Process Management

As many companies increasingly concentrate on their core business activities, organisations globally have been actively outsourcing their internal back office and administrative functions.While the trend for overall HRM outsourcing has been in place for some years, the management of the recruitment function has not been separately controlled. It has simply been considered part of the overall HR outsourcing. As a result, the outsourcing of the recruitment process has been largely ineffectual. Therefore many companies have had to keep the management of the recruitment process as an internal function, with the implied increase in costs.
That is until now! The Avancos RPM solution is designed to deliver a flexible and scalable recruitment process to our clients worldwide.
In order for a company to attract both the quality as well as the quantity of candidates required it needs either an effective internal recruitment team, with systems, processes, infrastructure and a global network of partners or the decision is made to outsource the function.
Our goal through the Avancos RPM service is to increase the level of candidate quality, and the number of actual hires while reducing the overall costs of recruitment.
Previous projects have delivered a vastly increased level of hires into the company with, on average, a 30% reduction in overall recruitment cost.
The unique and totally scalable Avancos RPM system and process is used by companies of all sizes to overcome their recruitment challenge.
With Avancos handling the process from the time of initial headcount approval right through to a candidate’s first day of employment, or as designed individually for the client, a total recruitment solution is delivered, using all avenues for candidate attraction and selection.
Avancos RPM gives you the scalability and flexibility you need to get the results from your recruitment, and when combined with the other Avancos services, Avancos Executive Search and Avancos Global Sourcing, will provide a total solution that is unparalleled in the market.

Global Sourcing

One of the main problems our clients face is sourcing enough potential candidates in order for them to be able to reach their internal recruiting goals.
Traditional passive methods of recruitment such as printed advertising or company job boards simply no longer drive the volume of candidates needed and are very expensive.
Market trends across Europe and North America clearly show that fewer and fewer people are reading job advertisements in newspapers, and are therefore not responding to them.
In order to source the quantity of candidates required a new approach and thinking is needed for today’s market. That is where the Avancos global sourcing service is helping our clients across our target industry sectors.
The service is designed with the client in mind who has an internal recruitment team in place. The problem is getting enough candidates into their pipeline in order to make the placements needed to reach the internal recruiting targets.
