Relief for a talent team that’s already stretched

Most talent leaders hesitate before they call an RPO, and the hesitation is usually about what happens to the people already doing the work.

What RPO looks like here

How we approach every engagement, from the first week to the way your team experiences it day to day.

  1. We listen before we change anything

    Onboarding starts with us learning how your team already works, not telling you how it should work. We sit in your meetings, shadow your recruiters, and ask questions before we touch a single process.

    1. Listening first

      We spend the early weeks observing your process before recommending a single change.

    2. Humble by design

      We treat your existing knowledge as the starting point, not something we’re there to override.

    3. Slow to assume, quick to ask

      If something looks broken, we ask why it’s built that way before we fix it.

    4. Earn the seat, don’t take it

      Trust with your hiring managers is built meeting by meeting, not assumed on day one.

  2. We shape the engagement around how you already hire

    We start with your culture, your systems, and the preferences of the hiring managers your recruiters work with every day. That takes longer up front than dropping in a standard model. It’s also the reason our clients stay with us for years instead of running an RFP every renewal cycle.

  3. Pick the model that fits the problem

    You don’t have to hand over the whole function to work with us. Most engagements start with one piece. Choose a model to see which steps it covers.

  4. Our recruiters show up as your recruiters

    We’re branded and represented as your team. Candidates see your name, hiring managers work with people who feel internal, and in some client organizations, the wider organization doesn’t know a third party is involved at all. That’s deliberate. Your employer brand stays yours, and your candidate experience stays consistent.

What this looks like in practice

Celanese brought us in as the SWAT team for the locations their incumbent provider was struggling with. We nearly tripled hiring volume in two years, pulled time to fill down, and moved quality of hire and retention in the right direction.

Caliber's recruiters were buried in volume hiring and losing ground on the roles that drive revenue. We took the volume, branded as their team, and freed more than 70 recruiters to focus on the roles that mattered most.

Follett needed to scale seasonal hiring without disrupting its internal team. We built a dedicated surge program that delivered 8,000 hires in six weeks with zero fulfillment delays.

“One person brought us to four different companies, and all four companies are still our clients today.”

Before you talk to us

Straight answers to common questions.

How do I choose an RPO provider?

When choosing an RPO provider, look at the team assigned to your account, recruiting expertise, technology capabilities, flexibility, reporting and how the provider will work within your systems and employer brand. Also ask how success will be measured and whether the model can adapt as your hiring needs change.

What are the top RPO companies?

By revenue the field is led by Korn Ferry, Cielo, PeopleScout, Randstad Sourceright and AMS. Ranking lists tend to measure scale rather than fit. A provider that is right for a company hiring thousands is often wrong for one hiring dozens.

Tell us what’s slowing you down

You don’t need a scoped project to start a conversation with us. Most of our engagements begin with a talent leader describing a problem out loud.
