I’m currently reading the new Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol, and something outrageous occurred to me. It happened when I was reading the about Freemasons, The Great Seal, and the number 13. It was almost as if I was Robert Langdon and I had just deciphered an encrypted code.
With certainty and clarity, I instantly saw the connections between the Freemasons and HRO Today. Undoubtedly, the RPO Bakers Dozen is analogous to The Great Seal. It can’t be coincidence that 13 Recruitment Process Outsourcing Firms were selected; just as it is no accident that The Great Seal has 13 stars in the crest, 13 stripes in the shield, 13 olive leaves, 13 olives, 13 arrows, 13 feathers on each arrow, 13 letters in E Pluribus Unum, 13 letters in Annuit Coeptis, 13 elements in a pyramid, and 13 levels in the pyramid. Also, did you know that there are 13 letters in “RPO Summit 2009″ and that the upcoming annual HRO/RPO event in NYC is on April 13th 2010?
I began to to see all the possibilities. If HRO Today is part of the legendary Freemason society then RPO could be part of a massive conspiracy to take over the world by controlling most of the world’s employee hiring and selection. What would happen to our society if these employees were truly loyal to the Bakers Dozen and not to their employer?
However, if I put aside the conspriracy therories and accept the Freemason viewpoint, then perhaps the Bakers Dozen and Recruitment Process Outsourcing is a gateway to enlightenment. Perhaps RPO is the key to unlock the mysteries of recruitment, selection, retention, and quality. One is compelled to ask, is RPO the portal to prosperity and happiness?
The answer is difficult, however I do know…“It’s buried out there somewhere.”
