How long does a mass-hiring project take?

Timelines depend on the number of roles and profiles targeted. Typically, a well-scoped project presents first candidates within a few weeks and completes hiring to the agreed schedule.

What types of profiles can be hired in project mode?

Apprentices, graduates, seasonal staff, as well as sales, technical and production roles. Actual Talent tailors the set-up to your functions and specific needs.

What’s the difference between running hiring in-house and outsourcing it?

In-house HR teams can be overwhelmed by application volume. Outsourcing to Actual Talent gives you a right-sized engine, proven methodology and reliable outcomes—without tying up internal resources.

How do you maintain quality despite the quantity?

Every application is assessed with clear criteria: technical competencies, soft skills and fit to your needs. We use assessment tools and structured interviews to guarantee rigorous selection at scale.

Is project-based RPO suitable for SMEs?

Yes. SMEs call on us to build teams quickly, launch sites or handle activity peaks. The set-up is flexible and calibrated to your means and objectives.

What does a volume-hiring project cost?

Costs depend on scope, profile types and project length. Outsourcing optimises spend by reducing turnover and improving quality of hire, with measurable return on investment.

Does Actual Talent operate only in France?

No. With sourcing hubs in France and across Europe, we support multi-country projects with the same level of rigour.
