Recruitment outsourcing encouraged

Outsourcing staff recruitment can help free up Human Resource's (HR) time to concentrate on other things, according to one expert.

Enlisting the help of an agency, such as a sales recruitment consultancy, is not necessarily advisable for professions that are inherently risk adverse, claimed Sian Thomas, deputy director of NHS Employers.

She told the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (Cipd) that "outsourcing works if there is an internal change management process".

Ms Thomas added that she couldn't understand why more firms didn't outsource.
