Recruitment Process Outsourcing FAQs
Learn how RPO works, which recruitment activities can be outsourced, and how HLC Talent can support your organization's hiring operations.
What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a recruitment service in which an organization delegates some or all of its hiring activities to an external recruitment partner. HLC Talent can support sourcing, candidate screening, recruitment coordination and other agreed hiring activities as an extension of an employer's internal team.
How is RPO different from direct hire recruitment?
Direct hire recruitment generally focuses on filling a particular permanent position. RPO provides support for a broader set of recruitment activities and can involve an ongoing relationship with an employer's HR team. The right approach depends on the organization's hiring needs.
Which recruitment activities can be outsourced?
Depending on the arrangement, RPO services can include candidate sourcing, initial screening, interview scheduling, hiring-manager coordination, recruitment reporting, talent pipeline development and onboarding-related support. The scope is determined by the organization's requirements.
Can RPO support an existing internal HR team?
Yes. RPO can complement an internal HR team rather than replace it. HLC Talent can collaborate with hiring managers and HR professionals to manage agreed recruitment tasks, provide additional resources and improve coordination during periods of increased hiring activity.
Does HLC Talent offer RPO throughout Quebec and Canada?
Yes. HLC Talent supports employers in Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Gatineau, Terrebonne, Sherbrooke, Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda, Rivière-du-Loup, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Fermont, Baie-James and other communities across Quebec and Canada.
