The real problem

Why this usually goes wrong

In-house talent acquisition teams are sized for steady state and then break during a growth quarter. Hiring more recruiters permanently for a temporary spike creates the opposite problem six months later. RPO flexes with the requisition load.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

Is RPO cheaper than an in-house TA team?

At steady state, comparable. RPO wins on variable demand — you aren't carrying recruiter salaries through a hiring freeze. Compare on fully-loaded cost per hire, not on monthly fee.

Do RPO recruiters work under our brand?

Yes. Candidates experience your employer brand throughout. That's the point of embedded RPO versus agency hiring.

Can RPO cover both blue-collar and white-collar hiring?

Yes, though they need different recruiter profiles. We staff the team accordingly rather than pretending one recruiter does both well.

What's the minimum engagement?

Typically six months. Shorter than that and the team spends most of the engagement calibrating.
