The service, defined

What is recruitment process outsourcing, and when should you use it?

Recruitment process outsourcing, or RPO, is when you hand part or all of your recruitment to a specialist partner who runs it as an extension of your own team. Rather than a role by role engagement, we provide dedicated, embedded capacity: we own the process, work to your standards and brand, and deliver a steady flow of specialist hires. It suits organisations that are scaling, that hire continuously in specialist BFSI disciplines, or that want to build out a function over time without carrying the full recruitment effort in house. Importantly, this is specialist recruitment delivered as managed capacity. We find and assess the right people; we do not supply general staffing.

When it fits

When to choose RPO

RPO is the right choice when your specialist hiring is ongoing or scaling, and you want dedicated capacity rather than a series of separate searches. Whichever applies, you get embedded specialist recruitment that works as part of your team.

Scaling teams

Building specialist capability quickly and continuously.

Ongoing hiring needs

A steady flow of specialist roles rather than one off hires.

Building out a function

Growing a specialist function over time with consistent support.

Extending your talent team

Adding dedicated specialist recruitment capacity without building it in house.

How it works

How our RPO works

Our RPO is built around your needs. We agree the scope, the roles, the standards and the way we will work as part of your team, then provide dedicated capacity to run that hiring, owning the process from briefing to assessment and offer, and reporting transparently throughout. The depth behind every candidate is the same as in our most committed search work. Our underlying process, from briefing to onboarding and aftercare, is on our how we work page

Why clients choose us

Why clients choose us for RPO

Clients choose our RPO because it combines the scale of embedded capacity with the depth of a specialist. We genuinely understand the disciplines they hire for, we assess on real capability, we screen at an 80 per cent rate, our candidates join at an 85 per cent rate, and since 2014 we have had to return fewer than fifteen fees because a placement left early. You get a partner who works as part of your team, with specialist judgement behind every hire, and who is honest about what we do: we find and assess the right specialist people, we do not provide general staffing. For building whole teams or capability centres, see our Capability Build Recruitment.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is recruitment process outsourcing?

RPO is a managed recruitment service in which an external partner owns agreed parts of the employer’s hiring process over time. EliteRecruitments’ RPO is designed for sustained specialist BFSI hiring and can operate as an extension of the internal talent team.

How is RPO different from using an agency for individual searches?

An agency search is usually commissioned role by role. RPO provides dedicated capacity across a programme, with agreed governance, workflows, reporting and employer-brand standards. It can cover sourcing and assessment while working inside the client’s systems and process.

Is RPO the same as staffing or labour supply?

No. EliteRecruitments describes RPO as recruitment capability, not the supply or employment of a general workforce. The service finds and assesses people for the employer’s roles; the precise employment model and responsibilities must be clear in the contract.

Which parts of recruitment can an RPO partner manage?

Scope may include workforce planning input, role calibration, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, candidate communication, offer support, reporting and supplier coordination. The employer retains the decisions and responsibilities identified in the agreed operating model.

How should an employer measure an RPO programme?

Useful measures include qualified-shortlist quality, interview conversion, time to agreed milestones, offer acceptance, joining, retention, candidate experience and hiring-manager satisfaction. Volume alone can reward speed without proving that the right specialists were hired.

When is RPO a better choice than capability build recruitment?

Choose RPO when the employer needs sustained recruitment capacity and process ownership across an ongoing hiring programme. Choose Capability Build Recruitment when the primary problem is designing and assembling a new team or function in the right sequence. Some programmes may use elements of both.

Do candidates pay in an RPO programme?

No. Candidates do not pay EliteRecruitments for access to a vacancy, interview or offer. The hiring organisation engages and pays the firm. Anyone requesting money, banking credentials or unofficial training payments in the EliteRecruitments name should be verified through the contact details published on eliterecruitments.com.
