What is RPO in recruiting?

• Writing job descriptions

• Posting job ads online

• Screening resumes from job candidates

• Conducting interviews with various qualified job candidates

• Making job offers upon approval from the client company

• Other administrative duties that come with recruitment

RPO providers and recruiters are known to use a variety of methods for their recruitment outreach processes, such as:

• Online job boards

• Social media

• Networking and industry events, like job fairs

RPO in recruiting is a popular option for companies that are looking to cut costs when it comes to their hiring process, enhance their hiring process, and improve the talent pool of job candidates they have access to. When outsourcing recruitment efforts to an RPO provider a company can have the advantage of the provider's expertise in recruitment, along with:

• Specific recruitment technology

• Other recruitment tools that the client company does not have

• An expanded network or talent pool of job candidates

• Expert recruiting professionals (RPO recruiters)

RPO providers have the responsibility of understanding each client company's unique needs, and then creating a recruitment method that aligns with the company's hiring goals. To do this RPO recruiters often establish strong and deep relationships with their client companies. They sometimes work on-site from a client company's office, but also can work remotely.

RPO recruiters tend to be highly experienced recruitment professionals that have a command of knowledge and skills in the area of recruitment and best practices. Many can adapt seamlessly to different companies and each of their specific hiring needs and goals. This is because many also work on several recruitment projects at the same time.

RPO providers can give a total recruitment package to a client company that consists of end-to-end recruitment services, outsourcing, and project-based solutions. These also all can be tailored to each individual client company's needs. Some RPO providers also offer additional services like:

• Recruitment analytics

• Talent management

• Employer branding

RPO in recruiting has become very popular recently, particularly with large and global companies. Companies that enlist the services of an RPO provider are able to focus on their business operations and let the provider take care of all of their recruitment needs. This can improve the quality of hires, increase efficiency, and save the client company on costs.
