  • On-Demand RPO is a flexible hiring solution where Serendi embeds experienced recruiters directly into your team - at short notice. 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.

  • End-to-End RPO is a long-term, full-scale outsourcing partnership that manages the entire hiring cycle - from requisition to onboarding - on an ongoing basis. On-Demand RPO, by contrast, is a flexible standby solution. A dedicated team is ready to activate when hiring surges occur, giving you immediate capacity without the cost of maintaining external recruiters year-round - while still providing embedded expertise and measurable results.

  • On-Demand RPO is best suited for situations where hiring needs are certain but the timing is unpredictable. It provides immediate capacity during seasonal peaks, rapid market entries, post-funding expansions, or when recruitment backlogs need to be cleared quickly. The model is especially effective for mid-sized and enterprise companies that need fast, scalable hiring support without the long-term commitments or high costs of traditional agencies.

  • Yes. On-Demand RPO replaces unpredictable and expensive agency fees with flexible, embedded recruitment support at a predictable cost. You only pay for the capacity you need, with most of the investment tied to successful outcomes. Our On-Demand model aligns cost directly with your hiring output, guaranteeing faster results, higher quality, and a superior candidate experience - all while insulating your budget from volatile hiring markets.

  • When we have your recruiters pre-integrated, they can be activated within one to three days. Because your recruitment team is already pre-briefed and embedded in your systems, we can often have them start sourcing candidates within 48 hours of your request. Our focus is on preparation - ensuring that when you need to activate your On-Demand RPO, your dedicated recruiters can transition from standby to fully operational seamlessly and immediately.

  • No. Our recruiters act as a seamless extension of your team. They operate entirely under your employer brand - using your communication tools, your ATS, and your interview process - to deliver a candidate experience that feels 100% native to your organization. Your employer brand remains front and center; we provide the expert execution behind the scenes.
