Have your recruitment volumes suddenly spiked? Do you immediately get on the phone with a recruitment agency and ask them to source suitable candidates? Or do you prefer to keep things in house and invest in your internal team?Alternatively you might want to consider outsourcing (part of) the recruitment process to an external provider.

How do you decide?
One size does not fit all. Every company is different in terms of its size, budget and hiring needs. It’s important to find the right solution for you. Here’s some things to consider to help you make the right hiring choice for your business.

Things to consider
Your budget
If your hiring is project focused or needs to flex with market trends, then an in-house team can be an expensive fixed cost. Agencies charge a percentage fee for each candidate they successfully place with you, so you need to bear this in mind when you approach an agency for help. Standard recruitment agency costs tend to range between 15% and 20% of a candidate’s first annual salary, but this can rise to as much as 30% for hard-to-fill positions. RPO pricing varies based on the models that define the services provided, for example, a fixed monthly fee, fixed fee per project or cost per hire, etc.
Your hiring needs
If you work for a small company and only have one or two roles to fill, you may be able to manage your recruitment in-house. Alternatively, if your hiring team is concerned about capacity, agency recruiters can quickly get your proposal in front of candidates willing to hit the ground running. However, if your hiring needs are extensive or you’re gearing up for a big expansion, you may want to consider enlisting the expertise of an RPO provider. They can provide strategic workforce planning, employer branding optimisation and recruiter training. They can also implement career portals and other processes to help your talent function run more effectively for the long-term.
Your internal resources
Whether or not you can manage recruitment in-house depends on the resources you have available. If your internal talent team is at risk of burnout, it could be time to enlist external help. A recruitment agency could be a suitable option for you if you’re looking for a short-term solution to support your hiring team. Alternatively, an RPO provider can bring huge long-term benefits. Much more than just filling a role, RPO providers manage the strategic recruitment process as a whole and offer immediate solutions that an in-house team may not have the resources or capacity to do.
