Thinking about outsourcing your hiring but not sure where to start? Let’s walk through five of the most common questions we get about Recruitment Process Outsourcing—and what it could mean for your business.
What is RPO?
RPO stands for Recruitment Process Outsourcing. It’s when a company outsources all or part of its hiring process to a recruitment partner. Instead of filling roles one by one, RPO gives you a dedicated team that handles sourcing, screening, scheduling, and more, as an extension of your business.
How is RPO different from traditional recruiting or staffing?
Staffing is usually focused on temporary or contract roles. Traditional recruiting often happens one job at a time. RPO is different—it’s long-term, strategic, and built around your hiring goals. We manage multiple roles, build pipelines, and deliver repeatable results.
Is RPO only for large companies?
Not at all! RPO works for companies of all sizes. Whether you’re scaling a new department, hiring in volume, or just need structure in your process, RPO gives you the flexibility to get it done, without overwhelming your internal team.
What parts of the hiring process does an RPO provider manage?
That depends on your needs. We can manage everything from job postings and sourcing to screening, interview coordination, and onboarding. Some clients choose full-cycle support—others want help with specific stages.
How does RPO improve hiring results?
RPO speeds up time-to-fill, improves candidate quality, and reduces cost-per-hire. More importantly, it gives you a repeatable process that scales with your business—so you’re not starting from scratch every time you need to hire.
