The Corporate Executive Board Awards Adecco Multiyear RPO Contract

Posted on: Tuesday, 9 December 2008, 08:36 CST

MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Adecco Group North America, the leader in workforce solutions and recruitment, today announced that it has been awarded a multiyear recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) contract with the Corporate Executive Board. Adecco's RPO division will provide the Corporate Executive Board with a comprehensive, full-lifecycle solution for recruitment of Corporate Executive Board sales executives for worldwide deployment.

The Corporate Executive Board (Nasdaq: EXBD) offers more than 50 integrated membership programs built around key executive roles and recurring workflows in such critical functional areas as HR, finance, IT, sales and marketing and operations and procurement. Corporate Executive Board members have direct access to an integrated suite of knowledge resources and more than 300,000 tools including primary analytic insights, customized research briefs, decision-support tools, on-site consulting, executive education seminars and web-based content.

"Our decision to partner with Adecco RPO was driven by their unique business model that delivers comprehensive recruitment solutions including research, sourcing, candidate mining, screening, assessment, selection, and offer management," said Melody Jones, Chief HR Officer of The Corporate Executive Board. "Additionally, research conducted by the firm's Recruiting Roundtable program on how to effectively use RPO to staff key positions instilled confidence in our executive leadership team that Adecco RPO is uniquely qualified to deliver a world-class recruitment solution," she continued.

In August 2007 Adecco acquired the assets of TalentTrack, LLC, a RPO company based in Toledo, Ohio. TalentTrack President Kim Davis and the TalentTrack leadership team remained with Adecco in their respective leadership roles. This acquisition bolstered Adecco's already robust service delivery infrastructure for RPO solutions in North America, and since then has enabled Adecco to capture additional market share by delivering global scale, world-class RPO solutions.

"Scarcity of truly skilled professionals, operational efficiencies and cost savings make RPO a tremendous value proposition for companies like The Corporate Executive Board," said Michael Beygelman, Adecco North America Senior Vice President. Mr. Beygelman continued, "The Corporate Executive Board is a powerful global brand, as evidenced by their extensive member network of over 80% of the Fortune 500, and Adecco is the global leader in workforce solutions, which makes for a great partnership between our organizations."
