What we offer
Staff Augmentation
Staff augmentation is a critical component of any agency’s overall talent strategy, and Backline Talent offers a holistic, consultative approach with rigorous screening and 24/7 recruitment process to provide speed and efficiency in finding the right candidates.
Permanent Placement Recruiting

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
RPO offers a cost-effective solution for employers to outsource their recruitment process, enabling them to scale their recruiting capacity as needed, without incurring additional (and often inflexible) expenses for in-house recruiters or recruitment agencies.
Staff Argumentation
Today’s business environment has witnessed a tremendous surge in the use of contingent workers across organizations worldwide, with staff augmentation being the most common way of filling that need. The demand for staff augmentation stems from a wide range of scenarios:
Increased capacity to cope with a temporary spike in routine work.
Need for specialized skills from out-of-house experts.
A bridge-to-hire approach to provide short-to-mid-term capacity while recruiting for permanent role.
Building agile organizations using flexible labor for a competitive edge.
When used strategically to fill these roles, staff augmentation can be a critical component of any agency’s overall talent strategy.
The key to this is to accurately assess when staff augmentation is the correct choice vs. other models such as permanent placement recruiting, contract-to-hire, recruitment process outsourcing, or an in-house recruiting department.
Ultimately, no single model is a silver bullet to fill all your talent needs, so the goal always needs to be a clear-eyed assessment of which model/s will provide the best combination of cost, speed, and efficiency. The majority of our clients end up utilizing a mix of our services in shifting configurations as their needs grow and evolve.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is the quintessential solution for employers and Human Resources (HR) professionals who seek seamless, high-touch experiences for job candidates sans the administrative burdens that come with recruitment. This innovative business model acts as the company’s in-house recruiter, providing flexibility and efficiency to the recruitment process. By transferring ownership of all or part of an employer’s recruitment process to a third-party specialist, RPO allows organizations to scale their resources as requisitions fluctuate so they can meet hiring demands without incurring additional expenses to pay for in-house recruiters or recruitment agencies.
The benefits of outsourcing talent acquisition through RPO are numerous, including:
Reduced recruitment costs
Faster time to fill
Compliance support
Diversified talent pools
Advanced technology
Decreased turnover
Improved data and reporting capabilities
Employers who seek outsourcing recruitment through RPO must assess their people, processes, and technology to ascertain whether the hiring challenges of limited team bandwidth, decentralized or inefficient processes, seasonal hiring demands, compliance risks, high recruitment costs, lack of specialized recruitment expertise, organic growth, and limited applicant tracking system functionality warrants outsourcing their recruitment.
When choosing an RPO provider, employers must ensure that the provider offers innovative and consultative solutions, customization capabilities, alignment with the client’s mission and culture, understanding of talent market trends, proven results driven by data analytics, and scalability to accommodate growth. RPO companies offer job postings, resume reviews, interviews, market analyses, niche recruiting, and other strategic guidance and support services for the talent acquisition process.
When evaluating RPO pricing models, employers must consider scope of work, hiring volumes and fluctuations, locations, position requirements and timing, and resource requirements, along with all ancillary fees that could affect their overall recruitment budget. In summary, RPO services provide a complete solution that allows organizations to streamline their recruitment process and focus on their core business, achieve cost savings, better compliance and improved hiring metrics.
