TalentFusion Named a Leader in End-to-End Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

Boston, MA - August 5, 2007 – TalentFusion announced that HRO Today has named it one of the top providers of end-to-end RPO services in the 5th annual “Bakers Dozen” survey of Recruitment Process Outsourcing firms.

HRO Today annually conducts a survey of RPO service providers and RPO clients and reports on their findings in the form of their “Bakers Dozen”, the list of the 13 top providers in the category. This year’s survey adopted a new ranking methodology with tighter standards than previous years. The survey comprised 23 qualitative and quantitative questions which resulted in 92 completed customer surveys. The outcome of the survey was an index of three primary criteria; Breadth of Service, Deal Size Index and Quality of Service.

“The capability to sustain high levels of service and quality with a global reach is critical for RPO service providers,” said David Pollard, CEO, TalentFusion. “The growing demand for RPO services requires that customers have a partner they can be assured will deliver whenever and wherever their needs arise. We believe that TalentFusion’s position as a leader in the HRO Today survey demonstrates market recognition of our experience and delivery success.”

The survey also made note of some of TalentFusion’s key customer successes, including U.S. Trust Company. "We were extremely satisfied with the RPO Program that TalentFusion provided U.S. Trust,” said Mike Lowe, SVP of HR and Staffing for U.S. Trust Company. “The TalentFusion team was very responsive to our needs, identified high caliber employees to support our account, and performed beyond our expectations for the duration of the contract. They exceeded the contracted KPI's (Key Process Indicators) on all counts. This was a valued partnership and I found that the TalentFusion leadership participated at a truly strategic level to help design and implement a unique solution for us that was extremely successful. The TalentFusion recruiters were professionals that I was proud to have on my team and they provided a very hands-on, relationship driven service to our hiring managers. In summary, this RPO initiative was a very positive experience for me and U.S. Trust."

TalentFusion has made significant investments over the past two years including the opening of a delivery center operation in Costa Rica, launching a European business unit, expanding its partner relationships in Asia and building a new corporate headquarters facility in Pittsfield, MA. TalentFusion is extremely well positioned to lead the growing demand for global Recruitment Process Outsourcing.
