PeopleScout, a leading provider of recruitment process
outsourcing services that recruits more than 350,000 candidates for
full-time positions with some of the world’s best-known companies,
has joined the newly launched Ready to Work Business
Collaborative. The Ready to Work Business Collaborative (RTWBC)
is a non-partisan initiative to help employers achieve their goals
by hiring highly capable candidates, including the long-term
unemployed and veterans, who may have been inadvertently overlooked
in traditional recruitment.
“We’re proud to play an active role in the Ready to Work
Business Collaborative,” TrueBlue COO Patrick Beharelle said.
“PeopleScout and the TrueBlue companies regularly place U.S.
Military veterans in full-time employment, so we offer expertise
that can be very valuable toward the Collaborative’s goals."
“We understand that there are thousands of great candidates for
jobs who, through no fault of their own, may be wrongly perceived
by potential employers as less attractive for a position simply
because they have been out of work for a longer time,” PeopleScout
President Taryn Owen said. “We’re excited to work with RTWBC and
use our experience to develop policies and programs that will help
reconnect the long-term unemployed with meaningful work.”
"The Ready To Work Business Collaborative is excited that
PeopleScout supports the first quarterly convening of employers who
will learn about best practices in hiring ready to work
candidates,” said Beverly Riddick, Executive Director, Ready To
Work Business Collaborative. “At this event, human resource and
recruitment professionals will build a toolkit that employers can
use at every step of the hiring process as they tap the talent
pools of long-term unemployed, under-employed, veterans, the
disabled and young workers seeking opportunities.”
According to Riddick, research shows that ready to work
employees, such as the long-term unemployed and veterans, have an
above-average retention rate compared to other employees in the
same industry.
Beharelle and Owen both recently attended a meeting at the White
House with Obama Administration officials and other business
leaders participating in the RTWBC. PeopleScout representatives
will join other business leaders at the first quarterly meeting of
employers that will be held on March 15, 2017 in New York City.
