Recruitment - RPO

    Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) in India

    Embedded recruiter pods, talent operations and managed hiring programmes that scale with your roadmap - end-to-end or project-based.

    30 days

    Pod stand-up

    RPO works when it is run like a product team - not a vendor desk. We embed senior recruiters, talent ops, sourcers and coordinators into your hiring workflow, run weekly metrics rituals and own the outcome - cost, quality and time-to-hire.

    When RPO is the right model

    When hiring volume is high, skills are scarce, or you need to scale and de-scale quickly, in-house TA capacity is usually the constraint. RPO gives you embedded recruiters who behave like your team but flex with demand.

    NeoIntelli runs lean, senior-weighted pods with strong digital tooling. Onboarding takes 30 days, and a pod typically produces its first placements in week 5 to 6.

    How we structure an RPO engagement

    Priced on capability

    We price on pod capability plus a smaller success component, so hard-to-fill roles get the same attention as easy ones.

    Hiring-manager rituals included

    Intake templates, scorecards, interviewer training and feedback rituals are part of the engagement - we rebuild the workflow, not just staff it.

    Live pipeline reporting

    You get live dashboards on pipeline, time-to-fill, source-of-hire and offer-to-join, reviewed together every week.

    Quarterly flex built in

    Our engagements carry quarterly flex on pod size, so you can ramp the team up or down as your roadmap changes.

    Outcomes you can expect

    Cost-per-hire tracked and reported against your own baseline each quarter

    Pipeline velocity tracked through embedded outbound sourcing

    Time-to-fill reduction of 30-50% across roles
