8. 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.
