the situation
When a global provider of IT and networking solutions
engaged Randstad Sourceright as its RPO provider in
2008, the company sought a solution that would boost
its ability to compete for scarce IT talent in the United
States. With more than 70,000 employees globally, the
company's talent needs are greater than those of its
industry competitors. The challenge was to build and
sustain a recruiting capability that would keep up with
the demands of a competitive market, excel at all facets
of talent best practices, adapt to demand fluctuations
and, later, support global growth.
the solution
Randstad Sourceright's agile ROD solution provided vital
recruiter support to the company's in-house team. The
highly flexible RPO solution later grew to include all aspects
of the recruiting process and set the stage for expanding
this flexible on-demand RPO globally.
In 2016, the organization partnered with Randstad Sourceright
to replicate its successful recruiting strategies across
additional regions. Highlights include:
• global ROD.
Internal
recruiters (approximately 350) and Randstad
Sourceright recruiters (approximately 150) work side-
by-side across North America, EMEA and APAC.
• addressing critical roles.
Randstad Sourceright sources difficult-to-fill cloud
and security engineering and services roles, as well as
engineers, technicians, account representatives and
customer service specialists.
• performance management.
Training and upskilling, goal setting, review, and other
performance-related conversations help keep the program
and results on track.
• peer-to-peer recognition program.
Randstad Sourceright partnered with the talent acquisition
team to create a global recognition program that is
supported by legal and HR groups to ensure compliance.
Thirty-two awards were presented in the first 1.5 months.
• global talent acquisition training.
Education programs for key client and RPO talent
acquisition team members include topics such as
employer branding, sourcing, diversity sourcing and
engineering recruiting training.
• flexible and scalable RPO model.
The ROD model provides necessary support to in-house
staff, expanding through the nine-year relationship to
include multi-function recruiter support across all regions.
