What would you offer employers looking for a scalable recruiting solution that’s more cost effective and flexible? Recruitment process outsourcing is a recruiting model that emerged in response to companies’s needs to cut recruiting cost and hire best talent without having the internal resources and expertise in-house. RPO is currently on the rise with growing adoption rates from large and small-to-medium (SMB) businesses alike. In 2016, Credance reported “The recruitment process outsourcing market worldwide accounted for revenue of US$ 3,537.2 Mn in 2014. The market is projected to expand with a CAGR of 14.4% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2022.”
If you’re considering adding RPO services to your recruiting offering, knowledge and experience are likely your greatest barrier to entry. What RPO services should you offer? How do you negotiate and close an RPO contract? What should you include in a service level agreement? What technologies should you use and what does an RPO implementation look like?
Cynthia Cohen and Maru Gonzalez have been in the RPO industry for over ten years and currently provide support and consultation for companies looking to transition into RPO.

The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association defines recruitment process
outsourcing (RPO) as a form of business process outsourcing (BPO) where an
employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external service
provider. An RPO provider can provide its own or may assume the company’s staff,
technology, methodologies and reporting. In all cases, RPO differs greatly from
providers such as staffing companies and contingent/ retained search providers in
that it assumes ownership of the design and management of the recruitment process
and the responsibility of results.

Management Fee Only: A fee is paid to the
RPO provider for working on an agreed-upon
number of positions.
Cost Per Hire: A fee is paid for each candidate
who is successfully brought through the
program and hired (or other action such as
offered a position) by the customer.
Cost per Hire + Management Fee:
A combination of the two above. This combines
the consistent recruiting effort under the
management fee, with payments for the success
(hires) of the program.
