MEXICO CITY, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup
(NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions,
hosted a conference today in Mexico
City for industry analysts covering the booming Recruitment
Process Outsourcing (RPO) sector, including ManpowerGroup
Solutions' fast-growing RPO offering. Jonas
Prising, ManpowerGroup President of the Americas, detailed
how ManpowerGroup's extensive global footprint and resources
enabled it to meet soaring demand for RPO expertise and services.

ManpowerGroup secured more than 30 significant RPO contracts
worldwide last quarter and has been raising the industry's bar on
both the volume and strategic complexity of RPO engagements. Last
month, ManpowerGroup set an industry record, announcing the world's
largest RPO partnership, valued at $400
million over five years to provide recruiting services for
the Australian Defence Force. Companies are demanding increasingly
sophisticated global workforce strategies that include flexible RPO
solutions to find top talent that will help them achieve their
business objectives.
Today's discussions between ManpowerGroup executives and RPO
clients and leading industry analysts addressed workforce
management and development solutions that enable companies to
fulfil their business strategies while boosting employment
throughout the region. Guest speakers included Jorge Raygoza, Economic Advisor, Secretary of
Economy's office, Mexico, who
discussed the economic landscape in Mexico and Latin
America, factors influencing multinational companies'
expansion to the region and global trends affecting Mexico's workforce and economy, and the
country's governmental priorities and strategies for workforce
development over the next decade.
Central to its expanding RPO operations is Latin America, a region in which ManpowerGroup
has had 50 years of strong leadership presence in developing a
sensitive understanding of local labor and cultural issues. The
company currently has more than 6,500 clients and over 150,000
employees on assignment in Latin
America, with more than 260 offices across the region.
"Latin America has an
increasingly significant role in bolstering the global economy by
building out the innovative and sustainable economic models that
drive regional transformation," Prising said. "However, this region
must overcome a vast skills mismatch and aggressively align its
workforce with employer needs in order to fulfil its growth
expectations. As jobless youth figures soar worldwide and in
the Americas, HR experts must continue collaborating with
governments to effectively develop the right mix of training and
education that makes tomorrow's workforce employable."
Today, ManpowerGroup also published its new Insight paper,
"Modern Outsourcing Strategies Meet The Need for A More Agile
Workforce," which details top recommendations for improving
outsourcing strategies, including phased approaches and how global
reach, combined with local expertise is essential for customizing
outsourcing solutions per employer. The paper can be downloaded at:

"Collaborating in the Human Age is essential and today's
event provided the opportunity for ManpowerGroup to learn from
leading analysts and our clients on their most concerning issues,"
said Kate Donovan, ManpowerGroup
Solutions RPO Managing Director. "We are confident that
participants will return to their organizations with crucial
insight and information about the prime opportunities in
Latin America. As they seek out
the best talent, ManpowerGroup will continue serving as a trusted
partner to help them achieve their goals."
ManpowerGroup ranked Leader and Star Performer in Everest Group
PEAK Matrix, published in the April
2012 Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) — Service
Provider Landscape and Capability Assessment report. In
Latin America, ManpowerGroup is
growing fastest across Mexico and
Brazil.
"Serving over 6,500 employers across Latin America, ManpowerGroup has an expert
view of the region's labor market," said Monica Flores, Regional Director for
ManpowerGroup Mexico and Central
America. "Despite the perfect demographic landscape that
Latin America presents, clients
tell us that their biggest challenge is recruiting the talent they
need to gain competitive advantage. As a result, demand for
ManpowerGroup Solutions' RPO is rapidly increasing here as clients
turn to us to win."
ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jeff
Joerres co-chaired the World Economic Forum in Latin America last month, a significant
milestone in ManpowerGroup's regional leadership, while Flores led
the company's regional delegation at the summit. ManpowerGroup
continues to refine its service offering across South America to reflect changing demographics
and skill sets required by employers.
Earlier this year, Joerres was asked to co-chair the B20 Task
Force on Employment, which will culminate in delivering
recommendations for focused actions to inspire sustainable
employment creation at the G20 Summit in Mexico next month. Also, this week Prising
will share the recommendations at a social partners' consultation
with the G20 Labour and Employment Ministers in Guadalajara, where he is representing the
Chair of the B20 Task Force.
