Understanding RPO

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?

A comprehensive talent acquisition solution that transfers your entire recruitment function to us

Complete Recruitment Transformation

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a comprehensive talent acquisition solution where you transfer partial or full responsibility of your recruitment function to a specialized partner. Rather than hiring and managing internal recruiters, you leverage our expertise, infrastructure, and talent networks.

RPO is ideal for companies experiencing rapid growth, launching new divisions, or facing talent acquisition challenges. We become an extension of your HR team, handling sourcing, screening, interviewing coordination, offer management, and onboarding support.

Why RPO? Companies using RPO report 30-40% reduction in time-to-hire, 25-35% cost savings on recruitment, and improved hire quality. You get enterprise-level recruitment without enterprise-level overhead.

Unlike temporary staffing or individual recruitment services, RPO is a strategic partnership focused on building sustainable talent acquisition systems. We work within your culture, understand your business, and continuously optimize your hiring process.

Frequently Asked Questions About RPO

Common questions about recruitment process outsourcing

What's the difference between RPO and recruiters/staffing agencies?
+
RPO is a long-term partnership where we manage your entire recruitment function. Staffing agencies provide individual candidates for specific positions. RPO focuses on building sustainable hiring systems and culture fit, while traditional staffing is transactional.
How much does RPO cost and how is it priced?
+
RPO pricing varies by scope, volume, and model. We typically charge 15-25% of first-year salary per hire, or a fixed monthly fee based on hiring volume. Volume discounts apply. Contact us for customized pricing based on your needs.
Can we scale RPO up or down based on our hiring needs?
+
Absolutely. One key benefit of RPO is flexibility. If you need to hire 10 people one month and 100 the next, we scale immediately without you needing to hire/fire internal recruiters. You pay for the hiring you need.
How do you ensure cultural fit in RPO placements?
+
We invest time understanding your company culture, values, and team dynamics. This cultural assessment is integrated into our screening and interview process. We also provide guidance to your team on evaluating fit.
What reporting and metrics do you provide?

We provide comprehensive RPO dashboards with key metrics: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, applicant volume, quality metrics, and pipeline health. Regular reporting and business reviews ensure transparency and optimization.
Can you handle multiple departments or specialized roles?
