Evolved recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) partnerships solve complex, strategic business problems, enabling revenue growth and increasing market share for the enterprise.

These are iterative, consultative relationships, where clients assess providers by the yardstick of business value delivered — and success is guided by strategic consensus.

These kinds of evolved partnerships can deliver cultural transformation and profound, bottom-line outcomes that transcend cost savings.

Recruiting is complicated, nuanced and fluid. Delivering the function requires skill, creativity, determination and teamwork. Buyer and provider must work together to optimize recruiting outcomes.

And like any great relationship, provider and client will work better and more closely together when they have shared mutual interest.

RPO gainsharing models are designed to elevate the relationship, incentivizing both parties to focus on activities that generate meaningful business results.

Shifting governance from a focus on penalizing under-performance to one that recognizes and celebrates success gets the provider and client working together differently — increasing creativity, improving collaboration and enhancing stakeholder engagement.

Gainsharing strategies directly tie recruiting outcomes to business outcomes, leveraging improved quality, efficiency, and service in recruiting to drive revenue and enterprise value.

In this webcast,  Greg Karr (LinkedIn profile) Sevenstep Executive Vice President will explore gainsharing in RPO and demonstrate how to:

• Quantify areas of impact
• Benchmark talent acquisition waste
• Create fair gainsharing targets
• Define a measurement timeline
• Compensate for results

We stand on the verge of the 20th anniversary of a curious date: one where, for many reasons, the world didn’t end.

Y2K was a global project of immense proportions, as organizations literally raced against the clock to prevent their information systems from failing as the rest of the world celebrated the dawn of the new millennium.

For the most part, they kept going. This webinar takes a retrospective view of the Y2K project, one of the largest coordinated systems efforts that the world has yet seen; it offers an alternative perspective and far more insight into the management underpinnings of how to manage an effort that was complex, diffuse and world-wide.

In this webinar Peter de Jager will have no choice but to reiterate what the technical problem was, how we got into that sticky situation, what made it a peculiar type of problem, and how the technical issue was ‘fixed.’

More importantly, it will also explore how we shaped our projects to mitigate this unique global problem.

In an hour, this webinar covers a number of significant organizational challenges.

Join Peter for a look back at a global incident that monopolized the activities of nearly all IT departments through the 1990s. Peter will explore what we’ve learned, what we still have to figure out, and what we are perilously close to once again forgetting.

Presenter:  Peter De Jager
