How much does recruitment outsourcing cost?

It depends on volume, profile complexity and project length. End-to-end outsourcing is an investment that reduces turnover and de-risks hiring, with measurable ROI in the short and long term.

Which roles can be filled via outsourcing?

All types: senior leaders, corporate functions, technical roles, sales, apprentices and seasonal staff. Our approach is cross-sector and tailored to your needs.

How does end-to-end RPO differ from a traditional agency?

Traditional agencies typically work per mandate or per role. End-to-end RPO takes ownership of the entire process, A–Z, with consultants embedded alongside your teams to run hiring continuously.

How quickly will we see results?

From set-up you gain time immediately: clear scoping, pools activated and first candidates within a few weeks, depending on scope and volume.

Can we outsource only part of the process?

Yes. While our end-to-end offer covers the full lifecycle, we can modularise: sourcing only, pre-qualification only, or assessment only, based on your priorities.

Is outsourcing suitable for SMEs?

Absolutely. SMEs use RPO to professionalise hiring without burdening internal teams—accessing specialist consultants and a proven method.

How do you guarantee quality and confidentiality?

Each project is led by a dedicated project manager with precise assessment processes, secure tools and transparent tracking. Confidentiality is ensured at every stage, including discreet search for strategic profiles.

Outsource your hiring: Actual Talent’s end-to-end RPO

Recruitment isn’t just about finding a candidate—it’s about identifying the right talent at the right time and securing a smooth integration into your organisation. For businesses with recurring, high-volume or strategic needs, outsourcing hiring becomes a powerful lever for performance and peace of mind.

With our end-to-end RPO offer, we take charge of your entire recruitment process—from scoping the need to onboarding new hires. You benefit from a recognised consultancy’s expertise, high-performance tools and a human approach that puts candidates and your priorities at the heart of every decision.

When outsourcing your recruitment is the smartest move

Delegating your hiring process isn’t a fallback—it’s a strategic decision. Companies choose it when they need greater efficiency, to absorb high volumes or to secure hard-to-fill, business-critical roles. In practice, outsourcing brings flexibility and specialist expertise precisely where internal capacity hits its limits.

Rapid growth: site launches, new business lines, international expansion
Volume hiring: apprentice/graduate intakes, seasonal or sales campaigns
Limited HR capacity: teams already committed to other strategic projects
Need to professionalise processes: a consistent, structured framework across all hires—including multi-site
Confidential or complex briefs: sensitive profiles, strategic posts, discreet search required

In all these situations, an end-to-end model delivers a smooth, fast and reliable process—run by recruitment experts.

What does end-to-end RPO involve?

End-to-end means outsourcing the whole recruitment lifecycle, from defining the requirement to onboarding selected candidates. It’s a comprehensive solution for organisations seeking efficiency, expertise and continuity.

In practice, our specialist consultants become an extension of your HR team. Working on-site or remotely, they steer each stage and deliver measurable results for your business:

Precise role scoping: understand your context, define the role, build the competency framework
Multi-channel sourcing strategy: direct search, talent pool activation, targeted advertising
Pre-qualification & assessment: technical capability and soft-skills evaluation using our tools and methods
Selection & shortlist: validated candidates, ready to meet your hiring managers
Reporting & continuous improvement: transparency at every step, clear KPIs, real-time adjustments
Onboarding support: post-hire follow-up to secure success and reduce turnover

End-to-end outsourcing guarantees rigorous, rapid recruitment—with deep understanding of your roles and sectors.
