FAQs
What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a business partners with an external provider to manage part or all of its recruitment process. The RPO provider operates as an extension of the internal hiring team rather than a traditional recruitment agency.
RPO can cover sourcing, screening, interview coordination, candidate communication, compliance and reporting. The aim is to improve hiring quality, speed and consistency while reducing cost and pressure on internal teams.
How does recruitment process outsourcing work?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing works by embedding an external recruitment team into your existing hiring process. The RPO partner aligns with your systems, brand and hiring needs, then takes ownership of agreed stages of the recruitment lifecycle.
RPO models are flexible, allowing support to scale up or down as hiring demand changes.
Would recruitment process outsourcing work for my business?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing works well for businesses that are hiring at scale, struggling with hard-to-fill roles, or experiencing pressure on internal recruitment teams. It is also effective in regulated or compliance-heavy environments.
Modern RPO models are flexible and suitable for small, medium and growing organisations - not just large enterprises. If your business needs more hiring capacity, better sourcing or a more consistent recruitment process, RPO is likely to be a good fit.
