Outsource Your Hiring Headache

December 1, 2025

Introducing RPO: Your strategic solution for finding the best talent.

Recruiting doesn’t have to be a drain on time and resources. If you’ve ever wondered if there is a more efficient way to find the right team members for your team that doesn’t swallow extra time and detract from your main job, there is!

Introducing Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), an expanded service offered exclusively to Syndeo clients to help alleviate the pain points in the hiring process for busy business owners and managers. RPO services provide a flexible, data-driven, and people-focused approach to hiring that attracts top talent and strengthens internal processes to meet strategic workforce objectives.

The Challenges of Hiring

At Syndeo, we’ve listened to our HR clients tell us time and time again about the challenges of recruiting and hiring a dependable workforce:

Finding qualified candidates: Attracting qualified candidates is a critical challenge in today’s job market. Generic or uninspiring job ads won't draw top talent, making it difficult to fill positions with the right people.

Allocating time to evaluate applicants: The stakes are particularly high when someone already stretched thin with a full-time job is assigned hiring duties. With too many tasks and too little time, they face the dual pressure of moving quickly while also getting it right—since a poor hire means wasted resources and starting over.

Inconsistent and inefficient recruitment and hiring processes: Business owners and hiring managers who skip the strategic planning phase inevitably face chaotic, inefficient hiring. This is particularly true when hiring is just one of many competing demands on their time.

Relying on staffing vendors can be costly: Traditional staffing—which we continue to offer—is transactional. Companies hire a staffing vendor like Syndeo to simply fill their open positions. It is a great option for one-off or immediate needs, but companies hiring for multiple positions simultaneously can face significant costs, especially if the fee is a large percentage of each position's total annual salary. By contrast, RPO provides ongoing comprehensive solutions for your internal teams to manage the recruitment efforts for the length of the contract.

We’re excited to now offer RPO services that comprehensively address these challenges and help you quell the hiring headache so you can get back to business.

What Is RPO?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing creates a partnership between your company and Syndeo, enabling Syndeo to build and manage your business's recruitment function. This strategic partnership offers more than traditional staffing at a fraction of the cost. We build your RPO service to meet your recruiting needs exactly in line with your business goals and objectives.

What Does RPO Include?

We’ve purposely designed these recruitment services to be highly customizable because every client is different. Some clients might need help enhancing their job ads and pre-screening applicants. Other clients might require a company presence at a local job fair. Whatever help you need, it’s based on your strategic hiring vision, so we can help you find the right people right away.

RPO Services include:

  • Strategic Workforce Planning
  • Job Requisition and Advertising
  • Talent Sourcing and Engagement
  • Candidate Assessment and Selection
  • Candidate Experience Management
  • Hiring Manager Support
  • Offer Management and Onboarding Support
  • Technology and Integration Support
  • Additional Services Related to Recruitment

The Tangible Benefits of RPO

Scale Quickly

RPO is ideal for companies in growth mode. Whether you're opening a new location or scaling rapidly, you need to expand your team fast—and may even need to hire a dedicated recruiter. Our RPO services handle both: we fill your immediate positions while simultaneously recruiting the in-house recruiter who'll become your long-term hiring solution.

Immediate Results

Draw on our expertise in the employment industry while we do the heavy lifting: finding candidates, conducting professional interviews, and presenting you with top recommendations. We deliver vetted recommendations quickly, relieving you of the burden of coordinating schedules or mastering interview techniques.

Cost-Effective Strategy

Unlike traditional recruiting that charges per placement, Syndeo's RPO model makes us an extension of your team. Instead of recruiting one position at a time, we design and execute a comprehensive hiring strategy that scales with your needs—delivering better results at a lower total cost.

Hiring better means everyone—leaders, managers, employees, stakeholders, and even consumers—wins. From lower costs to sooner start dates, tapping into our knowledge and experience in recruiting gets the work done faster.

RPO in Action

Expanding into new markets

When one Syndeo client needed to hire quickly to staff a new worksite, we managed the entire hiring process—from implementing an applicant tracking system (ATS) to training the new managers. Two months later, they were fully staffed and ready to go with the tools in place to sustain future recruitment.

Long-term Hiring Strategy

Another Syndeo client used RPO to transition away from relying on multiple staffing vendors by developing a sustainable recruiting strategy based on their long-term goals. We helped them onboard new hires and train an on-site recruiter, which significantly reduced their vendor-related costs. This collaboration illustrates our efforts to build each client’s internal capabilities while minimizing administrative burdens.

Relieving an Overwhelmed Team

Another client facing unmanaged job postings and an overwhelmed team used RPO services to take over resume screening. Our help filtered unqualified candidates, accelerated time-to-hire, and created some welcome margin for their internal hiring managers.

Ready to Explore RPO?

Think of RPO as à la carte services: built exactly for your business recruitment needs. Through an initial assessment of each situation, we tailor every solution to maximize impact while minimizing administrative burden for your team. With RPO services from Syndeo, you can reduce hiring stress, tackle recruitment challenges with confidence, and keep momentum going with a proven process that works.
