Cloud computing technology could be used by small and medium-sized businesses in the recruitment industry as one expert said that outsourcing will continue to grow in 2011.
Zain Wadee, director of recruitment firm hyphen, said that RPO (recruitment process outsourcing) will grow as businesses look to ‘improve cost and quality of hire’.
In October, PricewaterhouseCoopers reported that the outsourcing market could help alleviate possible job losses in the public and private sector and enable flexibility.
Additionally, it said that organisations with flexible supplies could create new opportunities in the future, with cloud and virtualisation giving small businesses the IT capabilities of a large company.
Mr Wadee added that by using outsourcing, companies can position themselves with other countries abroad and expand their reach in the recruitment market.
He said: “There may well be growth in international RPO deals as organisations look to leverage increasing mobility and strive for consistency of practice and a broadening of RPO services to cover services over and above talent acquisition – particularly around onboarding and talent management.”
