RPO & Embedded Recruitment
Your hiring engine, run by people who have built one
RPO works when the partner has actually run a recruitment function — not just supplied candidates to one. We embed a recruitment team inside your organization, working your process, your systems and your employer brand.
Is this the right engagement for you?
- Companies hiring at sustained volume without the internal TA headcount
- Organizations whose hiring is unpredictable quarter to quarter
- Businesses that want to rebuild an underperforming TA function
- GCCs and scale-ups moving from ad-hoc agency use to a managed process
The problems this work exists to fix
01
Unpredictable cost per hire
A fixed monthly model replaces variable agency fees, making hiring cost forecastable against the headcount plan.
02
No process, no data
We install a structured process with real reporting — pipeline health, conversion, time-to-offer and source effectiveness.
03
Capability that leaves with the vendor
We build process and documentation that stays with you, so you can take the function back in-house whenever you want to.
A process you can see into
- 01
Understand
audit the current hiring process, systems, data and pain points.
- 02
Map
