HR professionals worldwide are able to access resources and information and upgrade their expertise in their specialty of HR.

Registration for the next virtual conference April 11-12, 2012 in the Recruitment Process Outsourcing track is open now, followed by upcoming events in July and October. The most popular webcast during the recent Recruitment Process Outsourcing conference was “RPO — Make Better Hiring Decisions” presented by Scott Erker, Vice President at DDI – Development Dimensions International. Knowledge and practices gained from the experienced faculty of HR thought leaders can be applied in daily work projects and situations.
“The RPO Institute program at HR.com is yet another indication of the increasing familiarity and interest in outsourcing by HR professionals over the last several years. HR.com’s program provides members with opportunities to learn, best practice share and network with outsourcing professionals and buyers. This ensures they are better prepared to make decisions about how outsourcing and RPO specifically can impact their organization.”
