Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

Simply put, RPO relates to permanent hiring where your provider will manage the full end to end recruitment cycle or just specific parts of the cycle. Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) is a service offering to support the delivery and management of non-permanent or contract resources. RPO is often a solution for long-term hiring strategies whilst CWS offers your organisation flexibility for shorter term or project-based hiring. Together, they offer comprehensive and highly flexible solutions to all your talent needs.

• A recruitment outsourcing provider acts as an embedded extension of an organisation’s talent acquisition team, which can be tailored to your hiring needs - whether it is support for the end-to-end hiring cycle or specific areas. 

• Outsourcing providers find talent through the best channels for the client, including direct sourcing, referrals, internal mobility or engaging staffing agencies 

• RPOs provide insight into both hiring and market activity through data analysis and technology platforms. 

• These providers support the full recruitment process, identifying and implementing ways to improve efficiency and enhance the experience for both clients and candidates.
