Want to be sure what RPO is the best choice for your company?

Julia Koblischke, Business Development Manager

  • RPO is a strategic partnership where we manage all or part of your recruitment process as an embedded extension of your team. Unlike staffing agencies, which focus on filling individual roles, we provide end-to-end recruitment solutions aligned with your long-term business goals, culture, and scalability needs. You can learn more about RPO in this blog article.

  • We provide flexible solutions tailored to your needs:

    • End-to-End RPO: Full-cycle recruitment ownership

    • Hybrid RPO: Shared responsibility with your internal team

    • Project RPO: Time-bound support for specific initiatives

    • On-Demand RPO: Pre-integrated recruitment on standby, ready to activate when needed

    • Talent Sourcing: We find and qualify top talent - you make the final hiring decision

  • RPO is ideal when you’re scaling rapidly, entering new markets, facing high recruitment costs, struggling with slow hiring, or need more strategic talent acquisition capabilities without increasing internal headcount.

  • No. With the right RPO model, you retain full strategic control. You set the priorities, give approvals, and make the final hiring decision. Our role is to execute the process with excellence - not to replace your judgment. Concerns about control typically arise from a mismatched RPO model or unclear scope, which we prevent through careful partnership design. Check out our breakdown of other common concerns and misconceptions about RPO.

  • We typically integrate within 2 - 4 weeks, though urgent or project-based support can be activated even faster. The exact timeline depends on the complexity and model chosen.

  • Absolutely. With our custom RPO solutions, like Hybrid RPO, you choose exactly what you want us to manage - sourcing, screening, assessments, and scheduling, to the entire end-to-end recruitment process.

  • Serendi specializes in hiring across Europe with additional support in APAC, LATAM, and North America. Our teams offer localized expertise in language, market practices, compliance, and talent engagement - ensuring effective recruitment in both mature and emerging markets.

  • Our clients see a strong measurable ROI through several key outcomes:

    • 20-50% lower cost-per-hire

    • 30-70% faster time-to-hire

    • Higher-quality candidates and better retention

    • Stronger talent pipelines

  • RPO delivers a more consistent, professional, and engaging candidate journey through structured processes, timely communication with human-touch, and tech-enabled coordination - strengthening your employer brand in the market.

  • Our recruiters are trained in behavioral engagement and employer branding. We emphasize transparency, respect, and timely feedback at every touchpoint, ensuring candidates remain engaged and valued - even those not selected.

  • Not unless you prefer it. We operate under your brand - using your tone, systems, and values - to deliver a seamless experience that feels entirely native to your organization.
