FAQ
RPO is like building an in-house recruitment team, while agencies are more like takeout services. Agencies fill individual roles reactively, charging 20-25% per hire, whereas RPO embeds a dedicated recruitment function inside your business to manage the entire hiring process for a predictable fee tied to speed, cost, and quality metrics.
Absolutely not. In fact, you’ll gain more control and visibility. You maintain full strategic oversight, approve every shortlist and offer, and own all candidate data. We handle the operational heavy lifting, providing you with real-time dashboards and KPI reports. It’s the control of an in-house team without the administrative burden.
You do. Always. Our role is to ensure your hiring managers have a pipeline of perfectly qualified, pre-vetted candidates and the data-driven insights to choose confidently. We provide the process, people, and expertise, but the final say on every hire is always yours.
We provide a single partner with full accountability for the entire recruitment lifecycle. This includes:
-
Strategy: Workforce planning, recruitment marketing, and diversity goal setting.
-
Execution: Active candidate sourcing, comprehensive screening, interviewing, and assessment coordination.
-
Completion: Offer management, negotiation, and onboarding support.
-
Analysis: Real-time reporting on cost-per-hire, time-to-fill, quality, and overall pipeline health. Nothing is left to chance.
-
In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably to describe a full-lifecycle outsourcing model. A subtle distinction is that Enterprise RPO can imply a global, multi-region scope across an entire organization, while End-to-End RPO emphasizes the completeness of the service (from planning to onboarding) and can be perfectly sized for a specific division, region, or project.
We can launch a pilot program within days, not months. Our priority is to demonstrate value and build trust quickly, starting with your most critical hiring needs.
Yes, seamlessly, and in both directions. This is a core advantage of our model. We can rapidly scale resources monthly to support a sudden growth spurt or a new market entry, and just as efficiently scale down during quieter periods. This ensures maximum efficiency with no wasted resources or cost.
