Recruitment process outsourcing.
Embedded permanent-hiring capacity that scales with your talent plan.
Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is an embedded model where an external team runs part or all of your permanent hiring function. Mindpool USA provides sector-specialist RPO for deep-tech employers scaling headcount — our recruiters work inside your process, tooling, and brand rather than sending inbound CVs.
When RPO makes sense
RPO fits when you have a multi-hire plan rather than a single opening: a new fab ramp, a research team standing up, a funded expansion, or a market entry. It replaces the cost and lag of building an internal team for a hiring wave that has a defined shape.
- Dedicated recruiters embedded in your ATS and process
- Programme reporting: pipeline, conversion, time-to-offer
- Employer-brand-aligned candidate experience
- Scales up and down with the hiring plan
What stays permanent
The RPO engagement is a service, but every hire it produces is a full-time, direct-hire employee of yours. We do not provide contingent or contract workers under RPO.
Frequently asked
What is RPO in recruitment?
RPO is recruitment process outsourcing — an external partner runs all or part of the employer's hiring function as an embedded team, typically for a defined programme of permanent hires.
How is RPO priced?
Mindpool USA RPO is scoped per programme based on hire volume, seniority, and duration. Talk to us with your headcount plan and we'll come back with a scoped model.
