Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Your hiring, run by recruiters who work as part of your team.

When a run of roles opens at once, our recruiters take on the sourcing, screening and scheduling, inside your process and under your brand.

A recruiting team that plugs into yours

Recruitment Process Outsourcing hands some or all of your hiring to a recruiting team assigned to you. Ours works inside your process: your stages, your tools where you'd like us in them, and your idea of a good hire.

Every decision stays with you. Our job is getting the right people in front of you, at a steady pace.

Where RPO helps most

Signs it fits:

  • Several roles to fill over the next few months
  • An internal team without the time or reach to run every search
  • A need for the same screening standard on every hire

Other routes: for one or two people, see Direct Hire or Managed Service. For a senior leader, see Executive Search.

How an RPO plan runs

  1. 1

    Scope the plan. The roles, the timing, your stages and who signs off each decision.

  2. 2

    Agree the setup. How we work with your team, which tools we use, and when we report.

  3. 3

    Search and screen. We look widely for each role and pass on only the candidates who fit its brief, tested and checked. Early introductions tend to arrive within days.

  4. 4

    Interviews and offers. We schedule interviews, gather feedback and keep candidates moving. You choose, and you make the offers.

  5. 5

    Review and adjust. Progress reviews happen on the rhythm we agreed, and the plan shifts as your needs do.

A team fee plus a fee per hire

The cost of an RPO plan depends on the roles and the scope, and we take you through it once we've seen the roles. Billing combines a monthly fee for the recruiting team with a fee for each person who joins.

Inside the plan:

  • A recruiting team assigned to your roles
  • Sourcing, screening and testing against every brief
  • Background and reference checks
  • Interview scheduling and candidate updates
  • Progress reporting

What the price reflects: the number of roles, how specialized they are, and how long the plan runs.
