All RPOA forums are virtual, with the option of an annual physical meeting at the RPOA 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.
