practice of human resources outsourcing is big and growing.

In fact, one respondent in follow-up interviews found that a side
benefit to outsourcing certain HR functions was getting access to
better technology and systems by outsourcing.

The survey found that only 12 percent of the executives said their
companies use a single outsourcing provider, while nine percent said
they plan to do so over the next three years.”
