Whether you want to outsource your entire hiring process or simply need help on a particular project, talent group or part of your recruitment process, our agile solutions adapt to changing circumstances and evolve as quickly as your business. 


Full RPO is a comprehensive solution that outsources your entire hiring process from sourcing to selection, assessment, offer management and onboarding.​ We manage timescales, budgets, and application volumes, whilst ensuring compliance and providing accurate and informative data. 


Project RPO provides a rapid response to your one-off or short to medium-term talent demands. We can implement an effective hiring process within six weeks and find you the talent you need at the volume and speed you require, without adding headcount to your in-house talent acquisition team.


Modular RPO offers tailored support for recruitment components: sourcing, shortlisting, assessment, interviewing, or onboarding. We provide resources and expertise where needed, building bespoke teams to strengthen capability and integrate seamlessly into your infrastructure.

 

 

What makes our Recruitment Process Outsourcing solutions different?
 

Powered by data

We make data-driven decisions to optimise your hiring processes and deliver the talent you need effectively and efficiently. The key to operational excellence is accurate data, but many businesses struggle to produce consistent metrics and up-to-date market insight. That’s where Market Intelligence comes in. Market Intelligence is our cloud-based platform powered by 100+ data sources and a global team of data scientists, who are experts in talent analytics and the economic and demographic factors that influence talent in Thailand and globally. It gives you access to an always-on, personalised talent analytics platform, allowing you to build a truly data-led sourcing strategy.

Enabled by tech

Technology underpins every aspect of our RPO solutions. It enables us to offer true scalability, deliver enhanced user experiences and uncover exceptional untapped talent pools, mapped to skills, with the use of embedded AI. So, it sets our recruiters free to focus on the human side of recruitment and building connections. You can use our best-in-class tech as a complete platform, or it can seamlessly integrate with your tech stack. We work with you to implement the solution that works best for your organisation.  We are constantly innovating and improving our tech to meet your future hiring needs, so you can stay ahead of the market without constantly upgrading your own systems.

Delivered by RPO experts

Our business is built on providing the expertise to solve your toughest resourcing and talent management challenges. We have talent solutions specialists at every stage of the hiring lifecycle. Our teams in Thailand will get to know you, champion your organisation’s story, and connect you to professionals who can transform your business. We have strong in-built capability for skills-first, diversity and environmental, social and governance (ESG) hiring needs. Our powerful combination of talent marketers and sourcing partners can help you explore and develop more diverse talent pools. Our experts in selection ensure a fair and meritocratic process every time. Whatever your challenges, we provide practical solutions and operational excellence at scale and speed, flexing the size and make-up of our team to match your requirements.

FAQ's

  • What is the difference between RPO and contingent workforce solutions (CWS)?

Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) is a service offering to support the delivery and management of non-permanent or contract resources.

Together, they offer comprehensive and highly flexible solutions to all your talent needs.
