You might recognise it: recruitment is peaking, deadlines are looming and good candidates seem unattainable. Internal teams do what they can, but it feels like you are always just behind the times. You know you need to do things differently. But how do you organise recruitment in such a way that it also works in the long term?
For many organisations, calling in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is then not a quick fix, but a strategic choice. Read here how an RPO helps you not only get your recruitment in order, but structurally strengthen it.
From support to strategic partnership
An RPO has long since ceased to be suitable only for large organisations or companies with hundreds of vacancies. It is precisely those organisations that want to organise their recruitment in a smarter and more sustainable way that more often opt for an RPO. Not as a replacement for internal recruiters, but as an extension: someone who thinks, works and builds with them.
A good RPO model brings structure, capacity and expertise into one solution. Think about:
- The right labour market communication and employer branding
- Data-driven sourcing & selection
- Continuous process optimisation
- Support with onboarding and retention
When is it smart to consider RPO?
Waiting until recruitment really becomes a problem may not be practical, and it doesn't have to be. Just before the pressure gets too high, it is wise to look at Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions and whether it works for your organisation. That way, you'll ensure that vacancies don't remain unfilled and your recruiters have the space to do their job properly.
Is this familiar to you within your organisation?
- Your organisation is growing rapidly or is in the midst of change, so the demand for new talent suddenly increases.
- Your internal recruiters are busy and sometimes lack the specialist knowledge needed for certain positions.
- Vacancies stay open longer than desired, causing good candidates to drop out.
- Hiring managers need more support in the recruitment process.
- There is insufficient focus on labour market communication and employer branding to reach the right target group.
- You have little or no up-to-date insight into the overall recruitment performance.
If these points seem familiar to you, RPO could be a smart move. It gives you the flexibility to deploy recruitment capacity and expertise without hiring additional staff right away. It gives you control over your recruitment process, prevents inefficiencies and ensures faster results and a better overview.
