As businesses are competing with each other more intensely, companies are increasingly turning to Recruitment Process Outsourcing or RPO providers to meet their hiring needs not just to save costs but to modernize the usual long process. However, there are occasions when an in-house recruitment team may be the better option for a company than RPO and vice versa. In fact, an in-house recruitment team can work in tandem with an RPO provider to deliver optimal results. Let’s tackle different points in this blog.
Here are some ways in which an in-house recruitment team can help an RPO provider:
Better perception of company culture and values
In terms of understanding the culture and values of the company, nothing beats your In-House Recruitment team because they were directly employed by the company and have been there for years already. They also have an idea of the type of candidate that would match well with the company culture. Because of this, the RPO provider understands the company’s recruitment needs better, and identifies the right candidates for the job.

Enhanced candidate experience
When candidates have a good experience during the recruitment process, it can reflect positively on the company’s brand. An in-house recruitment team can ensure that candidates have a positive experience, by communicating with them regularly and providing timely feedback. This can help the RPO provider to attract top talent and create a positive candidate experience.
Improved recruitment metrics
An in-house recruitment team can help to improve recruitment metrics by supplying constructive insights on the hiring process and identifying weak areas and suggesting solutions based on their previous data and experience. In a situation like if the hiring team notices that candidates are stepping out of the process at a certain phase, they can communicate it with the RPO provider to spot the reason behind it and find and formulate a solution.
Better management of recruitment costs
In-house recruitment teams can help to manage recruitment costs by keeping track of expenses and identifying areas where costs can be reduced. They can also help the RPO provider to negotiate better rates with vendors and suppliers, thereby reducing costs for the company.
Improved collaboration and communication
To have a fruitful recruitment process, your teams need communication and collaboration. An in-house recruitment team can work closely with the RPO provider to ensure that both teams are aligned on the company’s recruitment needs. They can also share knowledge and best practices, which can help to improve the recruitment process and deliver better results.
Increased flexibility and agility
An in-house recruitment team can provide greater flexibility and agility than an RPO provider. They can quickly respond to changes in recruitment needs, adjust recruitment strategies and priorities, and pivot when necessary. This can help the RPO provider to deliver recruitment solutions that are more tailored to the company’s needs.
In conclusion, an in-house recruitment team can work in tandem with an RPO provider to deliver optimal results. By leveraging their knowledge of company culture and values, enhancing the candidate experience, improving recruitment metrics, managing recruitment costs, improving collaboration and communication, and providing greater flexibility and agility, an in-house recruitment team can help an RPO provider to deliver recruitment solutions that are more effective and efficient. Ultimately, this can lead to a stronger talent pipeline, better hiring decisions, and improved business outcomes.
