Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) occurs when an organization outsources some or all aspects of the recruiting process to fill its vacancies. These activities are taken over by an individual or an organization that specializes in recruiting.
Employers can allow RPO providers to take on as much or as little of the recruiting process as they like, acting as internal resources would by taking over the entire process or stepping in for individual projects, regions, or anything in between. Many RPO providers can even act as the organization, not just as an agency working on behalf of the employer.
