Futurestep Announces Houston Service Management Center
North America Facility Joins Bangalore and Shanghai Locations to Reinforce Global Recruitment Processes
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Futurestep, a Korn/Ferry Company (NYSE: KFY) specializing in talent acquisition solutions, today announced the commencement of full operations for its Houston Service Management Center (SMC). Joining the company's Shanghai and Bangalore SMC facilities as part of its standardized global service delivery model, the center provides full lifecycle support for recruiters as they serve clients of the company's RPO, Project-Based Recruitment and Mid-level Recruitment Solutions.
Key activities supported by the facility include recruitment research, candidate sourcing, initial screening and qualification, and recruitment administration. In addition, the Center will be expanded to provide help-desk and talent systems support for its Talent Acquisition Consulting services.
With a team of recruitment consultants and a leading-edge talent management technology and communications infrastructure, the SMC is designed to optimize productivity and responsiveness for recruiters and other client-services resources. The center also enables Futurestep to scale operations quickly in response to client requests to meet unpredicted recruiting peaks that create higher volume hiring requirements. As a highly-efficient resource for facilitating talent acquisition activities, the SMC plays a key role in the success of the company's global full-lifecycle sourcing and recruitment process.
"Futurestep is driving success for its clients through a best-practice recruitment process backed by the most effective talent acquisition service infrastructure in the industry today," said Jeanne MacDonald, VP and General Manager of RPO for Futurestep U.S. "Complementing our SMC centers around the world, the Houston SMC reinforces the truly global recruitment capability that drives Futurestep's leadership in its industry."
"The Houston Service Management Center, along with our Shanghai and Bangalore SMC facilities, ensures that we can continue to leverage a standardized global process and methodology," said Sue Campbell, Managing Director, Service Delivery and Operations, Futurestep APAC. "This is critical to Futurestep's ability to provide the value and business impact our clients have come to expect."
The Houston center is part of Futurestep's global SMC operations model dedicated to supporting the company's services in North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific. Complementing its fully operational centers in Shanghai, China and Bangalore, India, additional Futurestep SMC facilities are planned for Australia-New Zealand and Europe in 2011.
