Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) involves fully or partially outsourcing a company’s internal recruitment function to a specialist firm. The RPO firm takes on the role of the client’s recruiting department, managing the recruiting process and relationships. They provide skills, tools, technologies, and process methodologies to clients in on-site, off-site, or virtual delivery models. RPO is typically used for recruiting direct-hire employees but can also be used for contingent employees with contingent RPO.
