Managing costs is a primary business focus for all organizations in any economic climate. The general goal is to optimize business processes and cut operational expenses without diminishing desired outcomes. The ideal result is to reduce costs while also improving business results.

For recruiting—which continues even in the down economy—there are cost reductions and process improvements available especially in the areas of sourcing, assessment, and green recruiting, specifically for expenses for:
• Agencies
• Advertising
• Sourcing
• Turnover
• Paper
• Processing

Real-world examples of results and ROI generated by Taleo customers who have used these strategies include:
• 24% reduction in cost per hire.

• Annualized cost savings of $4 million to $10 million.
