Shared ownership. Real accountability.
Named SLAs, delivery leadership, and hiring strategy support, without handing over your whole TA function.
Book a call
Shared delivery. Not a full takeover.
RPO Lite is the entry point into the RPO Suite: the natural next step once you want us to own delivery, not just supply people. You retain ownership of the wider TA function. We own the SLAs.
People
Recruiters and delivery leadership deployed alongside your team, accountable to agreed SLAs.
Process
Performance management and hiring strategy advice layered on top of your existing process, not a replacement for it.
Technology
We work inside your existing ATS. No new systems for your team to learn.
Outcomes
Named SLAs we own and report on, while the wider function stays yours.
Named SLAs. Not estimates.
Every RPO Lite engagement runs on outcome SLAs from day one, agreed at scoping and reported on across the life of the engagement.
Time to Fill (TTF)
Days from confirmed brief to accepted offer, agreed per role type at scoping.
Candidate Satisfaction (cSat)
Scored at offer stage. We're accountable for candidate experience, not just acceptance.
Agency Reduction
Tracked against your pre-engagement baseline.
Offer Acceptance Rate
Offers accepted versus extended, a measure of candidate quality and brief accuracy.
Who is RPO Lite for?
RPO Lite tends to be the right conversation when a few things are true at once.
From scoping to steady state.
1 Discovery +
We agree what good looks like at 90 days, who's responsible for getting there, and where the line sits between us and your team.
2 Mobilisation +
We deploy the team, integrate with your existing ATS, and brief on employer brand and hiring manager preferences.
3 Delivery +
We run delivery against agreed SLAs. Your team retains ownership of the wider function.
4 Optimisation +
Regular reviews. Room to grow into Project or Full as your hiring plan changes.

Common questions.
1 How is this different from all-or-nothing RPO? +
You don't have to choose between doing it yourself and handing over the whole function. RPO Lite gives you outcomes and ownership without the all-or-nothing leap.
2 What happens to our internal TA team? +
They retain ownership of the wider function. We own delivery and the SLAs attached to it, working alongside your team, not instead of it.
3 Will candidates know they're speaking to an outsourced function? +
Only if you want them to. We operate under your employer brand by default.
4 What does the commercial model look like? +
A retained, ongoing engagement priced on scope: hire volume, role mix and geography. No agency-style success fees.
5 What if our hiring volume grows past the Lite band? +
Moving to Project or Full is a straightforward next step, not a re-tender.
6 Have you done RPO before? +
Yes. Case studies and proof of prior delivery are available on request.
