What clients usually ask
RPO tends to suit sustained or high-volume hiring where dedicated capacity is more efficient than ad hoc recruitment support.
Apex HR manages the recruitment process end-to-end, but hiring decisions, governance and final sign-off remain with your organisation, agreed as part of the engagement.
