FAQ

What makes your advisory services different from typical recruiting consultants?

Our advisory services are delivered by talent acquisition practitioners, not generalist consultants — and we stay engaged after the strategy is set to help you put it into action.

How long does a typical engagement take?

It depends on the project and your goals. Some engagements, like an EVP diagnostic, run a few months. Others, like an employer-brand campaign or ongoing market intelligence, can run 12 months or longer.

Can your talent advisory services support us in multiple countries or regions?

Yes. With RPO professionals serving clients in over 70 countries from hub locations spanning the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, we can support global, regional, or single-market consulting engagements.

How is consulting different from the partnership delivered in an existing RPO engagement?

Recruitment advisory engagements start with in-depth discovery into your unique workforce needs, then deliver a customized roadmap on a defined scope and timeline. RPO is an ongoing embedded partnership that runs your day-to-day recruitment. Many customers run both.

Can KellyOCG consultants help me make measurable progress on my inclusion and belonging goals?

Yes. We offer inclusion & belonging guidance that empowers your organization to achieve measurable progress in building an inclusive talent acquisition strategy.

Can you assess my current talent technology ecosystem and offer improvements?

Yes. Our talent technology and digital optimization services optimize your talent technology ecosystem for greater efficiency, integration, automation, and security.

I'm looking to expand into a new region. Can you help?

Our talent market intelligence & insights expertise equips your organization with actionable market intelligence to drive competitive talent strategies, including in new geographic markets.

Can you uncover savings across my workforce spend, including contingent and digital workers?

Our recruitment spend diagnostic identifies cost drivers and uncovers savings opportunities across your entire recruitment spend portfolio, maximizing ROI, not just cutting costs. We’ll review your specific spend categories, including contingent and digital talent, to confirm scope and fit.
