Is RPO right for your organization?

 

Historically, RPO provided high-volume hiring for large organizations at a lower cost compared to other recruiting options. However, RPO has evolved over the last few years to become a flexible strategic talent acquisition solution with additional benefits that can be adopted by small and medium-size organizations as well.

Over the past few years, RPO has been trickling down into the smaller and middle market domain as outsourced recruiting becomes applicable to these markets. As a result, smaller, agile RPOs are rising into the higher ranks of strategic recruiting partners and carving their unique niche in the talent acquisition marketplace.

Today, the recruiting environment is rather complex. In order to effectively recruit top talent, you need to navigate a tight labor market; become proficient in a set of relevant technologies; and manage and nurture candidates and hiring managers. RPO providers are subject-matter-experts; talent acquisition is their core competency. They know how to navigate the recruiting environment, stay current with the latest recruiting technology and have the resources to scale recruiting capacity to meet hiring demands. RPOs bring people, technology, process, and metrics into a talent acquisition function.
