What Is RPO Recruiting & Its Business Benefits?


Most companies are stretched thin when it comes to resources and manpower. However, quality recruiting is absolutely essential to the lifeblood of your business and ensuring that manpower is available to reach all of your business goals. 

So, what’s the solution?

RPO Recruiting may be the answer to the dilemma faced by most companies: How do I find the best talent for my company while still efficiently running other aspects of my business?

In this article, we will explain what RPO Recruiting is and the many ways it could benefit your business. 

What Is RPO Recruiting?

RPO is short for “Recruiting Process Outsourcing.” In this recruiting model, companies hire a third party to take care of recruiting for your company from beginning to end. Instead of taking time and resources away from your already busy company, you would partner with a company whose sole focus is to recruit and hire the right people for your vacancies.

But RPO Recruiting is more to it than just “filling vacancies.” It helps improve your recruiting process to bring in the best talent you don’t have the time or manpower to find yourself.

Benefits of RPO Recruiting

If you’re still on the fence if RPO Recruiting would be the best recruiting model for your business, consider some of the many benefits that you will experience immediately and long-term. 

  1. Better Talent

Third-party companies have the time and resources to cast a wider net into a bigger recruiting pool. That means they aren’t under the same pressure to hire anyone because they need the help. Instead, they are finding only the best and brightest of any industry to recruit from.

  1. Lower Costs

In the “time is money” business world, finding the right candidate fast will save on the time and costs associated with your HR department recruiting on its own. According to a study from Glass Door, it costs an average of $4,000 to recruit and hire each employee. By outsourcing, you will significantly lower this cost in the long run. 

  1. Flexibility

Companies have seasons of needing a lot of candidates and other seasons where the vacancies only trickle in. RPO allows you to scale up and down depending on your company’s needs without putting undue stress and pressure on your HR department. 

  1. Data Collection

In the end, your goal is to refine the recruitment process as a whole. RPO companies can collect data on what is working and not working in their attempts to find you the best talent. This can then be used to finely hone the whole process and make it even more efficient. 

  1. Faster Hiring

With access to a much wider pool of pre-vetted candidates, the amount of time it takes to find the best fit for your opening is drastically reduced with an RPO company. They have interested parties with the right experience and credentials ready to move into whatever vacancy you have. 

With all the benefits to your business and all the resources you will be able to save by outsourcing, it might be time for you to consider partnering with an RPO company to fill all of your job openings with the perfect candidate.
