Frequently asked questions
How is RPO different from a staffing agency?
RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) acts as a dedicated hiring partner, seamlessly integrating with your team to handle every aspect of your recruitment efforts. For a fixed monthly fee, we offer reliable support, proactive talent sourcing, and transparent, predictable costs.
What if we already have an internal recruiter?
RPO works alongside your in-house recruiter, enhancing their efforts rather than replacing them. While your internal team concentrates on strategic planning, managing stakeholder relationships, and building your employer brand, RPO specializes in managing large-scale sourcing and candidate screening processes.
How quickly can we get started?
Most clients are up and running within two weeks or sooner. This includes discovery calls, intake meetings, and system access start-ups.
Can individual office managers post and manage their own jobs?
You control the level of access. Grant visibility and manage permissions to office managers or keep all hiring centralized – our platform adapts to your structure.
Do you work with dental schools and hygiene programs?
Yes, absolutely! We have a dedicated division, Dental Career Planning, who partners with dental and hygiene schools throughout the country. This means you get first access to motivated newly licensed candidates as soon as they enter the job market.
Are there any placement fees?
No! Unlike traditional staffing agencies that charge 20-25% per placement, RPO operates on a flat monthly fee. You can hire as many candidates as you need without any additional placement costs.
