FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 3, 2008
Troy, MICH. - HRO Today, a leading magazine for the human resources outsourcing industry, released its fifth annual RPO Bakers Dozen list, recognizing the leading players in the Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) business. Kelly HRfirst was named to the list for the fifth consecutive year.
HRfirst is a specialized business unit of Kelly Services, Inc., and has been an industry leader in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) since 1995.
“We believe this is our best survey to date in terms of specific and market aggregate data collected and offers a real service to our readers as they try to analyse the best providers in the space to their needs,” said Elliot Clark, CEO & Chairman of HRO Today magazine, in announcing the much-anticipated awards. “This list represents the top companies in the industry today.”
Now in its fifth year, the awards have become the industry benchmark for RPO service providers globally.
“This is another great recognition for us, and even more exciting given that it’s our clients who have voted for us,” said Candy Lewandowski, vice president RPO for Kelly Services’ Outsourcing and Consulting Group (OCG). “Over the recent past we have become a truly global RPO provider, and this serves to recognize the hard work of our team around the world.”
Kelly HRfirst is an RPO industry pioneer and has helped drive the industry since 1995. With the addition of European RPO specialist access A.G. in 2007, KellyOCG’s RPO Practice has become a leading player in all regions. This was recognized by the HRO Today magazine this year in also naming Kelly HRfirst to the inaugural ‘Global RPO Leaders’ list.
“As we continue to invest in building an even stronger Global RPO offering, it is great to receive customer feedback that we are on the right path,” said Lewandowski. “I think we should all recognize HRO Today magazine for the great work they are doing in promoting this type of industry benchmarking activity.”
