What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a hiring model where a company partners with an external provider to manage part or all of its recruitment function. Instead of relying on traditional staffing agencies, businesses gain access to dedicated recruiters who operate as an extension of their internal team.

These recruiters focus on sourcing candidates, screening applicants, and building long-term talent pipelines, helping companies create a more predictable and scalable hiring process.
