What Is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a recruitment business partners with a specialist provider to handle essential but time-consuming tasks. These can include candidate record management, right-to-work checks, interview scheduling, payroll, and client communication. Instead of hiring more in-house staff, agencies use RPO to access skilled professionals trained in recruitment systems and compliance. Outsourced recruitment support reduces costs, speeds up placements, improves accuracy, and gives consultants more time to focus on client relationships and candidate engagement.
