So what is RPO?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing [RPO]


A subset of Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is the contracting out of the recruiting function within the HR department. Simply put, RPO transforms all the functions of an in-house HR department into a solid, productive external recruiting function. By providing the tools, resources, and technology to serve as a client’s virtual recruiting function, RPO services allow companies to grow and focus on their core competencies.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing is a form of business process outsourcing (BPO) where an employer outsources or transfers all or part of its recruitment activities to an external service provider.
