Increasing Corporate Demand Prompts OperationsInc
to Launch a Recruitment Management Service
Stamford , CT , January 21, 2004. OperationsInc, one of the area's
fastest growing HR and Operational consulting, services and managed
solutions companies, officially announces the launch of its flexible
Recruitment Management service - a proven alternative to managing time-intensive
recruiting activities in-house or paying sizeable fees to search firms
that relieve only a fraction of the burden.
"What we are offering clients
is a third option for addressing the recruitment process. Traditionally
the first option is to handle this process internally, which involves
substantial time and effort from line managers and/or the HR manager
should one exist internally. The second option is to engage outside
staffing, search or specialty employment agencies; this only slightly
reduces the amount of time spent on extensive communication and paperwork,
and generally comes with a hefty 'price tag' averaging 20% + of the
new hire's annual salary. The third option offered by OperationsInc,
Recruitment Management Service, provides 'the best of both worlds'
in that the client's tremendous administrative burden is almost entirely
eliminated, while recruitment costs are generally 50% less than those
incurred through an agency," said
David J. Lewis, President and Founder of OperationsInc, a provider
of Human Resources and Operational consulting, services and solutions.
With this service, OperationsInc
assumes responsibility for the entire management and administration
of the recruitment process or specific aspects of this process, in
a way that enhances both the productivity and "bottom line" of
the companies it serves. By outsourcing this process to OperationsInc,
not only does a company eliminate the time consuming tasks associated
with managing and administering the recruiting process, they also
secure the expertise of a team of seasoned professionals, who have
perfected the art of writing ad copy and selecting the most effective
venues for posting the ad(s), and whose interviewing skills surpass
those of most internal managers. Additionally, this proficiency results
in a higher speed and productivity at collecting and reviewing resumes,
screening applicants, scheduling interviews, handling high volumes
of inbound calls and emails from candidates and agencies, and communicating
with applicants on the status of their candidacy. Thus, line managers
and/or HR staff can focus their time and energy on strategic business
opportunities and workforce issues. This is in contrast to strictly
utilizing the agency option, which typically reduces only a portion
of the client's administrative and process management burden. For
clients who wish to integrate the agency option and still outsource
this process, OperationsInc can serve as the client's interface
with the agency to ensure speed and remove the process burden from
the client.
Many organizations recognize that having a high-quality workforce
is essential to their success. However, despite today's high number
of job seekers, it remains increasingly difficult to find and attract
talented people - principally because staffing is neither the core
competency nor the primary focus of most employers. This realization
has generated an explosive need for external providers with expertise
in this area to partner with companies to deliver and manage these
services in a flexible, cost-effective and efficient manner.
"Several of our clients expressed
a desire to outsource either select components of their recruitment
activities or overall management of the process to OperationsInc," said
Lewis. "Because
our client servicing team is staffed with seasoned recruitment administration
professionals, we were able to swiftly and skillfully respond to this
need, while also nurturing the natural evolution of our business."
"Clients who have utilized our
Recruitment Management service value the speed at which we perform,
and the depth and breadth of experience that our highly qualified staff
brings to their organizations," Lewis
continued. "The OperationsInc 'team approach' enables our
clients to consistently benefit from our collective knowledge and skills." These
benefits include reduced fixed and variable costs for a total cost
per hire savings, improved candidate-to-hire ratios, increased candidate
and line manager satisfaction, a shortened recruitment cycle time ("time
to hire") achieved through diligent process management and increased
productivity, and a faster "time to productivity" from the
new hire(s).
The Recruitment Management service
provided by OperationsInc is tailored to a client's needs. It can
include any or all of the following: job posting development and recruitment
advertising copy creation; recruitment events management; identifying
and pursuing appropriate candidate sources; screening, testing, and
short-listing; interviewing; candidate tracking and reporting; applicant
communications; interview coordination; pre-employment background screening;
offer administration; and new hire administration.
"Outsourcing recruitment makes
excellent business sense for many organizations. It enables them to
focus their time, effort and resources on revenue-generating initiatives
and competencies that give them a competitive edge in the marketplace,
while simultaneously improving the quality of their workforce and providing
a positive impact on their bottom line," said Lewis.
