What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?

In an RPO engagement, a provider takes ownership of defined stages of your hiring process — sourcing, screening, scheduling, offer management, or the entire funnel — operating as an extension of your talent team and under your employer brand.

Unlike contingency agency work, RPO is a process relationship: the provider is accountable for cycle time, quality of hire, and cost per hire, not just for submitting résumés.

Hiring volume that swings sharply with project cycles.

Roles that are hard to fill and consume disproportionate internal recruiter time.

Organizations without the scale to justify a full internal talent acquisition function.

Time to fill and time to start, quality of hire at 90 and 180 days, offer acceptance rate, source effectiveness, and total cost per hire compared with your internal baseline.
