Recruitment Process Outsourcing: Is Your Business Ready?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) sounds like something only global banks do. In reality, it is simply this: a specialist recruitment team works as part of your business, using your brand, your process and your goals. 🤝

Signs you are ready for RPO

• You need to hire 15 or more tech people in the next 12 months
• Your internal talent team is stretched or does not exist
• You are using several agencies and costs keep climbing
• Candidate experience is inconsistent across teams
• You are launching a new program, office or capability centre

What RPO usually includes

1. Resource planning with your leaders
2. Job advertising and employer branding
3. Sourcing, screening and shortlisting
4. Interview coordination and feedback
5. Reference checks and compliance
6. Offer management and onboarding support
7. Contractor management where needed
8. Reporting on time to hire, cost per hire and quality

RPO vs a panel of agencies

A panel gives you lots of CVs and lots of admin. RPO gives you one accountable team, one process and one consistent message to the market. It usually lowers cost per hire once volumes are meaningful.

Questions to ask an RPO provider

• Who will actually work on our roles, and will they stay?
• How do you measure success, and how often will we see reports?
• Can you scale up and down if our plans change?
• How do you handle both permanent and contract roles?
