Blended RPO

What is Blended RPO?

A corporation uses a hybrid recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) strategy, whereby it outsources some parts of its hiring procedure to a third party while keeping control over others. This strategy might be useful for businesses that wish to have some control and oversight over the recruitment process while outsourcing some of the trickier or more time-consuming tasks.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing in which an organization contracts with a third-party supplier to handle its hiring needs. RPO companies can offer a selection of recruitment services, typically on a managed service basis, or they can handle the complete recruitment life cycle from beginning to end.

Cost savings, greater hiring quality, faster hiring, and better access to a wider labor pool are the main advantages of RPO. RPO can be utilized to address needs for direct-hire employees as well as contingent workers.

RPO providers usually source, screen, and choose candidates using a combination of technology and people. Value-added services from RPO providers could include candidate evaluation, talent community management, and employer branding.

Over the past ten years, the RPO market has developed, and it is now divided into three primary categories of providers:

• Blended RPO providers: To give cost-effective RPO solutions, blended RPO providers combine onshore, nearshore, and offshore resources.
• Onshore RPO service providers, since they are situated in the same nation as their clients, onshore RPO providers frequently have a thorough understanding of the local labor market.
• Offshore RPO suppliers: Compared to onshore or blended RPO providers, offshore RPO providers are headquartered in low-cost nations and can provide a more affordable alternative.

Benefits of Blended RPO

• To locate qualified workers more quickly, create talent pools for specialized and in-demand skills.
• Without spending money on internal personnel, quickly acquire specialized sourcing, talent marketing, candidate management, and onboarding experience.
• Reduce risks through legal hiring procedures
• Provide the systems and technical foundation required to transition to a total talent management strategy.

Conclusion

The cost of outsourcing the recruitment process is determined by a monthly management, placement, and/or project charge. You would normally guarantee a minimum number of hires in an end-to-end solution to give a baseline cost. There is an additional fee for each placement.

Although a project RPO engagement may cost about the same, your supplier might be able to provide you with a more accurate quotation because the scope and volume are typically clearly defined and different. Fees for selected RPO can be based on volume (for example, the number of candidates booked for interviews) or a single project (e.g., an employer brand audit). In any circumstance, costs are frequently lower than those of a recruitment agency.
