RPO hiring

Recruitment software for RPO teams

Running recruitment on behalf of a client, as an RPO or an embedded recruiter, means you live and die on consistency. You are filling someone else's requisitions to their bar, often several clients at once, and the client judges you on whether every shortlist meets the standard, not just the good ones. When screening is done by feel, quality drifts between requisitions and the client notices.

RecruiterDesk is recruitment software that turns each client requisition into a weighted fitment checklist, so the same bar is applied to every candidate on every role, and you can show the client exactly why each person was shortlisted.

What gets candidates rejected

The details RPO clients decide on.

A consistent bar across requisitions

Quality that varies role to role is what loses an RPO contract. The checklist fixes the criteria per requisition, so every shortlist meets the same standard, not just the ones you had time for.

Several clients, kept separate

Embedded work means juggling multiple clients and their roles at once. Clients, mandates and pipelines stay organised, so one client's work never bleeds into another's.

Reporting the client trusts

An RPO relationship runs on visibility. Branded submissions and plain pipeline reporting show the client progress and quality without you writing a status update by hand.

Candidate data handled properly

You hold candidate personal data on the client's behalf. Built-in export and delete and DPDP-aligned handling matter when a client audits how their applicants are managed.

Fitment for RPO

Check the deciding criteria before you source.

RPO and embedded recruiting reward consistency above all, and the checklist is how you deliver it at volume. Turn each client requisition into weighted must-haves and knockouts, score every candidate against that bar, and the quality of a shortlist no longer depends on how much time you had that day. The client sees the same standard on every role, with the reasoning behind each shortlisted candidate on the record.

Experience and level the role calls for Must
Compensation within the client's band Must
Location or work model the client requires Must
Missing a criterion the client has made non-negotiable Knockout

Questions

RPO recruitment, answered.

Is RecruiterDesk suitable for RPO or embedded recruiting?

Yes, for boutique RPO and embedded recruiting desks. The hard part of running recruitment for a client is consistency: every shortlist meeting the same bar across every requisition. RecruiterDesk turns each requisition into a weighted fitment checklist, so quality does not drift between roles, and you can show the client why each candidate was shortlisted.

Can I keep several clients organised at once?

Yes. Clients, mandates and pipelines are kept separate in one workspace, so embedded work across several clients stays in order and one client's roles never mix with another's. On the Team plan the whole desk shares that view with per-recruiter visibility.

How does it help me report to the client?

Every submission goes out as a branded report, and you get plain counts and trends per mandate, active roles, submissions, interviews and closures, so the client sees progress and a consistent quality bar without you writing a status update by hand.

How is it priced?

One flat, published price for an individual recruiter and a per-member price for teams, billed per active member, with every feature included and a 14-day free trial that needs no card. The pricing page shows the exact figures in your currency.
