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.
