Recruitment Process Outsourcing:

The definition of RPO according to the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association is :-

"Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a provider acts as a company's internal recruitment function for a portion or all of its jobs. RPO providers manage the entire recruiting/hiring process from job profiling through to the on-boarding of the new hire, including staff, technology, method and reporting. A properly managed RPO will:

• improve a company’s time to hire,
• increase the quality of the candidate pool,
• provide verifiable metrics,
• reduce cost and
• improve governmental compliance".
