Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a developed form of business process outsourcing (BPO) where an employer outsources or transfers all or part of its recruitment activities to an external service provider to get the cost and time benifits.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) involves outsourcing of all or part of recruitment process. The external service provider can serve as a virtual recruiting department by providing a complete package of skills, tools, technologies and activities. The RPO service provider can be "One-Stop" source for recruitment activities and can also be "a" source for certain types of recruitment activity.

In Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) the service provider takes ownership of the recruitment process or entire project completion, while in other types of staffing the service provider is part of a process controlled by the organization using their services.
