenges they face in attracting and retaining talent in an uncertain economic environment. It also shines a light on latest developments in the area of recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and reveals where businesses are headed in adopting innovative solutions to the growing challenge of skills shortages.

This fourth annual update will once more be of great value to senior executives, and will help in building a knowledge base around one of the most important set of issues facing business.

To get a deeper insight about the survey outcome I invite you to join the RPO Report webcast.
