Recruitment Process
Outsourcing

We work as an extension of your talent function, taking time to understand your hiring goals before we design a solution.

Whether you need end to end delivery, a time bound project team, or support with specific stages of your process, we tailor our RPO model to fit.

Explore our RPO models below.

RPO: Recruitment
Process Outsourcing

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is where an organisation outsources some or all of its recruitment activity to an external partner, who takes on responsibility for managing that activity against agreed standards, timelines and reporting. Unlike a standard recruitment agency relationship, RPO is a partnership model where the provider becomes an extension of the client’s own talent function, rather than a transactional supplier filling individual vacancies.

There is no single way to run RPO. The right model depends on the scope of roles involved, hiring volumes, how much control our client wants to retain, and whether the need is ongoing or time bound. The sections below set out the models we offer, so a solution can be shaped around what actually fits your hiring pattern rather than a one size fits all approach.

Our RPO Models

From specific elements of the recruitment process through to full outsourcing.

End-to-End

Full ownership of the entire recruitment process

Project RPO

For time-bound or project requirements

Modular RPO

Outsourcing specific elements of your hiring process

End to End RPO

We take ownership of the entire recruitment process, most commonly used where all hiring is permanent, or all hiring is within a single business unit or department. A dedicated team, embedded in your processes and systems, manages the full candidate journey from requisition to onboarding.

  • Single accountable partner for the whole recruitment process
  • Dedicated account team, sized and structured to match your hiring volumes
  • End to end process to include sourcing, screening, assessment, interview coordination, offer management and onboarding support, tailored to reflect your specific requirements
  • Consistent reporting and management information, mutually agreed at the start of the relationship
  • Our dedicated team can work on your site, or directly within your own systems and processes, functioning as an extension of your internal talent function rather than an external supplier
  • Can be fully white labelled, including where we provide an ATS solution to support delivery
  • Seamlessly aligns with your culture, hiring managers and employer brand

Project RPO

Where a time bound or project based requirement is built around a specific need, such as a new site opening, a seasonal peak, or a one off volume hiring campaign. We mobilise a project team quickly, scaled to the requirement, and stand it down once the campaign is delivered.

  • Rapid mobilisation against a clearly scoped, fixed term requirement
  • Can include all the elements of an End to End model or Modular RPO dependant upon your requirements
  • Resourcing flexed up or down as the campaign progresses
  • Clear success criteria and timeline for completion agreed before go live
  • No ongoing commitment once the project concludes

Modular RPO

We take on specific parts of the recruitment process while you retain the rest. Common examples include outsourcing sourcing and initial screening only or where we manage the process once suitable candidates have been identified.

  • Scope is agreed by role type, process stage, or a combination of both
  • The split between outsourced and retained activity can flex as needs change
  • Allows internal teams focus their time where it adds most value
  • A practical entry point for clients not yet ready for full RPO

How We Deliver, Whatever the Model

Whichever model, or combination of models, fits your requirement, every RPO engagement is built around the same foundations:

  • A named, dedicated account lead who is your single point of contact
  • A process which is tailored to fit your requirements which can include compliance and vetting checks completed to UK regulatory standards before any placement
  • Agreed reporting and management information, so you have visibility of progress and candidate pipeline throughout
  • A candidate experience that reflects your employer brand, not just ours
  • Access to PROMAN Group’s wider resourcing network for additional surge capacity when volumes spikes
