What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)?

A model where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment to an external provider who acts as an extension of the internal HR team.

Why it matters in hiring

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
