What Is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?
Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is when a business transfers all or part of its employee hiring process to a third-party provider. The recruitment process outsourcing provider is able to assume responsibility for all of a company’s hiring activities from beginning to end including sourcing talent, screening candidates and onboarding new employees among other things. RPOs use remote talent sourcing agents who specialize in the hiring process and are familiar with the industry they are recruiting for.
Reasons to Use RPO Recruiting Services
Finding and hiring new employees for your business can be both time-consuming and expensive. For this reason many companies are turning to RPO staffing companies to handle the hiring process for them. There are a number of benefits to using the RPO recruiting model.
- Saves time: the longer important positions remain vacant, the bigger the chance of disruptions in your operations. By using recruitment process outsourcing services you can fill positions faster as they have access to talent pools they can draw on with little notice. A remote talent sourcer can quickly find qualified and experience candidates that meet your requirements and ensure they are also a good fit for your company.
- Better quality hires: offshore recruitment process outsourcing firms are very familiar with the industries they hire for and have access to a large talent pool. They know where to find the best talent and what it takes to attract them to your company. While your in-house staff that handles employee recruitment has other responsibilities in addition to hiring, a virtual talent acquisition specialist can focus 100% of their time and effort to finding the best possible candidates to fill vacant positions.
- Flexible: outsourced recruiting services can be adjusted to meet your current hiring requirements. If you have a lot of vacant positions to fill, recruitment activities can be scaled up, while during a slower period recruitment activities can be scaled back. You also have the option to outsource the entire recruitment process or only certain tasks.
- Hiring regulation compliance: every country has different laws and regulations when it comes to hiring. The RPO virtual headhunter that works with your business will be familiar with the labor laws in the regions they serve and will ensure your company is in compliance with the local regulations.
- Reduced recruiting expenses: using a RPO provider will reduce your cost per hire. Working with a RPO recruiter will make the hiring process more efficient and fill vacant positions faster thereby increasing productivity. Recruitment activities can be scaled up or down based on your requirements and you only pay for the services needed. There is also the added benefit of freeing up your in-house HR staff to focus on other activities.
There are 4 main types of RPO services an overseas recruitment agency can provide:
- Project-based RPO services: the project-based RPO model is ideal for jobs or projects that have a specific scope and timeline with defined goals. It is generally used when there are short-term hiring needs for specific projects.
- Recruiters on demand: this is a very flexible RPO model that is perfect for companies with hiring requirements that often vary due to new projects or some other reason. On demand recruitment processing outsourcing service can handle a company’s sudden changes in staffing requirements and ensure your business has the talent you require when you need them.
- Hybrid RPO model: using the hybrid RPO model entails transferring part of the recruitment process to an RPO provider while retaining control of part of the process in-house. Your in-house team can focus on the areas where they are strongest while you outsource the rest.
- End-to-end RPO model: this is a full-service hiring solution where the RPO agency assumes responsibility for the entire recruitment process. The RPO provider takes care of everything from candidate sourcing, interviewing, making offers and the onboarding of new hires among other things. End-to-end RPO services are well suited for a company’s ongoing recruitment needs and could continue for multiple years.
Each RPO model has its advantages and you should evaluate your needs to determine which is best for your company.
Choosing a Good RPO Provider
There are many agencies offering RPO services but not every provider will be able to provide exactly what you need. Here are some of the things you should look for when choosing an RPO provider to partner with.
- Industry knowledge: one of the first things to look at is whether the RPO is familiar with your industry. RPO firms tend to specialize in certain industries and you will want to work with one who is experienced in your field.
- Quality of talent: this is another important factor when selecting a RPO agency. Naturally you want to hire high quality staff to fill important positions. The RPO provider should have a good process for screening and verifying a candidate’s qualifications. They should also be willing to replace the candidate at no charge if the new hire doesn’t work out in the first couple of months.
- Recruitment time: you want to know that the RPO agency can provide the staff you need when you need them. It is important that they be able to meet your schedule.
- Recruitment volume: the size of the talent pool the RPO firm has access to can be a critical factor if you are filling a lot of positions. You need to be sure they can provide the number of personnel you need to hire.
- Regions served: obviously the agency you work with should provide their service in the country you require and have experience in dealing with the rules and regulations governing employment in that country.
- Available services: the RPO staffing company must provide the particular services that you need. Can they take care of compliance issues? Do they handle onboarding new hires and do they offer training. The best RPO companies will be able to offer you a full range of services and adapt them to fit your needs.
- Background: a recruitment process outsourcing agency’s experience working with other companies can tell you a lot about them. Good RPO providers will provide case studies and referrals so that you can check how their performance was when working with other businesses
Choosing an RPO provider to work with is not a decision to be taken lightly as it will affect the future of your business.

Why Choose Our RPO Staffing Services Instead of Doing It Yourself
Outsourcing your employee hiring activities to technician staffing agencies has some definite advantages. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons for outsourcing the recruitment process through our IT recruitment company rather than handling the hiring process in-house.
| Criteria | Our IT Recruiting and Staffing Company | Traditional In-house Recruitment |
| Recruitment focus | We specialize in the IT recruitment process and 100 percent of our focus is on finding top IT talent | In-house recruitment personnel have other responsibilities aside from recruitment so won’t be completely focused on finding and hiring talent |
| Candidate qualifications | Because of the large IT talent pool we have to draw from we can easily find well-qualified candidates to fill positions | It can be difficult to find local IT talent with the qualifications you need, so you may be forced to hire somebody under-qualified and train them into the position |
| Size of talent pool | Qualified IT professionals can be found and hired quickly due to the size of our talent pool | Finding IT professionals that meet your requirements can take months |
| Ability to scale manpower | Our recruiting activities can easily be scaled up or scaled down depending on your current hiring needs | When staffing needs go up you have to hire extra personnel to handle the recruitment process and when volume falls you either have idle employees or have to let somebody go |
| Staff productivity | Using our RPO services will save you money. Faster hires mean increased productivity and you only pay for the recruitment services that you currently need. Associated costs like office space and equipment will be eliminated | You have to pay in-house personnel even when your staffing needs go down and with a longer recruitment process productivity will be lower. |
These are just a few of the reasons why it makes sense to outsource your hiring process to our IT recruitment agency.
