Hiring needs are rarely steady – market shifts, project wins, funding rounds, or seasonal peaks can spike demand overnight. Internal recruiters can’t simply double output without losing quality, and bringing in agencies at the last minute is costly and inconsistent. On-Demand RPO exists to give you immediate, embedded capacity that works to your standards, fills roles quickly, and leaves no gap when the surge passes.
Introducing Serendi’s On-Demand RPO: Flexible recruitment capacity, ready when you are
You see the hiring peak coming. Instead of waiting to react, you prepare. With our On-Demand RPO, you pre-reserve your recruitment capacity and get everything set up in advance. We integrate our experts into your tech stack and employer branding, so when the volume hits, your dedicated recruiters are ready to jump in and start sourcing qualified candidates within days, not months.
You only pay a small subscription fee to keep your talent bench on standby. Most of the investment is success-based, aligning our costs directly with your hiring results.

Tailored for unforeseen or hard-to-plan hiring needs, it ensures speed, cost savings, and high-quality results without the commitment of a long-term outsourcing contract.
We quickly align on your hiring goals and then deploy recruiters with the right industry and market expertise directly into your talent acquisition process.
