Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Sometimes you don’t just need candidates—you need a dedicated recruiting team. That’s where our RPO services come in.

With RPO, Cannonball Recruiting becomes your full-scale recruiting department. We can dedicate:

  • One recruiter working exclusively for you full-time (40 hours per week)
  • A team of recruiters to handle high-volume or specialized hiring needs

You choose the model—either a set hourly rate or a flat monthly fee—and we take it from there. Our recruiters work as an extension of your team, representing your brand in the marketplace while using our proven processes, tools, and networks to find the best talent faster.

This model gives you total flexibility to scale up or down based on hiring demands, without the cost or commitment of maintaining a large in-house recruiting staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RPO recruitment meaning for skilled trades?
It means you outsource your hiring process to us, fully or partially. We recruit for you, manage compliance, and onboard your skilled tradespeople. This frees up your internal team and speeds up hiring without sacrificing quality.

What makes your RPO services different from other recruitment outsourcing companies?
We only focus on skilled trades. Our recruiters aren’t generalists; they know what makes a good welder, pipefitter, or HVAC tech, and they source accordingly. That expertise leads to faster placements and better job site performance.

Do you offer Employer of Record (EOR) services?
Yes. We can serve as the legal employer for contract workers. That includes payroll, insurance, and compliance, so you stay focused on the job at hand. It’s one less admin headache for your team to deal with.

Can I switch from RPO to direct hire later?
Absolutely. Many clients start with RPO for speed and control, then convert successful workers to full-time when the fit is right. We support that transition so it’s seamless on both sides.
