Fact: Recruitment outsourcing is on pace to break new records in 2025, with demand up more than 10% over last year.
- The global Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) market hit $9.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $22.9 billion by 2030, growing at over 15% each year.
- Just five years ago, fewer than half of U.S. companies used outside partners for hiring. Now, over 60% of major U.S. businesses outsource at least one core function. For many, recruitment is at the top of that list.
Why Are So Many Companies Making the Switch?
Business—and hiring—looks completely different now.
There was a time when keeping everything in-house made sense. Teams were smaller, people wore more hats, and things moved at a slower pace. But today, technology changes quickly, competition is everywhere, and most business processes need real specialization. Trying to manage everything internally just isn’t as efficient anymore.
For a lot of companies, outsourcing has become the smarter, faster, and often more affordable choice. Think of it like ordering dinner from a good restaurant: you skip the shopping, cooking, and cleanup, and end up with something better and less stressful. The time and quality you get back usually outweigh the cost.
Recruitment is no different. Modern hiring takes real expertise, the right tools, and ongoing attention. That’s why so many organizations now work with recruitment partners—to save time, keep their teams focused, and get better results.
This is the new standard. Companies that make the switch are building stronger teams, growing faster, and letting their people focus on what matters most.
