As the business landscape navigates the currents of economic uncertainty, companies are seeking innovative strategies to streamline operations and optimise their workforce. Seven Search and Selection, long-standing consumer and retail recruitment agency, stands at the forefront of this transformative trend, demonstrating how Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is revolutionising the way businesses manage their talent acquisition processes.
In this post-pandemic, post-Brexit era, businesses are striving to remain agile and competitive. RPO (where a business outsources all or part of its recruitment activities to an external provider) has emerged as a strategic and flexible solution that enables companies to quickly harness external expertise to navigate talent acquisition challenges with finesse. RPO not only provides cost-effective solutions but also enhances efficiency, scalability, and adaptability in the face of economic fluctuations.
Liam Stokey, Director at Seven Search and Selection, states, “At Seven, we believe that RPO works beyond the conventional confines of traditional recruitment models. By outsourcing recruitment processes, businesses can focus on their core competencies while leveraging our specialised expertise in FMCG, consumer and retail recruitment. This partnership approach allows companies to weather economic uncertainties and keep an eye on headcount, while maintaining their commitment to quality talent acquisition.”
Seven Search and Selection’s trailblazing approach to RPO has garnered attention from industry giants, including Hovis, Ocado, Premier Foods, and Aldi. These successful partnerships (Seven have looked after all of Hovis’s recruitment for more than 5 years now) exemplify the effectiveness of RPO in aligning recruitment strategies with business goals and market demands.
Donnah Hannah, Hovis’s Head of HR – Organisational Development and Support, attests, “Seven truly understand Hovis and integrate seamlessly into our business. For the last 5 years they have worked in partnership with us to educate internally, attract top talent and provide an exceptional candidate experience. Our RPO relationship with Seven doesn’t only save time and cost for hiring managers in the short-term, but their focus on talent pooling and recruitment strategy sets us up for future success.”
As thought leaders in the recruitment sector, Seven Search and Selection continues to pioneer innovative strategies that shape the industry’s landscape. The company’s RPO offering isn’t just a service; it’s a strategic collaboration that addresses challenges, fosters growth, and propels businesses towards sustainable success.
