What is RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)?

Attracting and engaging talent is a major challenge—especially when you need to hire quickly and at scale. You have to stay flexible and agile without compromising standards. That’s why we developed Actual Talent’s RPO solution.

More than a supplier, we become a true HR partner and support all your recruitment challenges. You’ll have a dedicated Project Lead, and we size a team of specialist recruiters to match your needs. In practice, you embed Actual Talent know-how directly into your HR function.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing—externalising all or part of your hiring process—ensures access to the right people, at the right time, to hit your hiring goals.

What is RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)?

RPO is the right fit when…

Your business is scaling fast or has seasonal peaks that demand high-volume hiring.

You want to optimise recruitment costs by improving the quality and efficiency of HR processes.

Your internal HR team is stretched, short on time, or would benefit from expert sourcing and assessment support.

You need to standardise and professionalise hiring across multiple sites or countries.

You want the latest recruitment tech and innovation without heavy internal investment.

You aim to improve the end-to-end candidate experience.

You prefer to focus on your core business while consultants manage all or part of hiring.

You need flexibility to adapt quickly to market changes.

RPO helps you gain efficiency and quality, control spend, and tap into deep, scalable HR expertise.
