RPOA FORUMS
RPOA peer forums are groups of four to 10 people with similar job function and company characteristics who meet regularly for confidential conversations to share their challenges, find support and insights, and learn and grow.
All RPOA forums are virtual, with the option of an in-person meeting at the RPOA annual conference. The cadence and focus of each forum are decided by its members. All forums share similar confidentiality rules and meeting formats.
RPOA Forums are set up and run by the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association. Forum members are encouraged to have their company’s support to meet the required commitment and reap the desired outcome.
Testimonial
"I currently belong to a peer group in RPOA, and I really enjoy having a 'safe' forum where we can talk about what we are all seeing in the industry. It not only helps to see what challenges and wins everyone is having, but I also come away from the call with a different perspective on how to approach situations that I am dealing with in my company and with our clients."

Testimonial
"I strongly encourage leaders to join RPOA forums. RPO is still somewhat of an untapped market, specifically in small-to-mid-market companies. Being a member gives visibility into what other RPOs are doing in the market as well as opens up opportunities for learning from industry experts and peer groups."
