RPO 101

What is RPO?

Understanding Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a form of business process outsourcing where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external service provider. An RPO provider acts as an extension of a company's human resources department, providing a complete recruiting solution.

Key Features of RPO

End-to-End Recruitment

RPO providers manage the entire recruitment process, from job profiling to onboarding new hires.

Technology Integration

RPO firms often bring advanced recruiting technologies and applicant tracking systems to streamline the hiring process.

Employer Branding

RPO partners help develop and maintain a strong employer brand to attract top talent.

Metrics and Analytics

RPO providers offer detailed reporting and analytics to measure the effectiveness of recruiting efforts.

Scalability

RPO solutions can be scaled up or down based on hiring needs, making them suitable for both short-term projects and long-term strategies.
