The impact of the COVID-19 health, economic and social
crisis continues to weigh heavily on the global labor market,
impacting every industry at a different rate, yet early signs of
recovery are beginning to emerge.
Talent Solutions RPO has been working closely with our
clients to understand and address the changing labor market
challenges faced by organizations as they scale up/down in
response to COVID-19 lockdowns. As organizations need to
react quickly to re-build pipelines in the months ahead, we are
anticipating an up-tick in volume hiring for permanent
employees across industries.
Project RPO delivers an agile recruiting solution that speeds
time to fill, is cost-efficient, and rapidly scalable to help

How Project RPO is Different Than
Other Recruitment Solutions

9.
While Project RPO and RPO are both outsourcing
solutions, there are differences between them:
Project RPO
• Addresses short-term, seasonal, or niche/speciality hiring needs
to augment the client’s current team or bandwidth capacity.
• Acts as an augmentation of the existing Talent Acquisition
function and is responsible for a fixed requirement, typically a set
number of hires to be made.
• Aimed at helping organizations overcome urgent or critical
challenges their existing Talent Acquisition function is unable to
solve in a short, strict timeline.
60% of Project RPO solutions transform into a successful Full Cycle End-to-End RPO
Full Cycle End-to-End RPO
• Addresses ongoing business need for an ongoing talent
acquisition support in the organization.
• Acts as an integrated part of the client's organization,
becoming the internal Talent Acquisition department.
• Becomes a strategic component of the Talent
Acquisition function: can encompass everything from
process design through on-boarding, change
management and technology management.
