The new procurement market intelligence report analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
Easing up of recruitment policies
Easing up of regulatory frameworks associated with recruitment policies is prompting companies across the globe to adopt a more aggressive hiring environment. For instance, the UK has one of the most flexible recruitment policies in the world. This has led to the recruitment industry in the country posting a growth rate of around 10% in 2015.
Demand for quality hires
Employers seek the services of recruitment agencies to identify experienced and highly qualified and skilled candidates due to the latter’s access to a large talent pool. The outsourcing of the recruitment process also gives buyers access to the expertise of service providers, which can help in identifying best-suited candidates in the shortest possible timeframe.
Need to reduce operational expenses
Organizations outsource their recruitment services to have an effective recruitment experience at a comparatively lower cost in an attempt to reduce their operational costs. The cost in the case of outsourcing is fixed and involves setting fees initially based on the placement’s starting salary, which can vary from 15% to 25% for standard contingency recruitment.
