Employers hiring agency recruiters or search specialist for in-house recruitment roles are typically “one-hit options”, bringing onboard just one of this population at a time, according to research by an in-house specialist recruiter.
Of 166 recruitment consultants and search professionals who have recently moved in-house to 147 different employers, just 13 organisations took on more than one from this population, reports Andrew Mountney, founder of Aspen In-house.
Among these 13 employers, he says, were EY, Google, the Financial Conduct Authority, the NHS and Tesco.
Mountney’s research was based on a sample size of 850 recruitment consultants and search professionals who had indicated within the last three years that they wanted to move in-house.
“So identifying clear options within one business to transition in-house are limited,” Mountney tells Recruiter.
“The route to RPO [recruitment process outsourcing] is easier to identify with fewer employers and more options within them,” Mountney goes on to say.
For instance, 21 different RPO providers were represented as employers in the Aspen sample group, he says. Of those, 10 had employed more than one person from the sample.
The largest RPO employers of candidates from the sample group were, in descending order from the top, Resource Solutions, Alexander Mann Solutions, Randstad Sourceright, Allegis Global Solutions and Cielo.
