Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?

Recruitment process outsourcing is a form of business process outsourcing where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment activities to an external provider. An RPO provider acts as an extension of the organisation’s HR or talent acquisition team, managing sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding processes. RPO arrangements can be end-to-end, project-based, or selective, depending on the organisation’s needs. Benefits include reduced cost-per-hire, improved time-to-fill, access to recruitment expertise and technology, and the ability to scale hiring capacity up or down with business demand.
