About RPO and Vanator
What is RPO?
- RPO refers to “recruitment process outsourcing”
- Allows employers to outsource all or part of their recruitment process to external service providers with the goals of improving cost, quality, scalability and/or overall efficiency of their recruitment process.
What are RPO providers?
- Third-party companies who possess the proper staff, technologies and strategies to take on the responsibility of placing top talent for the organizations they serve.
- Act as brand representatives and extensions of clients’ internal HR/recruiting functions, with a singular focus on efficiently fulfilling their recruitment needs.
What is Vanator?
- A leading RPO provider serving clients in the US, Canada, UK and India
- Industry experts with over two decades worth of experience in staffing and recruiting came together to give birth to Vanator
- We form strategic partnerships with our clients to step up their recruitment game and bring them the increased flexibility, scalability and performance they seek
- What sets us apart from the rest of the lot is the intersection where human touch meets progressive technology
- We are headquartered in the US, with our delivery center located in India
Who can benefit from Vanator’s RPO support?
- Organizations involved in staffing, recruiting or consulting services, and other businesses who want to streamline and scale recruitment initiatives for short- term hiring or ongoing requirements
- Organizations looking to optimize their workload and expand their internal team with support from additional IT or Non-IT sourcers and full-lifecycle recruiters
How will Vanator’s RPO solutions benefit my company?
- Improved quality-of-hire: seasoned recruiters and progressive technology identify candidates who fit best into the role and organizational culture
- Reduced time-to-hire with increased recruitment capacity and higher-quality candidates shortlisted with the help of advanced technology
- Flexibility and scalability: tailor our services to your needs and easily increase or decrease recruitment support based on high- and low-volume periods
- Cost reductions from a more optimized recruitment process, affordable addition of resources, and improved ability to fill openings
How is RPO different from contingency recruiting?
- We charge a flat, pre-determined monthly fee, without any additional costs
- Resources plug in as extensions of your internal recruitment team
- More time is spent on searching and quality vs. quantity
- All qualified candidates are submitted only to you
Is RPO only for large companies?
- No! Small and medium-sized businesses today are more interested than ever in offshore recruiters, and we are well-equipped to meet their needs
- They are able to take advantage of the benefits of large-scale recruitment outsourcing solutions while having the freedom to scale up and down according to their changing requirements
- Regardless of company size, we are able to offer dedicated teams, flexibility and a high return on investment to companies requiring support in recruiting quality talent
Will using RPO save me money?
- RPO is likely to reduce overall recruitment costs by lowering your time-to-hire, improving your quality-of-hire and decreasing your staff turnover
- RPOs also save you money on management, training, overhead, infrastructure and tools such as job boards
- The support of an RPO will help streamline processes internally and help increase the overall efficiency of your recruitment function
Isn’t it cheaper to build an internal recruitment team?
- Internal solutions and their costs (management, overhead, etc.) make it difficult for you to adapt to the natural rises and falls in demand
- Internal teams also face the costly challenge of upgrading with the latest innovations and keeping up with trends, which organizations that specialize in recruitment are better equipped to do
- Comparing the affordability of RPO with internal recruitment teams involves much more than looking at monetary costs; you must look at the value that RPOs bring by taking on specific functions so that internal staff can optimize their workload by focusing on selection, onboarding and retention
- They key is to find the balance between the internal team and RPO provider and use the optimal configuration of the two
Will I have a say in how the RPO is run?
- Our RPO engagements are strategic partnerships which are flexible to accommodate the specific recruitment needs of our clients
- You choose how much of your recruitment function you want us to be involved in, which activities we will perform, and the standards for our communication with you
- RPO will not cause you to lose control of your recruitment process
