MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Adecco's Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) division, part of Adecco S.A., the world's leading recruitment and workforce solutions provider, today is pleased to announce that it has been ranked #2 Enterprise RPO service provider by HRO Today magazine in its annual ranking of top RPO firms.  HRO Today magazine's RPO Baker's Dozen has become the industry's leading authority, and a benchmark for RPO service provider differentiation.

The RPO Baker's Dozen is a critical source for prospective buyers of RPO solutions when considering or selecting an RPO service provider, and 2010 marks the sixth consecutive year Adecco RPO has been ranked in the RPO Baker's Dozen.  In the two most recent years, Adecco RPO climbed from #11 in 2008, to #7 in 2009, to #2 in 2010, demonstrating Adecco RPO's commitment to delivering world-class services to a growing portfolio of domestic and multinational clients.

"Adecco has had significant success very rapidly building a large and impressive client list in RPO.

"Adecco is one of the world's leading employment brands and they have worked diligently to create a top RPO practice to their current clients and attract new clients with this offering. We expect Adecco RPO to continue to be one of the top providers in the RPO community."

Adecco RPO continues to gain market-share and momentum in the RPO industry, while making significant investments into its RPO operations and delivering the most innovative services and solutions in the industry. Since acquiring TalentTrack, LLC, a leading North America RPO firm, in 2007, Adecco has continued its organic growth in RPO, and most recently acquired Beeline RPO as part of the MPS Group acquisition in January 2010.

"We are grateful to our customers for recognizing Adecco RPO as having best-in-class RPO programs, and to Adecco RPO colleagues who are the real champions responsible for our success," said Michael Beygelman, president of Adecco RPO in North America. "This award only further cements our commitment to finding and delivering the most innovative RPO solutions for our customers now and into the future, and to our colleagues for their ongoing commitment to excellence."

Last year Adecco RPO announced being ranked as the #1 provider of RPO by the Black Book of Outsourcing client experience survey. The Datamonitor Company surveyed 600 contracts held by nearly 2500 of the top recruitment process spending organizations and conglomerate corporations globally.  The survey evaluated RPO service providers based on scalability, client adaptability, flexible pricing and best of breed RPO technology, finding Adecco RPO to be today's best in class service provider.
