Information Resources  (IRI), a leading supplier of enterprise market information solutions and services, today announced that it has selected Aon Consulting, a leading pension, benefits and HR consulting firm, as its recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider.  The appointment comes as IRI looks to improve its recruitment processes in order to address a number of challenges in this area.

According to Nick Peligno, business development manager for Aon Consulting: “Up until recently, IRI used two high-cost routes to market: recruitment agencies and traditional media advertising.  The HR department and senior line managers were responsible for hiring decisions, but both were stretched by limited resources.  As a result, the cost per hire was too high and the time taken to fill vacancies too long.”

In order to address these challenges, Aon has introduced an onsite team for IRI and deployed a customised web-based technology system that automates the recruitment process and enables candidates to apply online for vacancies or submit their details for future opportunities via a dedicated recruitment website: http://www.iricareers.com
