This boom may be in the wake of an U.S. economic downturn as employers who have historically shied away from offshoring may now become more receptive to the idea to cut costs. After the business process outsourcing and knowledge process outsourcing boom, the corporate sector in India is steadily gearing up for a new concept - RPO, which is recruitment process outsourcing. It aims at taking the burden out of the head-hunting. While the RPO concept has taken a healthy shape in the Western countries, in India however, there are only a few RPO firms currently catering to the needs of various domestic as well as multi-nationals in hiring employees for them. The RPO sector in India is currently at its infant stage.

Small business employers are driven, in part, to outsource HR functions because of the increasing cost associated with benefits coverage, combined with a need to provide health care and related benefits comparable to those offered by larger organizations in order to attract and retain employees.
