Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

The definition of RPO according to the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association is :-

"Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a provider acts as a company’s internal recruitment function for a portion or all of its jobs. RPO providers manage the entire recruiting/hiring process from job profiling through to the on-boarding of the new hire, including staff, technology, method and reporting. A properly managed RPO will improve a company’s time to hire, increase the quality of the candidate pool, provide verifiable metrics, reduce cost and improve governmental compliance".

CPH Consulting takes the RPO Association’s definition further, in that we have also demonstrated, as an RPO provider, the ability to drastically reduce first year new employee attrition for our clients.

There is a commonly held view that an RPO contract is only viable for large corporates. CPH Consulting has consistently demonstrated that the benefits to SME’s can be significant. Indeed, we are consistently delivering a range of quantifiable benefits to small and medium sized companies that, in most cases, exceed those being derived by much larger firms from their RPO contracts.
