MELVILLE, N.Y., March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adecco's Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) division, a member of Adecco Solutions and part of the world's leading recruitment and workforce solutions provider, today is pleased to announce that the SI has selected Adecco RPO as its partner for full lifecycle, enterprise-wide recruitment services.  The SI's scalable systems engineering platform for modeling, simulation and analysis helps customers baseline their requirements, optimize resources and manage risk.  The SI has a 40-year history of successfully delivering system-of-systems technology solutions.  The SI is headquartered in Valley Forge, Pa., and has other major locations in Maryland and Virginia.

"We're very pleased with the recruitment program that we've co-developed with our partner Adecco RPO," said James Mesick, the SI's senior manager for Workforce Planning and Solutions.  "After thoroughly weighing our options, we became convinced that not only was Adecco RPO uniquely qualified to fill our positions requiring security clearances, they were also the most proficient recruitment process experts in the RPO space.  Their talented staff is fully committed to driving a balance of recruitment process innovation and compliance, which is a critical requirement within our industry sector."
