Across the talent acquisition landscape, 77% of companies report difficulty keeping teams right-sized amid unpredictable hiring cycles, according to the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA). Recruiting leaders confront a perfect storm: skills gaps are widening, candidate fraud is on the rise, and AI disrupts every facet of hiring. Only 42% of organizations proactively modernize their recruitment processes when volatility strikes, putting business agility and resilience at risk.

Amid this shake-up, how can organizations make their hiring strategies future-ready, manage compliance, and deliver a standout candidate experience—all at scale? In this episode of the Time to Hire podcast, host Lamees Abourahma sits down with Ted Pierni, Head of Delivery at Robertson and Company, to explore how innovative RPO models can solve today's biggest recruiting pains.
