RPO Vendors Approach
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 08:07AM Let me begin with a disclaimer. I used to work with CDI Corporation and have known their Practice Lead, Jennifer Rye-Coughlin for many years. Since I left CDI they have started a RPO practice and thought it'd be best to start vendor responses from them.
I sent the vendors a list of questions and Chris Kilpatrick, VP CDI Pro responded with the following information:
