Vacancies stay open longer, internal recruiters get overloaded and hiring managers feel the increasing pressure. In a tight labour market, successful recruiting is more than posting vacancies: it requires scalable capacity, specialist recruitment knowledge and speed.
Does that seem unachievable? Not if you opt for Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). An RPO offers exactly the flexibility and expertise you need to get a sustainable grip on your recruitment process.
What exactly is RPO?
An RPO is the (partial) outsourcing of your recruitment process to a specialised party. This can be temporary, for example in case of rapid growth, or structural, to make your recruitment organisation more efficient and future-proof.
You retain control over the profile and culture, while an RPO takes care of the implementation: from labour market communication to sourcing, screening, selection and onboarding. On-site, hybrid or completely remote, just what your organisation needs.
Why are more and more organisations opting for an RPO?
Recruitment in this day and age is top sport. The best candidates are often gone before your process has even started properly. At the same time, many organisations struggle with limited internal capacity, fragmented systems and lack of specialist knowledge.
An RPO adds immediate value: with experienced recruiters, smart tooling and scalable processes that help you recruit faster and better. You avoid recruitment pressure, increase the quality of hires and lower your cost-per-hire.
What does an RPO deliver?
- Lower time-to-hire and better candidate
- Quick scaling up or down during recruitment peaks
- Data insight and continuous process optimisation
- Less pressure on HR and hiring managers
- Expertise and capacity that moves with your needsHigher quality of recruitment, without additional permanent FTE
