Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to common questions.

What does an RPO do?

An RPO runs agreed parts of your recruiting process as a managed service. Depending on scope that can mean sourcing only, or the full path from workforce planning through to onboarding handover, delivered by a named team working in your systems.

What are the two types of RPO?

The usual split is enterprise RPO, which is an ongoing program covering continuous hiring, and project RPO, which covers a defined burst such as a new site or a seasonal ramp. Modular engagements, which take a single stage, sit between the two.

What is RPO technology?

RPO technology includes the tools used to support and improve recruiting delivery, such as sourcing, candidate engagement, screening, scheduling, automation, AI and analytics. It can integrate with an organization’s existing ATS and HR technology, adding capabilities and efficiency without necessarily requiring a full technology replacement.
