What Is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when an employer outsources some or all of its recruitment processes to an external service provider, like Hire Health, rather than doing them internally, including identifying, screening, and assessing applicants.

RPO is uniquely designed to help hire quality candidates with minimal involvement from your HR team. This model benefits healthcare organizations facing tight labor markets, high turnover, and lengthy time-to-fill rates.

Hire Health serves as your organization’s in-house recruiter, alleviating HR’s workload and optimizing recruitment processes. We take a holistic, strategic, and personalized approach to our RPO solutions that meet your organization’s specific needs and goals.

How Does RPO Work?

Recruitment process outsourcing is intended to seamlessly integrate into your organization’s framework, align with your corporate ethos, and optimize hiring procedures to secure top-tier candidates.

The RPO process includes:

Consultation

➊ Consultation

The initial phase involves in-depth discussions with your organization to gain deeper insights into your recruitment objectives. This aids RPO specialists in better understanding your company's vision, mission, and the requisite qualifications for the roles.

Workforce Planning

RPO firms leverage talent analytics to assess the existing talent landscape and market compensation across departments, roles, and locations. Collaborating with your organization, they formulate a workforce plan and strategy and forecast future trends if needed.

Recruitment Strategy

Recognizing that each organization is unique, RPO providers customize their recruitment strategy to attract candidates that align with your requirements and culture.

Sourcing

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) FAQs

What is RPO?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) involves entrusting some or all of a company’s internal recruitment duties to an external specialist. Though typically used for permanent staff recruitment, RPO can also extend to managing contingent labor.

How does RPO work?

RPO addresses your organization’s talent acquisition hurdles by collaborating with your in-house recruiting team, amplifying your company culture, and providing value-added recruitment services to secure top-tier candidates. RPO processes generally begin with evaluating your recruitment needs and current processes and technology, and pinpointing areas for enhancement. A customized RPO solution is developed to meet your organization’s demands precisely.

How much does RPO cost?

The pricing of RPO services fluctuates depending on factors such as volume, position type, location, and the range of services provided. Typically, RPO solutions adhere to one of four pricing models:

  • Monthly management fee, tailored to volume, position type, or contracted services.
  • Cost-per-hire, adjusted for volume, position type, location, or other pertinent variables.
  • Combination of a management fee along with cost per hire.
  • Cost-per-transaction, structured around predefined actions like requisition opening, interview scheduling, or offer extension.

In RPO setups, the overall cost-per-hire tends to be notably lower for multiple hires in comparison to engaging a staffing agency.

What metrics do RPO companies use to measure RPO success?

Typically, the metrics used to evaluate the impact of RPO include:

  • Hiring manager satisfaction
  • Cost-per-hire
  • Time-to-offer
  • Time-to-fill
  • New hire retention
  • New hire turnover
  • Candidate satisfaction
  • Recruiting process conversion rates

Will I retain control over hiring decisions?

Yes, if retaining control over hiring decisions is a priority for you, most RPO companies offer the flexibility to choose whether to maintain or relinquish this control.
