What is an RPO in staffing?
RPO, or Recruitment Process Outsourcing, is a staffing solution where a company transfers all or part of its permanent recruitment activities to an external provider.
Unlike a traditional staffing agency that works on a per-vacancy basis, an RPO provider like TRS Workforce Solutions becomes an embedded partner in the client’s growth.
In this model, the RPO team takes primary responsibility for the "full-cycle" hiring process, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding. It acts as a true extension of the client’s HR function, often utilising the client's own brand to attract talent. RPO is highly scalable, allowing businesses to ramp hiring up or down based on seasonal demand or specific project needs without the overhead of maintaining a massive internal recruitment team.
