The Job Description may include the name of the job, salary, a complete outline about the work and so on. As well as, the Job Specification may include the qualification that should be possessed by the employees. So, the RPO firms may need a clear vision about recruiting the right employees for the right job.

The RPO firms may know that what kind of employees can be recruited from which place i.e., the platform. It may be of advertisements, social media posts and likewise. So, after deciding the platform they may engage in actively recruiting employees based on the nature of the job.

The RPO firms may have highly talented professionals for performing all these types of works. So they will recruit employees who exactly match the need of the Organisations. After recruiting the qualified employees, the RPO firm may make the employees to reach out to the Organisation for further proceedings.

  • Short term provider
  • Consulting service provider
  • Limited RPO
Long Term Provider

The RPO firm which follows this model will provide the Organization, complete recruitment strategies and recruit the employees for a longer period. Some Organisation may reach out to the RPO firms in the initial stage of their incorporation itself. From that period onwards, the RPO firms may take the responsibility to recruit the qualified employees for the Organisation for a longer run.

Short Term Provider

The RPO firms who provide service based on the short term provider will offer the service to their customers i.e., the Organisation for a shorter span of time. For example, an Organisation may approach the RPO firm to recruit trainers to provide training for the newly installed machinery. At that time, the RPO firm may find and recruit qualified trainers for giving training to the employees. So, after recruiting the trainers the job of RPO firm gets completed. This type of recruiting by RPO firm is the short term provider.

This is one of the effective models as this model provides only limited service; they provide it with high quality. So that the Organisation may be highly benefitted from this model.
