“Of late, the organizations are adopting social media to source, advertise job vacancies, and generate leads for the best candidate. Payroll outsourcing firms worldwide are tapping social networking sites and the Internet to identify and screen potential talent and experienced people. Firms are also performing checks on professional and personal history of their staff members to obtain an insight into their personality,” says Amit Sharma, Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research

BFSI is the largest end-user of HRO, accounting for 35% of the overall market revenue. Current economic volatility is exerting pressure on financial organizations to redefine their business processes and operating models. The growing costs due to changing labor laws and employment regulations coupled with the increasing awareness about HRO benefits such as staffing flexibility, access to new technology and skills, and greater alignment between HR and business are some of the key factors driving the BFSI segment’s growth in this market.
