RPO Recruitment | Hire Faster With Specialized RPO Recruiters

What is RPO in Recruitment?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a business strategy that outsources all or some recruitment processes to an external service provider. RPO allows companies to streamline their talent acquisition processes, reduce hiring costs, and improve the quality of their hires.

RPO providers, like Kinetix, utilize expertise, technology, and methodologies to handle various recruitment tasks. They manage sourcing, screening, interviewing, onboarding, and even employer branding, making the hiring process more efficient and cost-effective.

High Recruiting Costs

Kinetix offers scalable models and subscription-based pricing, ensuring you only pay for the services you need, avoiding the overheads of in-house teams and inefficient staffing agencies.

Scalability

Whether you are looking to scale up due to rapid growth or seasonal demand or your need to scale down during slower periods, our services can adjust to your varying recruitment needs.

Quality of Hires

We employ proprietary technology and assessment methods to ensure candidates are a skill-fit and cultural and organizational match.

What Companies Can Benefit From RPO?

Companies that benefit most from RPO are those growing fast, hiring in high volume, or filling specialized roles. It’s especially valuable for organizations without internal recruiting bandwidth or those looking to reduce time-to-hire and cost-per-hire. At Kinetix, we see the strongest results with high-growth teams in tech, healthcare, finance, and other talent-competitive fields.

How Does RPO Improve Recruitment Efficiency?

RPO improves recruitment efficiency by streamlining every stage of the hiring process. At Kinetix, we combine advanced technology, proven strategies, and the expertise of our specialized recruitment team to identify and engage qualified candidates quickly. Our tailored solutions eliminate redundancies, speed up candidate pipelines, and ensure each recruitment campaign meets your specific needs. The result is faster time-to-hire, higher-quality talent, and a more agile, responsive recruitment process that aligns with your organizational goals.

Why Should We Consider RPO Over Traditional Recruiting Methods?

RPO is a scalable recruiting model where an external partner manages part or all of the hiring process, and it works differently from traditional recruiting because it integrates directly into your talent function. With Kinetix, you gain a partner, not just a service provider. We handle sourcing, screening, talent pipeline development, and recruiting operations end-to-end, ensuring the process runs smoothly and efficiently. We offer bespoke, scalable solutions that align with your unique business objectives and industry specifics. Our advanced, proprietary technologies and data-driven approach ensure precision in targeting and attracting top-tier talent, reducing the time and cost per hire while increasing hiring consistency and quality.

Is RPO Cost-Effective Compared to In-House Recruiting?

RPO is more cost-effective than in-house recruiting because it eliminates the overhead of maintaining a full internal recruiting team. With Kinetix, our tailored, scalable solutions let you pay only for the services you need, while reducing time-to-hire and administrative costs, making your recruitment process more efficient and budget-friendly.

"Lee Health’s partnership with Kinetix has been exceptional. We engaged them when additional resources were needed during a period when staffing demands outweighed internal capacity (i.e., high vacancy rate, contract labor, unreasonable recruiter to open requisition ratio, hospital growth/expansion). Kinetix supplemented our nurse recruitment team in filling positions.

Thanks to their assistance, we were able to better level load requisitions per recruiter, source additional talent and reduce bedside RN vacancies. Their commitment to our success made a substantial impact which resulted in 397 positions filled by Kinetix (2019 – 2023). Kinetix is a trusted, professional, and efficient recruitment partner."

Kristy Rigot, System Director Human Resources
Lee Health

"Kinetix was able to bring in professional recruiters all at once and ramp up very quickly... If you have a lot of jobs to fill, you need to fill them quickly, and you don't want to take the risk and invest the time of doing so internally, an RPO [partnership] is for you."

Jim Bennett Vice President of Human Resources

"To accomplish what we have, in the midst of the challenges of the last few years, is a testament to the people who work here, which includes the people who recruit here: Kinetix"

Vice President of Human Resources

"We feel so strongly about our partnership – we cannot imagine not having Kinetix as a partner over the last couple of years. We would be in a different position. When talking to colleagues, they couldn't flex fast enough, they couldn't find the 200 graduate nurses because they didn't have the capacity internally, but we did. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and that we are able to deliver on our mission in a huge way, and everyone at Kinetix deserves credit for that."

Executive Leader
#2 Children's Hospital in the US

"Recruiting healthcare talent is harder than ever. When I landed in my new HR leadership role at Compassus, I turned to the Kinetix RPO team for a smart recruiting partnership. Their recruiting expertise, understanding of our culture, and ability to recruit under our brand contributed greatly to our success. Our year-long RPO project with Kinetix was a great interim solution as I determined my long-term strategy and grew my internal recruiting team."

KIRSTY LEYLAND
SVP & Chief Human Resources Officer at Compassus

"I have to say I’m quite happy so far. Our new hire you brought us has been very complimentary, and other leaders in my area have been very impressed. I’m excited about our partnership and work together to come!"
