Press Release Body: Global chemical and technology group Dow Corning expects at
least a 20% saving in its annual recruitment costs after implementing a bespoke
recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) package designed by Aon Consulting.

Nick Peligno, business development manager at Aon Consulting, said: "The company has
appointed Aon Consulting as its recruitment partner for a three-year period. Aon
already provides the company with pensions administration services and our knowledge
of the client allowed us to develop an appropriate RPO package speedily.

"Following an audit of Dow Corning's recruitment process it became apparent that
outsourcing the process would allow the company to focus on its core competencies
without significant investment in related technology and personnel. As part of the
RPO package, we have introduced online job advertising on targeted vacancy boards
and revamped the careers section of the company's website. This has allowed the
company to stop using external recruitment agencies with only a third of its
recruitment budget now allocated to traditional off-line media advertising"

Nick Peligno said that RPO provides the Dow Corning management with enhanced data
and the ability to measure recruitment performance more robustly. "We are confident
of building on the achievements made in the first six months of the contract for the
client."

Lyn Evans, UK Human Resources Manager at Dow Corning, said: "The introduction of RPO
has helped us reinvigorate our branding and make Dow Corning an attractive
destination for top talent. Aon created a bespoke package that has already reduced
times taken to recruit candidates and significantly increased the talent pool from
which to make selections. This is all being achieved with savings in annual
recruitment costs of up to 20%."
