Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
Expand your recruiting capacity around the hiring need.

Hiring demand doesn't always align with the recruiting resources available to support it. Growth, new locations, hiring initiatives, difficult talent markets or changing priorities can quickly put additional pressure on internal recruiting teams.
Equiliem provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing solutions that add dedicated recruiting resources and expertise around defined hiring needs or broader recruiting programs.
Whether you need focused support for a specific initiative or additional recruiting capacity across part of your organization, we build the approach around what your team needs to accomplish.
Built Around Your Recruiting Needs
Add recruiting capacity without forcing every need into the same model.
RPO can take different forms depending on your hiring goals, internal resources and the scope of support you need.
Project-Based Recruiting
Dedicated recruiting support for defined hiring initiatives, periods of increased demand, new locations or other concentrated hiring needs.
Recruiting Capacity
Extend the capabilities of your internal talent acquisition team when hiring demand exceeds available recruiting resources.
Defined Recruiting Functions
Add dedicated resources to support specific parts of the recruiting process where additional expertise or capacity is needed.
Broader Recruiting Programs
Build dedicated recruiting support around a larger population of roles, business unit or ongoing hiring need.

More Than Filling Individual Requisitions
Recruiting resources built around your hiring goals.
Traditional staffing typically begins with an open requisition. RPO starts with a broader recruiting need and determines the people, process and approach required to support it.
Equiliem provides dedicated recruiting resources that work alongside your organization and existing talent acquisition team, helping create additional capacity while maintaining focus on your hiring objectives.
The result is a recruiting model designed around the work to be accomplished, rather than simply adding another staffing supplier.
Not sure which solution fits?
Start with the hiring challenge, not the recruiting model.
Sometimes you need to fill individual positions. Other times, the bigger challenge is having enough recruiting capacity to support what the organization needs to accomplish.
- “We need help filling specific contract roles.”Start with Contract Staffing.
- “We need to make direct hires.”Start with Direct Hire & Executive Search.
- “We need additional recruiting capacity for a hiring initiative or broader program.”Start with RPO.
