Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA)

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?

Recruitment Process Outsourcers (RPO’s) act as a company’s internal recruitment function for a portion or all of its jobs. RPO’s manage the entire recruiting/hiring process from job profiling through 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.  The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association is a vendor neutral non-profit serving the RPO market.

Our mission is to educate the market about Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), incorporate common metrics and comparative information as defined by staffing.org, develop and enforce certifications and promote RPO benefits. We recognize that RPO is a unique industry requiring a common set of requirements and standards.

The RPOA service provider members benefit by being certified and rated, included in the organized RFP process, and participating in related industry events. These members serve employers by becoming an integral part of their internal recruiting function, lowering recruiting costs, reducing time to hire, and improving hiring results. By providing a full service outsourced recruitment process, member companies turn a job requisition into a desired, measurable outcome.

Member Companies benefit by better understanding the benefits and risks of recruitment process outsourcing, having access to a variety of tools to support the decision to consider RPO, access to certified service providers through an organized RFP process, and direct connection to other members to learn from their experiences.
