Total talent solutions provider Pontoon, part of the Adecco Group, announced that it has launched its first ever recruiter-less RPO product.

Pontoon’s automated product, known as its Recruiterless RXO (Recruitment eXperience Outsourcing) Solution, aims to use technology throughout the recruitment cycle to increase both candidate and hiring manager experience while also reducing cost to the customer and increasing speed to hire.

Pontoon President Corinne Ripoche, commented exclusively to Staffing Industry Analysts, "Recruiterless RXO is a game-changing solution within our industry. We are at a time where companies are struggling to understand how HR tech best enables a positive candidate and hiring experience, we have been able to make this a reality.  In building an ecosystem for our customers, we can offer a complete suite of talent services enabling Pontoon to continue to push the limits of people, process and technology while putting the candidate and client at the center of all that we do."

 Tim Meehan, Pontoon’s VP and Global Head of Emerging Technologies, also commented on the launch, “This is not only disruptive for our client, but for the industry as a whole. We at Pontoon believe this is only the tip of the iceberg as to what we plan to deliver in regards to recruiterless solutions moving forward. The ability for us to hire thousands of people without a single recruiter is truly groundbreaking and a first of its kind in our market.”

Pontoon says a non-automated program with a similar scope of hires would take a large team of dedicated recruiters and coordinators, costing more and slowing down the click-to-hire process significantly.

“We have made hiring this talent as friendly and simple as buying a new pair of shoes online. With just a few clicks the person can be starting his or her new job within days. This will significantly increase the experience and satisfaction levels of both our candidates and client hiring managers,” Meehan said.

Recruitment eXperience Outsourcing focuses on experience of candidates and hiring managers throughout the entire recruitment process.
