Client Overview
A rapidly expanding company faced an ambitious hiring goal—closing 80+ positions within just three months. With an average Cost-to-Company (CTC) of ₹6 LPA per hire, the organization sought an agile and cost-efficient recruitment strategy to avoid the exorbitant expenses of conventional hiring models.
The Challenge: Speed, Scale & Cost
Traditional hiring avenues presented a significant financial burden. Partnering with external recruitment agencies would have meant shelling out a minimum of 8.33% of the annual CTC per hire. Given that at least 60-70% of the roles required immediate attention, this would have amounted to an overwhelming cost. Alternatively, building an in-house recruitment team would have entailed infrastructure investment, long-term salary commitments, and operational overhead—only to be left with redundant resources once the hiring drive concluded.
The client needed a strategic solution that could combine speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness without sacrificing quality.
The Solution: A Customized RPO Model
Navvyasa Consulting stepped in with a Project-Based Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solution, meticulously designed to align with the client’s aggressive hiring timelines. The engagement was tailored to:
- Accelerate time-to-hire by leveraging our extensive talent networks and tech-driven sourcing methodologies.
- Optimize recruitment costs, eliminating the need for excessive agency commissions.
- Provide a scalable hiring model, ensuring efficiency without long-term internal resource constraints.
The Execution: Efficiency at Its Best
Through a multi-channel sourcing strategy, data-backed recruitment methodologies, and an expert team of recruiters, the project saw record-breaking closures. Key milestones achieved:
✅ 80+ roles successfully closed within the stipulated 3-month timeframe.
✅ Significant cost savings compared to traditional agency hiring fees.
✅ Enhanced candidate experience, ensuring long-term employer branding benefits.
By seamlessly integrating with the client’s internal HR processes, we functioned as an extension of their team, providing end-to-end recruitment support without the need for permanent staffing additions.
The Impact: Cost Optimization & Hiring Success
Had the client opted for external recruitment agencies, they would have incurred upwards of ₹40 Lakh in fees (based on a minimum 8.33% commission per role). Our RPO engagement slashed these costs drastically while delivering the same level of efficiency, if not better.
Furthermore, hiring an in-house recruitment team would have resulted in long-term overhead costs, with the added challenge of reallocation or redundancy post-project completion. Instead, with our agile RPO model, they were able to pay only for the recruitment expertise they needed—when they needed it.
Key Takeaways: Why RPO Works for Short & Long-Term Hiring Needs
Whether for a high-volume short-term hiring sprint or a long-term talent acquisition strategy, RPO provides companies with an adaptable, cost-efficient, and high-performance recruitment model. This engagement showcased how an RPO solution can be a game-changer—providing both immediate hiring impact and long-term operational savings.
🔹 Faster hiring cycles—reducing vacancy time and productivity loss.
🔹 Drastically lower costs compared to traditional recruitment models.
🔹 A fully flexible hiring structure—scaling up or down based on real-time demand.
Final Thought
For businesses looking to scale efficiently without ballooning recruitment expenses, an RPO partnership offers a strategic advantage—delivering both speed and savings without compromise. This case study stands as a testament to the power of well-executed recruitment outsourcing.
