Two Types of Enterprise RPO

1. Long-Term, Company Wide - This is where a company hires an RPO provider to handle the entire recruiting process, everything from the process itself to technology and the results. One of the most important things to come out of this type of arrangement is employment branding, since RPO can be a good vehicle to improve that brand when recruiters are out in the marketplace finding great candidates.

2. Job/Location Specific - This is very similar to the long-term arrangement, except that it's just for a certain job function or for a certain location (i.e. headquarters, an R&D facility, a call center). The RPO provider focuses on filling positions at corporate or on filling only the call center positions. The provider still has ownership of the process and the results, but they may or may not use the technology since they aren't handling every position for the entire organization.
