EMBEDDED RPO
Design the recruiting workflow before adding capacity
Embedded RPO is for a recurring hiring workflow, not a substitute label for a single staffing request. The scope should show what is embedded and what remains with the client.
Scope an RPO workflow →Map stages, owners and handoffs
Use the workflow as a set of questions to agree. It does not assume a stage is included until the engagement scope names it.
Intake
Who supplies the approved brief, systems access and decision timeline?
Search and review
Which sourcing or screening activities are in scope, and who reviews the evidence?
Interview coordination
Who schedules, communicates changes and records interviewer feedback?
Decision handoff
Who communicates the decision, authorizes next steps and owns candidate closure?
Operating review
Which workflow signals are reviewed, by whom, and at what agreed cadence?
