📌 In this guide: What is RPO? | Two simple pricing models | Direct Hire (12% of CTC) | Contract Deployment (monthly billing) | Real example | FAQ

Hiring IT talent in India is expensive. Between recruiter fees, job board costs, and screening time, costs add up quickly.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a simple concept: You tell us what you need. We find, screen, and shortlist candidates. You interview and say "yes" or "no". You pay only when you hire.

Two Simple Engagement Models

👔

Model 1: Direct Hire

What happens: Candidate joins directly on your payroll. You manage employment, compliance, and benefits.

We do: Sourcing, screening, initial interviews.

You do: Final interview, offer, payroll, daily management.

Payment: 12% of candidate's annual CTC (one-time). Invoice raised upon joining. Payment due within 30 days.

Replacement: One free replacement within 90 days if candidate leaves.

Best for: Full-time, long-term roles.

📋

Model 2: Contract Deployment

What happens: Engineer remains on our payroll. We handle compliance, PF, ESI, TDS, and notice period.

We do: Sourcing, screening, BGV, compliance, payroll, notice period management.

You do: Provide laptop/tools, manage daily delivery.

Payment: Monthly billing based on mutually agreed rate (based on candidate's expected monthly salary + our margin). Invoice raised at end of billing cycle. Payment due within 7 days.

Replacement: One free replacement within 90 days if engineer leaves.

Best for: Project-based, temporary, or seasonal needs.

💡 How pricing works in Model 2 (Contract Deployment): You tell us your monthly budget for the role (e.g., ₹80,000 per month). We find a candidate within that budget. You pay that amount monthly + our margin (built into the rate). No hidden costs. Transparent.

Real Example: How a Pune Startup Used RPO to Hire 4 Engineers in 3 Months

Client: Pune-based SaaS Startup (20 employees, growing to 30)

Challenge: Needed 4 engineers (2 ServiceNow, 2 Azure) in 3 months. No internal HR team. Founders were spending 10+ hours/week screening resumes.

Solution: RPO engagement – Direct Hire model (12% of CTC per hire).

Process:

  • Week 1: Understood requirements, shared 8-10 pre-screened profiles per role
  • Week 2-3: Founders interviewed shortlisted candidates
  • Week 4: Offers rolled out to 3 candidates
  • Month 2-3: Remaining positions filled

Result:

  • 4 engineers hired in 2.5 months
  • Founders saved 100+ hours of screening time
  • Total RPO fee: 12% of total CTC (approx ₹4.8 lakhs for all 4 hires)
  • All 4 candidates completed 6 months (no replacement needed)

Which Model Should You Choose?

Direct Hire → Long-term, you want engineer on your payroll
Contract Deployment → Temporary, project-based, or seasonal needs
