"Our business is growing at a healthy pace because our clients -- from North America to Asia -- recognize that partnering with a global expert in recruitment and hiring gives them an edge in today's fierce competition for talent, and improves productivity," said Sheldon Schur, vice president and general manager of Manpower Business Solutions, a business line of Manpower Inc.

Manpower Business Solutions is responsible for the end-to-end recruitment process at a broad array of organizations throughout the world, including Cisco Systems and Visteon Corp. in the United States, CustomCall in Australia and the Hertfordshire County Council Recruitment Centre in the United Kingdom. Demand for RPO solutions is growing rapidly as employers seek ways to manage expenses and compete globally for talent, according to HRO Today magazine.
