Overview
Cpl delivered an embedded Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partnership for a global technology organisation, adding specialist engineering recruitment capacity during a major growth programme.
Working as an extension of the client’s established Talent Acquisition function, Cpl supported specialist hiring across multiple engineering teams while operating within the client’s existing recruitment systems, workflows and governance.
Cpl helped the organisation hire more than 100 specialist engineers across a 12-month programme without disrupting business-as-usual recruitment and with a 92%+ acceptance rate.
Background
The technology organisation had a mature Talent Acquisition function supporting recruitment across multiple regions. A significant engineering growth programme created demand for over 100+ specialist hires within a year, stretching internal recruitment capacity.
The organisation needed a recruitment partner that could add capacity, integrate with established processes, and protect the candidate and hiring manager experience.
Challenge
Scaling specialist engineering hiring while maintaining a strong candidate experience was the central challenge. Experienced engineers were unlikely to respond to generic vacancy-led outreach, so engagement needed to reflect the client’s technical priorities, team structures and role expectations.
