RPO

RPO refers to the outsourcing of a business’s whole recruitment process to a third-party provider. The RPO provider serves as an extension of the internal HR team, managing activities such as sourcing, screening, interviewing, onboarding, and reporting. RPO helps improve scalability, reduce hiring costs, enhance the quality of hire, and accelerate time-to-fill. It is commonly used for high-volume or specialised hiring needs.
