Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), one of the fastest growing single-process HRO markets, continued its momentum and grew at 16% in 2013 to reach US$ 1.8 billion in annualized spend. The most mature RPO market, North America, made a strong comeback with a growth of 21%, the highest in the last three years. However, on the other side of the Atlantic, the growth slowed down. After growing at more than 30% in the last three years, growth in APAC moderated while Latin America witnessed strong growth. In addition to the evolving geographic mix, the RPO market is itself evolving into a RPO+ value proposition, enabled through value-added services. Value-added services now play an important role during renewals and will have a distinct bearing on the future of the market.
