Project RPO
What is Project RPO
Project RPO is precisely what it sounds like. It’s a type of RPO solution that means you don’t have to outsource all your recruitment project needs, but you can outsource on a project by project basis. Just like standard RPO, with Project RPO you transfer all or part of your recruitment processes to an external service provider. This means you get a dedicated team who effectively become an extension of your company. This way, you ensure that the candidate encounters your brand and values throughout the process.
As such, as far as the candidate is concerned, all their communication is with the company itself. Therefore, Project RPO can be a fantastic option for companies who have their own in-house sourcing team and simply need to extend their team for a specific project. Or, Project RPO can work well for companies who wish to outsource without a long term, contractual agreement.
To help you make the best decision for your company, we’ve compiled some of the best benefits of utilising Project RPO.
Can Be Used for Specific or Specialised Team Growth
It may be that you want to keep most of your recruitment processing in house, but you just want to outsource one specific department. For example, if your company is opening a brand-new department. The extra work required would be too much for your in-house team, but not enough to require new permanent hires. Or, for example, your tech, or digital marketing departments may have talent gaps.
When it comes to identifying talent for specialised job roles, Project RPO can help by putting recruiters on the task who have extensive experience in recruiting for similar types of roles. Recruiters who hire for these vacancies have an in-depth knowledge of the fields they work within. This insight means they also have a keen eye for spotting the most appropriate talent, reducing the time to hire.
Project RPO can be used to meet exactly what you require, whether you need to upscale or downsize the project. We all know the market can fluctuate from week to week. This can make Project RPO a cost-effective solution for companies who may change their minds on what exactly they need over time.
In this sense, Project RPO can be both scalable and flexible. For example, if a company decides they want to make more or less hires overall. An RPO provider can provide more or less recruiters depending on the need.
Project RPO is an excellent solution to short term, future hiring or inconsistent recruitment needs. It is just as effective and specialised as standard RPO, but it can save you wasting resources during quieter times.
