RPO | Recruitment Process Outsourcing: What does it all mean?

There are several variations of RPO, and different terminologies attached to each. But what do they all mean, and how do you know the difference?

Firstly, there are no standardised terminologies for RPO. Providers can use whatever terms they like, though it makes sense to keep references relatively similar, to avoid confusion.

So, what is recruitment process outsourcing? Well, at the risk of pointing out the obvious, it's what it sounds like. With an RPO, you outsource your recruitment processes to an external provider who takes on your company’s employer brand.

The benefits of this can include an enhanced employer brand, and candidate experience, higher retention rates and more quality hires.
