It seems to me that users alone can't be to blame for their dissatisfaction and low levels of interest, software companies should inspire, provide excellence in their services and function to relieve the stresses and strains of daily workload, combined with departmental leaders that know what to do with the resulting management information we can deliver...win in this way (and I think some of us are trying hard here) and HR users will find software as vital as accounting systems to finance.

But not all outsourcing firms are alike. If you?re outsourcing and not getting better than average results there?s a problem with the firm you hired, not the RPO model. Thousands of companies have realized tremendous efficiencies and cost-savings using the RPO model when all parties involved are fully dedicated to delivering on their part of the process. If the RPO is maintaining its side of the bargain, they will have taken the time to fully understand their clients? needs, including the culture, nuances, and other intangibles that are necessary in finding the perfect candidate. A good RPO firm applies process that takes all of these factors into account. If you?re not getting this added value from an RPO, switch providers!
