The goal of a staffing agency is to fill short term needs quickly. That goal is reflected both in the price you pay and in the quality of the candidates. Staffing models place an incentive on speed over quality of candidates, since they won’t get paid if they don’t fill the position first.nnWhen you partner with an RPO firm, you can expect better candidate quality, more tailored and effective recruitment strategies, lower costs, and greater flexibility as compared with a staffing agency. RPO optimizes your recruitment process, streamlines your operations, and focuses on long-term business strategy while reducing costs.
