Rent a Recruiter (RPO)

Outsource your entire recruitment function or specific hiring projects - with AI-powered delivery and dedicated account management.

OVERVIEW

Recruitment Process Outsourcing Built for Modern Hiring

RPO is not just outsourcing headcount. It is redesigning how your organisation attracts, assesses and hires talent at scale.

Whitecarrot's RPO model gives you a full recruitment engine - technology, recruiters, processes and reporting - without building it in-house. We take ownership of your hiring outcomes, operating as your recruitment department with the speed and precision of AI.

Whether you need end-to-end RPO or project-based support, our model flexes to match your hiring volume, budget and timeline.

Frequently asked questions

What is RPO?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing means handing over some or all of your recruitment to an external partner who manages it as their own function.

How is RPO different from using agencies?

Agencies fill individual roles. RPO manages your entire recruitment function with dedicated teams, technology, processes and accountability.

What does RPO cost?

RPO pricing is typically structured as a management fee plus cost-per-hire, which is usually 30 to 50 percent lower than traditional agency fees at scale.

How long does implementation take?

A typical RPO implementation takes 4 to 8 weeks from agreement to go-live, depending on complexity.

Can we keep some hiring in-house?

Yes. Hybrid RPO lets Whitecarrot handle specific functions or geographies while your team manages the rest.
