RPO: What it is

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a commonly used business model in the US, UK, Germany and throughout Asia which Marketpeople is now launching in the Nordics.

In RPO solutions organisations outsource their entire or partial recruitment process to Marketpeople. Marketpeople acts as an extension of the client’s HR department, managing the entire recruiting cycle from candidate marketing and employer branding to candidate’s job offer acceptance.

RPO providers, such as Marketpeople, typically use their own technology, resources, and expertise to manage the client’s recruitment process. This can include sourcing candidates, screening resumes, conducting interviews, performing background checks, and making job offers. Marketpeople can even administrate the onboarding of new employees. The level of involvement of the RPO provider can be customized to fit the needs of each individual client.

RPO solutions is often used by organisations to:

• reduce recruitment costs
• improve the quality of hires
• streamline the recruitment process
• ensure non-biased treatment of all candidates
• strengthen the client’s employer branding

RPO solutions can also help companies scale up or down their recruitment efforts based on their business needs and therefore increase bottom line profitability. Marketpeople can work on a project basis or provide ongoing support.

So, who’s using RPO solutions?

RPO providers, such as Marketpeople, are typically employed by clients of almost all sizes, across a wide range of industries, that need to improve their recruitment process.
