ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a
leading provider of human resource outsourcing, payroll services,
tax and compliance services, benefits administration and integrated
computing solutions for vehicle dealers, today announced that it
has acquired privately held The RightThing, a leading recruitment
process outsourcing (RPO) provider. The RightThing is also the
parent company of AIRS®, a widely recognized leader in recruitment
training and technology. Terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.
The RightThing acquisition not only broadens ADP's
market-leading HR Business Process Outsourcing (HR BPO)
capabilities, but also complements its existing applicant tracking
and talent management solutions, enabling ADP to build an even more
robust end-to-end talent acquisition portfolio to help clients
establish a highly effective process for managing their
workforce.
"With the addition of The RightThing's industry-leading RPO
services, technology and management team, ADP will not only expand
into a strategic adjacent market, but will also immediately become
a principal player in the RPO industry," said Regina Lee, President of ADP's National Account
Services, Major Account Services, GlobalView and ADP Canada
business units. "Expansion into complementary markets – such as RPO
– will be of great benefit to our clients and is a critical element
in our plan to grow our business. This acquisition underscores
ADP's commitment to help our clients drive business success by
helping them better manage talent, make quality hires and control
costs associated with the recruitment process."
HR organizations are increasingly focused on utilizing cost
effective, scalable recruiting models such as those provided by the
RPO industry. The RightThing solutions and services are among the
most respected in the industry. The RightThing is ranked as a top
RPO provider, according to Everest Research, and has been
recognized by HRO Today magazine as a leading enterprise RPO
provider for the past several years.
"The RightThing, a leader in the RPO market, brings a
standardized model that helps buyers realize significant efficiency
in their recruitment function. ADP will be able to make great
use of this inside its holistic, integrated HR BPO solution," said
Rajesh Ranjan, Research Director at
Everest Group, an advisory firm on global services. "It's a
good match of culture, service model and scale."
"Becoming a part of ADP is a terrific opportunity that enables
us to gain access to the vast global resources needed to
significantly expand our reach," said Terry
Terhark, Chief Executive Officer of The RightThing. "The
combination of ADP and The RightThing will create immediate and
strategic benefits for both businesses in the areas of operational
delivery, service breadth, and leading-edge solutions. In addition,
we expect to deliver a unique value proposition to clients that are
looking for proven HR outsourcing solutions."
