Recruitment Process Outsourcing Model

Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is where an external partner runs part or all of your recruitment process — sourcing, screening, coordination and reporting — under your brand and governance. This explains the model and how to think about it, with no guarantees.

What RPO can cover

  • End-to-end recruitment or specific stages.
  • Sourcing, screening and interview coordination.
  • Employer-brand-aligned candidate experience.
  • Reporting and process management.

When RPO tends to fit

  • Sustained or scaling hiring volume.
  • A need for process consistency and reporting.
  • Limited in-house recruiting capacity.
  • A defined scope you can govern.

Considerations

  • Define scope, roles and decision rights clearly.
  • Agree SLAs and a governance cadence.
  • Confirm data ownership and candidate-data handling.
  • Plan transition in and out.
