Why Rivago

An RPO partner that owns
the outcome.

Others hand you coordinators and a dashboard. We embed senior recruiters who own the whole lifecycle — and report on what matters: fill time, cost per hire, and who is still there a year on.

We own the program

Strategy, pipeline and delivery run through one accountable Rivago team — not a queue of tickets and a self-serve tool.

Senior recruiters, your brand

Embedded specialists work as an extension of your team — your careers page, your voice, your candidate experience.

Measured on retention

Accountability doesn't end at the offer. We track first-90-days, retention and hiring-manager satisfaction — and optimise against them.

Scale up or down

Ramp for a growth phase, wind down after it. Enterprise, project or hybrid — the model flexes to your hiring plan.

What is RPO?

Not another agency.
An owned program.

Agencies sell candidates. RPO gives you the whole hiring engine — and owns the outcome.

Traditional staffing

You run the pipeline.

SourceScreenPlace

Your team owns the strategy and runs the pipeline. A staffing partner sources and places the individual roles you bring them — and the relationship ends at the offer letter.

RPO with Rivago

We run the program.

SourceScreenOnboardTrackReport

We own the strategy and run the program end to end. Accountability runs through retention and performance, not just offers — with weekly reporting on the metrics that matter.

A recruiting engine,
handed over in weeks.

US · Technology · Enterprise RPO

We were scaling from 200 to 600 people and our four-person TA team was drowning. Rivago stood up an embedded pod in three weeks, took over the whole funnel, and cut our time-to-fill by nearly half — while our internal team finally got to work on employer brand instead of firefighting.

FAQ

RPO, without the sales gloss.

Roughly fifty or more hires a year on an ongoing basis, or any time-boxed project with a defined hire count. Below that, contingent direct hire is usually cheaper and we will say so. We would rather scope you into the right model than sell a programme you do not need.
Enterprise RPO is a fixed monthly fee scoped to volume and outcomes. Project RPO is a project fee tied to milestones and hire targets. Hybrid is a baseline fee plus per-hire surge pricing. All include sourcing, screening, scheduling, offer management and reporting — technology and assessment licences are quoted separately if you want them.
No. Every hiring decision remains yours, and the team works under your brand, in your ATS, following your process. What transfers is accountability for the metrics: time-to-fill, cost per hire, quality of hire and retention — reported weekly, not quarterly.
Time-to-shortlist, time-to-fill, submittal-to-interview ratio, offer-accept rate and hiring-manager satisfaction. Targets are agreed during scoping, written into the agreement, and reported against every week. Where we miss, the report says so.
There is a defined transition-out period with a documented handover: live requisitions, candidate pipelines, process documentation and market intelligence transfer to you. Notice terms are symmetrical, and we do not hold your pipeline hostage.
Yes. Rivago runs programmes across the United States, Canada, the UAE and India on a single contract, with local partners handling in-country compensation, regulation and work authorisation, and one central team reporting to you.
