FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS.

Common leadership and recruitment queries.

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?

RPO is when a company outsources all or part of its recruitment function to a third-party provider. The RPO team acts as an extension of your HR/TA function, handling sourcing, screening, interviewing, and hiring.

How is RPO different from staffing agencies?

Staffing agencies fill individual positions and charge per-placement fees. RPO providers become your recruiting department, managing your entire hiring process with monthly retainers or pay-per-hire models that reduce total cost.

What are the benefits of RPO?

RPO delivers: 30-50% reduction in cost-per-hire, 40% faster time-to-fill, improved candidate quality, scalability during hiring surges, and consistent employer branding across all recruiting touchpoints.

How long does it take to implement RPO?

A full RPO implementation typically takes 4-8 weeks, including technology setup, process alignment, and recruiter training. Project-based RPO can launch in as quickly as 2 weeks.

Do we lose control with RPO?

No. You maintain full control. We work with your ATS, follow your processes, and report on agreed metrics. Think of us as an extension of your team, not a replacement.

What is the pricing model for RPO?

RPO pricing is typically either monthly retainer (for ongoing needs) or pay-per-hire (for project-based work). This is usually more cost-effective than traditional agency fees.
