RPO
No items found.

Great question! This is an important one to consider. Choosing Disrupt RPO to become your flexible strategic Recruitment Partner means you will have an entirely bespoke product to suit your immediate recruitment needs, whilst having huge flexibility to adjust to your future recruitment requirements, whatever they may be.

Disrupt RPO will also work closely with you to create processes, review processes, and clearly define a workflow process that works for you. Because every company is different, right!

Are you too small for Disrupt RPO?

RPO
No items found.

Size doesn’t always matter! In fact, our RPO model is based on the amount of hires you make in a 12-month period.  

The minimum amount of new hires is 12 in a 12-month period.

What happens if you don’t need to recruit 12+ new people within 12 months?

RPO
No items found.

If you don’t think you will have 12 new vacancies but would love to work with us (and why wouldn’t you) then our Disrupt On-Demand (Retained) product is the one for you.

How long does an RPO take to implement?

RPO
No items found.

In reality, we can start immediately. But the more time we put in at the beginning, the smoother the implementation. Trust us, we’re doctors (that’s not true, we’re recruiters, but you can still trust us)

We would suggest allowing between 3 - 8 weeks from scoping out your requirements to full roll-out…. Depending on the complexity and system implementations.

What makes Disrupt RPO different to other RPO’s?

RPO
No items found.

At the heart of what we do it’s the same thing – recruit new people into your business.

BUT....At DiSRUPT we have broken the system and redesigned our recruitment agency from the ground up by taking only the very best bits of modern recruitment and technology and coupling it with access to leading organisations in D&I, Mental Health, Sustainability, Wellbeing and Leadership and Governance.

On top of the Recruitment side, you will receive access to a huge range of benefits for your business all delivered by our team of inclusive workforce experts

  1. Diversity & Inclusion Support (Strategy Review, Assessments, Workshops)
  1. Wellbeing Support (Strategy Review, Assessments, Workshops)

RPO’s are like fine wines…. They get better with age! So the minimum contract length is 12 months.

It takes time and effort to implement an RPO correctly which is why we ask for a commitment of 12 months.

What happens if we are not happy with Disrupt RPO once we have ‘gone live’ ?

RPO
No items found.

Ouch! Whilst we sincerely hope this doesn’t happen, we would of course want to fully understand what isn’t quite working and in the first instance do our very best to rectify the problems. That said, we know that some things just don’t work out and we would be sure to work out a situation where we offer a handover period and look to terminate your contract.

Do you only work with B-Corps, SME’s, Start-Ups and Scale-Ups?

RPO
Recruitment Agency

Having spent so long in recruitment, we have grown to understand where we can add the most value, where we can build the best relationships and importantly, have the most amount of impact.  

We also love working with businesses where things change quickly, where we can help solve problems and where we’re not just working with an ATS to upload a CV waiting for an automated message with updates!

Being an SME ourselves, we have ‘real-life’ experience of good times, bad times, Pandemic times and most other times that there are…. And we wouldn’t change it for the world

Do we have specialist Job Boards available to attract talent to your business?

RPO
Recruitment Agency

Absolutely!! We subscribe to all of the major Job Boards, LinkedIn and our very own Job Board, Includability.

If there is a specific Job Board that you would like to subscribe to, no problem. Just let us know during the scoping call and we will do the rest.

Can you still work with other agencies if you sign a contract with Disrupt RPO?

RPO
Recruitment Agency

Fingers crossed you wouldn’t need to – that’s why we’re here.

During the scoping call we will discuss your existing relationships with agencies and will make contact with the ones you would like us to partner with.  

Our main remit is to fill your vacancies within the agreed SLA’s and there may well be times that finding candidates is proving problematic. In such instances, we would call upon the support suppliers to supply additional candidates.

The beauty of this is that we maintain all contact with supplier agencies, your hiring managers don’t get bombarded and you only have one invoicing contact!

What are the payment terms?

RPO
Recruitment Agency

As much as we would love to do all of this for free, unfortunately we would require payment within 30 days of the candidate’s start date

On-Demand

General FAQs

Hmmm, it’s definitely not rocket science but there is a science to it. Ok, we’ll give you the secret recipe (but don’t tell everyone please). It’s a fine mix of bloody hard work, lots of experience, market leading systems, investment in training, treating candidates well, having great communication skills, understanding what is actually required, being able to constructively challenge and/or advise if necessary, creative thinking, making a great first impression and representing you in the right way, managing the whole recruitment process (interview preparation, feedback, organising the offer, keeping in touch during the notice period, contributing to the onboarding process), having a large amount of persistence and probably a few things that we just do but don’t even know it! So actually, recruitment is an art in it’s own right. And we couldn’t be more proud to be recruiters with sound ethics and we love it.

Can we help you write job descriptions?

Great question and the timeline to complete the Verification Process is really based around your availability and what works best for you. You will be engaging with six Verification Partners over six separate zoom calls, lasting anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, and of course there will be occasions where you might wish to have other members of your team present during those conversations. We have supported companies who have completed the Verification Process within two weeks whilst others might take a little longer based around matching up diaries and availability. To give you the time you need, we allow up to six months from completion of the Company Commitment Survey to achieving Includability Committed Employer status.  If you need just a little more time beyond that then we’re always there to support.
