Frequently Asked Questions.
What is recruitment process outsourcing and how does it differ from traditional recruitment agencies?
Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) involves partnering with a specialist provider to manage part or all of your talent acquisition function. Unlike traditional agencies that focus on filling individual vacancies transactionally, RPO provides systematic recruitment processes, strategic workforce planning, employer brand development, technology solutions, and ongoing talent market intelligence.
We operate as an extension of your organisation, focusing on long-term talent strategies aligned with your business objectives. This approach delivers more consistent quality of hire, greater cost efficiency, and sustainable recruitment capability compared to transactional agency relationships.
How quickly can RPO be implemented?
Implementation timeframes depend on scope and complexity. Targeted recruitment support for specific components can be operational within 2-4 weeks. Project-based solutions for defined hiring initiatives typically mobilise within 1-2 weeks when urgency requires. Complete talent function management usually requires 4-8 weeks for comprehensive transition, technology integration, and team onboarding.
We develop a tailored implementation plan during initial consultation, establishing clear milestones and minimising disruption to ongoing hiring activity.
Do we need to invest in new recruitment technology?
No. Our technology-agnostic approach means we can work with your existing recruitment systems or provide access to our technology stack as part of your RPO solution. Our team has expertise across multiple recruitment platforms and recommends solutions based on your specific requirements and objectives, not technology vendor relationships.
This approach ensures you get effective tools without unnecessary investment or system disruption to your current operations.
How does RPO improve diversity hiring outcomes?
We improve diversity hiring through systematic process design. This includes analyzing your current recruitment processes to identify barriers to diverse candidates, implementing specialised sourcing strategies to access underrepresented talent pools, creating targeted attraction campaigns, and establishing bias-minimising selection frameworks.
Our approach includes regular diversity metrics reporting to track progress and identify opportunities for improvement. We tailor our methodology to your specific diversity objectives, compliance requirements, and organisational context.
What performance guarantees do you provide?
Our RPO partnerships include defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs) tailored to your talent objectives. These typically cover time-to-fill, quality of hire, hiring manager satisfaction, candidate experience ratings, and cost efficiency metrics.
We establish baseline performance at engagement outset and set improvement targets based on industry benchmarks and your specific requirements. Regular performance reporting and quarterly business reviews ensure accountability. Our agreements include remediation processes if SLAs aren't met, including potential service credits depending on partnership structure.
How do you measure quality of hire?
Quality of hire measurement varies based on your organisation's priorities but typically includes new hire performance ratings, hiring manager satisfaction scores, retention rates at defined intervals (90 days, 12 months), time-to-productivity metrics, and cultural fit assessments.
We work with you to define quality metrics that matter most to your business, establish baseline measurements, and track improvements over time. This data informs continuous refinement of sourcing strategies, assessment methodologies, and candidate experience design.
