Is RPO Right for You?

When Embedded RPO Makes Sense

Building a greenfield GCC

Founding team to 50+ people in 9–12 months. RPO gives you a dedicated recruiter who knows your mandate, your tech stack, and your culture from day one — not a new account manager every quarter.

Scaling an existing GCC rapidly

Engineering headcount doubling in 12 months. You need consistent sourcing infrastructure, not 3 different agencies sending duplicate CVs.

Hiring 8+ roles per year

At this volume, contingent agency fees compound fast. RPO converts variable per-hire costs into predictable monthly overhead — typically 40–60% cheaper at scale.

No internal TA team in India yet

Parent company has a US/EU TA team but no India presence. Embedded RPO bridges that gap without adding permanent headcount.
