Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a strategic partnership where companies entrust some or all of their recruitment processes to an external service provider. This provider assumes responsibilities such as sourcing, screening, interviewing, and even onboarding, with the goal of optimising the hiring process.
RPO providers handle a range of tasks to enhance the recruitment process:
1. Sourcing: Identifying potential candidates through various channels like job boards, social media, networks, referrals and databases.
2. Screening: Evaluating CV’s, conducting initial assessments, and shortlisting candidates.
3. Interviewing: Conducting initial interviews to assess candidate fit and skills.
4. Coordination: Scheduling interviews, coordinating feedback, and managing communication with candidates.
5. Onboarding: Assisting with the onboarding process, ensuring a seamless transition for hired candidates.
Companies choose RPO for several reasons:
1. Expertise: RPO providers bring specialised knowledge and experience, improving the quality of hires and reach to specific talent pools.
2. Cost-Efficiency: Outsourcing reduces overhead costs related to recruitment, like in-house recruiters, advertising and technology.
3. Time Savings: RPO streamlines processes and improves access to talent pools, leading to faster hiring and reduced time-to-fill.
4. Scalability: RPO allows companies to adjust their recruitment efforts based on demand.
5. Focus on Core Activities: By outsourcing recruiting tasks, companies can concentrate on their core business operations.
6. Access to Technology: RPO providers leverage advanced tools and technology for efficient hiring.
By entrusting recruitment tasks to external experts, businesses can benefit from enhanced efficiency, improved quality of hires, and the ability to focus on their core activities.
