Definition & Scope
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a form of business process outsourcing where an organization transfers all or part of its recruitment activities to an external provider. The RPO provider acts as an extension of the company's HR department, managing job postings, candidate sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding. RPO is used by companies looking to improve hiring quality, reduce time-to-hire, and lower recruitment costs.
