HRO即人力资源外包。

人力资源外包作为一种管理模式，早在20世纪60年代的美国就出现了，其中分成4个板块：研发外包，管理外包，生产外包，营销外包。人力资源外包只是管理外包的一种，因为人力资源活动的独特性主要体现在组织的独有性和外部的稀有性。在企业结合自身经营战略和人力资源战略来决定是外包还是内化的环境中，人才派遣和人才租赁就应运而生，它是一种全新的人力资源配置方式！

HRO是指人力资源外包，它是一种人力资源服务产品，是企业根据需要将某一项或几项人力资源管理工作或职能外包出去，由比如人力资源顾问公司进行管理，以降低人力成本，实现效率最大化。内容包括：发放工资、代缴社保金、档案管理、人力资源规划、薪资调查及方案设计等方面。HRO用工模式即是人力资源外包编制，它是企业灵活用工最常见的形式，专家认为其应当涵盖整个HRO、福利产品、招聘服务、咨询服务、财务服务、行业租赁解决方案多方面的流程管理，从而帮助企业从繁杂的人事管理业务中解脱出来，全身心投入到企业经营和市场等核心工作中。
