RPO from Start to finish
A full-service RPO is a long-term solution that handles all aspects of your recruitment process. The RPO provider will take your sourcing, screening, interview scheduling, offer preparation and presentation, employer branding, talent marketing, and onboarding activities.
End-to-end RPO services are typically the most cost-effective and provide the best results, but they are also challenging to implement.
RPO Based on Projects
A project-based RPO is an end-to-end approach that is only used for a specific hiring project, such as opening a new branch of an office, launching a new product, or forming a new team. This is an excellent option if you only need an end-to-end solution for a short period but still want to keep internal processes and capacities for recruiting people.
RPO (selective/hybrid)
A selective RPO is typically used when a company only has issues with one aspect of recruitment, such as sourcing or screening candidates. In this case, a company will hire an RPO provider to handle the element of the recruitment process that is causing issues for the internal team.
Demand-driven Hiring (ROD)
On-demand recruitment entails signing a contract with an RPO provider who is familiar with the company's messaging, processes, and desired outcomes. When there is a surge in hiring or a new business initiative, this model can assist in resolving recruitment issues. However, unlike other types of RPOs, ROD does not result in a transformation of the hiring process.
RPOs Enable you to Focus Your Efforts Where They are Most Effective.
Recruitment process outsourcing is a business process that assists companies by ensuring two things: the company's ability to source the best possible candidates and the company's ability to focus its internal resources on things that matter.
If you decide to use an RPO, you must first determine the type of RPO you require: end-to-end, full-service, or project RPO, selective or hybrid model, or recruiter on demand. Whatever service you choose, it will be far less expensive than hiring a traditional recruiting firm to do your company's staffing.
