TROY, Mich. (August 4, 2010) – – The Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) practice of Kelly Outsourcing and Consulting Group (KellyOCG) has been named by HRO Today magazine in its annual RPO Baker’s Dozen list. Currently in its seventh year, the Baker’s Dozen list ranking has become an industry benchmark recognizing the leading players in the Recruitment Process Outsourcing business globally.
The results of the Baker’s Dozen list are based upon a survey completed by HR executives who are current buyers of RPO services. The RPO providers were rated on the breadth of their service, the size of the programs they manage, and the quality of service provided. The survey was grouped into three lists. The Enterprise Baker’s Dozen list which has been generated by HRO Today for seven years lists the top providers in RPO. The magazine also names the top Global Market Leaders and the top Mid-Market and On-Demand Providers.
KellyOCG is one of only four companies to be named to the Enterprise Baker’s Dozen list for the seventh consecutive year. Additionally, KellyOCG is among the top three percent of the 300+ RPO companies evaluated by HROA and one of eight RPO providers worldwide included on the Global Market Leaders list.
“As organizations prepare for the upcoming months, with economic growth pending, recruitment process outsourcing may be a business case for companies looking to gain the best talent while keeping strategic play at their fingertips,” said Candy Lewandowski, vice president and global practice leader for RPO, KellyOCG. “The Baker’s Dozen provides companies with the information on key players in the RPO industry and we are happy to be included in this list again this year.”
According to Elliott Clark, CEO of HRO Today magazine, “KellyOCG has been one of the top 13 companies in the RPO industry to be included in the RPO Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Survey every year since it was created. A stalwart industry leader with deep expertise in consulting, program design, execution and international capabilities, Kelly is also listed on our Global Market Leaders list and has a global footprint that rivals any of its competitors.”
