RPO FAQs

What is RPO recruitment?

RPO stands for Recruitment Process Outsourcing. It is a model where a company outsources part or all of its recruitment function to an external partner.

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies that work per placement, RPO providers embed recruiters into your business, manage hiring end to end, and operate on a fixed or structured cost model.

How does RPO differ from a recruitment agency?

A recruitment agency typically charges a percentage fee per hire.

An RPO model provides ongoing recruitment support for a fixed monthly cost. Instead of filling individual roles, an RPO partner manages your full hiring process, including workforce planning, sourcing strategy, hiring manager coordination, and reporting.

For SMEs hiring consistently, RPO reduces overall recruitment spend compared to agency reliance.

Is RPO suitable for SMEs?

Yes. RPO is increasingly used by SMEs with 20 to 250 employees who are scaling.

When hiring becomes consistent or exceeds 5 to 10 roles per year, embedded recruitment provides structure, cost control, and process maturity without building a full in house talent acquisition team.

How much does RPO cost?

RPO pricing depends on hiring volume, scope, and level of support required.

Most SMEs move to RPO when they realise agency fees are unpredictable and increasing with growth. A fixed monthly RPO model often reduces overall spend by 50 to 70 percent compared to placement fees.

When should a company move from agencies to RPO?

Companies typically transition to RPO when:

• Agency spend becomes difficult to predict
• Hiring volume increases year on year
• Leadership time is heavily involved in recruitment
• Internal processes lack structure or reporting

If hiring is becoming operationally complex, RPO usually delivers stronger long term efficiency.

How long does it take to implement an RPO solution?

Implementation timelines vary, but most SMEs can have a dedicated recruiter in place within 5 days after an initial diagnostic review.
