Comment on: Blog Post 'The Client Side - Is Agency Recruiting A Bubble Business?': he functionality isn't historical (the roots are in the slave trade, the original body business). But, the baby boom, coupled with the radical changes in gender equity produced a huge logistics problem. As a result, relatively sloppy practices, fat margins and low barriers to entry were the norm.

The RPOs (like Novotus) are taking the fat out of the traditional agency process. With 6% to 7% fees and performance guarantees across all positions, they are almost unstoppable. They have focused on improving performance while actually reducing process costs. For many organizations, the high level of professionalism that will start to emerge in the RPOs will make a big difference. More of the staffing function will get outsourced.
