LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., September 20, 2013 – For the fifth consecutive year, Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), has been ranked as one of the top recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) providers in HRO Today magazine’s RPO Baker’s Dozen list, an industry benchmark recognizing the leading providers in the RPO business globally.

The annual ranking of the top 13 global providers is developed based on a survey of more than 900 RPO buyers. Rankings are based on quality of service, breadth of service and size of engagement.

“Recruitment process outsourcing must do far more than achieve cost efficiencies--it should transform an organization’s ability to attract, onboard and retain high-performing talent,” said Kathy Kalstrup, senior vice president and Global RPO leader, at Aon Hewitt. “Our RPO business helps organizations find great talent, lower costs, increase productivity and retention and deliver a best-in-class hiring manager and candidate experience. We are proud to receive this recognition from HRO Today, as it underscores our commitment to empowering results for our clients through partnership, innovation, talent, excellence and results.”

Aon Hewitt’s RPO clients endorsed Aon Hewitt’s ranking on the Baker’s Dozen list.

“My expectations were wildly surpassed by the plan we put in place with Aon Hewitt to recruit our newest team members. Aon Hewitt’s team and technology are a big reason for that,” said Lisa Rexroat-Steele, vice president of Human Resources, Horseshoe Casinos Cincinnati. “We asked a lot of Aon Hewitt, in a short amount of time, and they came through. I know we made the right choice in a partner.” 

“Aon Hewitt is a long standing partner that plays a critical role in BMO's operations,” said Manisha Burman, vice president Talent Acquisition, BMO Financial Group. “The service they provide to our employees is fundamental to our business. Our deep relationship with the Aon Hewitt team has been key to our success.” 

Aon Hewitt combines its human capital expertise with the science of assessment, engagement, compensation and talent to deliver both project based and end-to-end talent acquisition solutions. It designs, builds and operates some of the largest RPO programs in the industry to serve nearly 100 talent acquisition clients, both large and small. Each year, the practice assesses more than 12 million candidates and assists with over 200,000 hires, saving its clients more than $50 million annually through early turnover reduction.
