Recruitment Process Outsourcing in India — Built for IT Companies
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is the strategic model where an IT company transfers all or part of its recruitment function to an external specialist. PlaceMeRight has been delivering RPO services in India for 9+ years, helping 400+ technology companies reduce cost-per-hire by 40% while improving the quality and speed of every hire.
What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?
RPO is a form of business process outsourcing where an employer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external provider. Unlike a traditional staffing agency that fills individual roles on a transactional basis, an RPO partner acts as an extension of your internal HR team — managing the entire hiring lifecycle from job brief to offer acceptance.
For IT companies in India, RPO is particularly valuable because technology talent is scarce, competitive, and expensive to hire through traditional channels. A specialist RPO company in India like PlaceMeRight brings the sourcing infrastructure, technical knowledge, and candidate relationships that most internal HR teams cannot build on their own.
