Think RPO is only for industry giants? Think again. When people think of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), they often picture global corporations with deep pockets and high-volume hiring needs. And it’s true, many enterprise-level businesses rely on RPO to streamline hiring, boost efficiency, and scale operations.
But here’s the truth: RPO isn’t just for the big guys anymore.
At Fortis, we’re seeing a growing number of small and mid-sized recruitment businesses tapping into the power of RPO to scale smarter, stay competitive, and create long-term value…not just fill roles.
The Old Way: Transactional Hiring
For years, traditional agencies have operated in a cycle of reactive, transactional hiring – chasing vacancies, managing inconsistent pipelines, and struggling to scale sustainably. This can lead to burnout, inefficiencies, and missed growth opportunities.
Smaller agencies are often told, “Just keep grinding”. At Fortis, we say: there’s a better way.
Strategic RPO for SMEs
RPO isn’t about replacing your business – it’s about amplifying it. Think of it as adding horsepower to your engine. With Fortis, you don’t need to worry about hiring surges, stretched resources, or missed SLAs. We integrate seamlessly with your team to:
- Build strategic, long-term hiring frameworks
- Deliver on-demand sourcing and candidate management
- Scale up (or down) quickly with flexible models
- Free up your consultants to focus on client relationships and revenue
And the best part? It’s tailored to your size, your budget, and your goals.
Why SMEs Are Thriving with RPO
With the right RPO partner, smaller agencies gain:
Consistency: Reduced hiring time and improved process control
Capability: Access to specialist talent and cutting-edge tools
Confidence: Scalable systems that grow as you do
Credibility: The infrastructure to pitch for bigger, better accounts
You no longer need a huge in-house delivery team to land major contracts – just the right partner in your corner.
