Project RPO Services

A scalable Recruitment Process Outsourcing solution designed to support project based hiring needs.

When hiring demand is urgent, complex or business critical, traditional recruitment models often lack the speed or flexibility required.

Project RPO provides a focused, outcome driven approach to talent acquisition that helps organisations address hiring challenges linked to strategic growth or change.

LevelUP’s Project RPO delivers dedicated recruitment capability aligned to a specific business objective, such as launching a new product, entering a new market, managing seasonal workforce spikes or supporting transformation initiatives.

Organisations have used this approach to support expansion, transformation and high volume workforce initiatives where speed and delivery certainty were critical. This enables hiring to support business outcomes rather than react to hiring demand.

What Is Project RPO?

Project RPO is a short to mid term recruitment engagement designed to deliver hiring outcomes for a defined initiative.

Unlike enterprise RPO programmes that manage ongoing hiring, Project RPO is deployed when organisations require focused recruitment support for transformation, expansion, critical hiring initiatives or capacity gaps within internal talent teams.

It combines strategy, sourcing, technology and delivery into a single integrated hiring solution. LevelUP delivers this through dedicated recruitment capability aligned to each hiring initiative.

Where Project RPO Delivers the Most Value

Project RPO is commonly implemented when hiring demand exceeds internal capacity or requires specialist focus, such as:

Market expansion
New business unit launches
High volume hiring initiatives
Early career or graduate programmes
Digital or technology transformation hiring
Mergers and acquisitions workforce integration
Seasonal workforce scaling

In these situations, hiring outcomes are linked to business timelines rather than ongoing recruitment activity.

Project RPO vs Traditional Recruitment

Traditional recruitment is typically structured to address individual hiring needs as they arise.

Project RPO supports hiring at a programme level, enabling organisations to approach recruitment as a coordinated business initiative rather than a series of disconnected activities.

While traditional recruitment focuses on filling roles, Project RPO focuses on delivering workforce outcomes such as expansion, transformation or market entry.

Project RPO vs On Demand Recruitment

Both Project RPO and Recruitment on Demand offer flexibility, but they support different hiring scenarios. Recruitment on Demand is often used to address short term capacity gaps.

Project RPO is implemented when hiring needs are tied to a defined initiative that requires structure and measurable delivery.

For example, Recruitment on Demand is typically used to address immediate hiring pressure, while Project RPO supports workforce programmes linked to growth or change.

Organisations often explore both models depending on the nature of their hiring challenge, with Project RPO best suited to situations where hiring is tied to a defined business initiative rather than ongoing recruitment activity.

Why Choose Project RPO

Organisations often explore Project RPO when hiring demand is linked to a defined business priority rather than ongoing recruitment activity. LevelUP supports these initiatives through focused recruitment delivery aligned to business timelines.

This may include:

• Expansion into new markets
• Workforce growth tied to transformation
• High volume hiring initiatives
• Launch of new products or services

In these situations, Project RPO provides the focus and delivery capability needed to achieve hiring outcomes within business timelines.
