Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Recruitment Process Outsourcing Market Driver in APAC
The increased use of neo-sourcing is notably driving the market growth. Vendors in APAC have recently changed how they view IT in the BPO sector. BPO operations are clearly moving in the direction of automation, which helps service providers compete more successfully. Many businesses in APAC are attempting to combine their technological and business solutions, not just to cut costs but also to boost creativity and productivity. Neo-sourcing, often known as the combination of IT outsourcing and BPO, is an advancement of the BPO models provided by outsourcing businesses.
Neo-sourcing refers to the coordinated management of technology and back-office operations for process re-engineering that would lead to business transformation and optimization. Process optimization, cost savings, access to the best global practices, greater productivity, boosted employee morale, and shortened cycle times are some of the advantages of this technology, which will enhance the RPO market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Recruitment Process Outsourcing Market Trend in APAC
The evolution of BPaaS is the key trend in the market. The way that business procedures are being outsourced has changed with the adoption of cloud technology. RPO solutions are categorized as business process-as-a-service (BPaaS) and are hosted on remote infrastructure under the management of cloud providers. Some business processes that are being enabled by cloud-based BPOs include recruitment, payroll, finance and accounting, contact centers, and specialized HR solutions.
The emergence of modern technologies in APAC has given IT infrastructure more flexibility, which has increased demand for flexible BPO services. Depending on the scale of their organization, companies can choose RPO services and later adjust them to be competitive in the global market. The need for cloud-based services will increase as BPaaS adoption grows quickly within enterprises, allowing businesses to gain a competitive edge and access to new platform solutions within the IT ecosystem. Such adoption of efficient technology will boost the growth of the RPO market during the forecast period.
Major Recruitment Process Outsourcing Market Challenge in APAC
Regulatory issues is the major challenge in the RPO market. Employment laws and regulations are ever-changing. Businesses are required to keep up with the latest regulations and amendments that affect the workplace. HR workers are under tremendous pressure as a result of changes to payroll, hiring, employee benefits, and grievance procedures. Nowadays, businesses in industries including manufacturing, IT, energy, retail, telecom, and hospitality are moving more and more toward the temporary staffing model. The situation is less competitive compared to the unorganized players because staffing companies must adhere to the legislation that applies to employers of permanent personnel, such as gratuity, bonus, and provident funds.
Moreover, the Employment Act and other laws in nations like Singapore, India, and Japan, along with the ongoing implementation of new rules every year, present a challenge to the recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) business in APAC. Such factors will hamper the growth of the RPO market during the forecast period.
