Your Plug-In Recruitment Department

What Is Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) for Saudi Enterprises?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a hiring model where a company transfers part or all of its recruitment process to an external partner that operates as its dedicated talent acquisition team. With Nextwo, that department runs on a flexible monthly subscription: a named dedicated recruiter, a LinkedIn Recruiter seat, and AI-powered matching and screening through BetterVue — plus recruiter-led HR interviews — deliver a qualified shortlist within 2–5 days for most roles, while your team keeps every hiring decision and employs candidates directly.

How Nextwo RPO Compares to Traditional Alternatives

The Hidden Cost and Workload of Enterprise Recruitment

Every open role carries an invisible administrative workload — sourcing, candidate messaging, screening hundreds of CVs, and interview coordination — that absorbs hours of your line managers' time each week. Instead of focusing on core strategic initiatives, internal leaders end up operating as full-time recruiters. Nextwo RPO absorbs this operational pipeline into one predictable subscription, handing your team pre-screened finalists so managers only spend time interviewing top candidates.

What's Included in Every Subscription

• Named Dedicated Recruiter — a single accountable recruiter who learns your business
• LinkedIn Recruiter Seat — full premium sourcing reach across the market
• 1 Dedicated + 2 Rotating Job Slots — one role worked continuously, two roles in parallel rotation
• BetterVue AI Matching & Screening — every candidate scored against an 80% expertise-match target
• Interview Scheduling — coordination between candidates and your hiring managers
• Weekly Pipeline Reporting — structured visibility into sourcing, screening, and shortlist progress
• Bilingual Team on Saudi Hours — English and Arabic support aligned with Saudi business hours (GMT+3)

How It Works

1. Role Intake — align on the role profile, must-have skills, and hiring criteria
2. Sourcing Launch — your recruiter starts sourcing immediately via LinkedIn Recruiter and Nextwo's networks
3. AI Matching — BetterVue scores candidates against the role with an 80% expertise-match target
4. Screening & HR Interviews — Nextwo screens and interviews before anyone reaches your shortlist
5. Qualified Shortlist in 2-5 Days for Most Roles — structured candidate profiles delivered for your review
6. You Hire — your team runs final interviews and extends the offer; the candidate joins your payroll

The BetterVue Technology Layer

Behind every Nextwo recruiter is BetterVue, Nextwo's AI recruitment platform: AI candidate matching scored against an 80% expertise-match target, automated structured screening, automated interview scheduling, and end-to-end pipeline visibility that feeds your weekly report with real numbers.

• Blockers and next steps — what we need from you and what happens next
