Managed Recruiting Services
Your entire recruiting function, outsourced to a team that has been doing this for 13 years. Scale hiring without building an internal talent acquisition department.
What Are Managed Recruiting Services?
Managed recruiting services — also called Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) — means we take over part or all of your talent acquisition function. Instead of hiring an internal recruiting team, training them, buying sourcing tools, and managing the entire infrastructure, you get a dedicated team from Synapse that operates as if they are your own employees.
This is not transactional staffing. Your dedicated team learns your business, your culture, your hiring managers' preferences, and your employer brand. They build talent pipelines proactively, not reactively. They report to you weekly with pipeline metrics, time-to-fill data, and market intelligence. And they are backed by AI sourcing that no internal team of equivalent size could afford on its own.
The economics work because recruiting infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain, but cheap to share. We amortize our AI platform, our recruiter training programs, our compliance frameworks, and our candidate databases across all of our managed services clients. You get enterprise-grade recruiting capability at a fraction of the build cost.
How It Works
Discovery & Scoping
We audit your current hiring needs, volume, timelines, and employer brand. Together we define the scope — which roles, which locations, which functions we will own.
Build Your Dedicated Team
We assign a dedicated recruiting team sized to your volume. This includes a program manager, sourcing specialists, and recruiters with domain expertise in your industry.
Execute & Optimize
Your team runs the full recruiting lifecycle — sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, managing offers. AI handles candidate identification at scale. Weekly reporting keeps you informed.
Scale & Adapt
Hiring surge? We add capacity. Slowdown? We scale back. The team flexes with your business without the fixed cost of internal headcount. Quarterly reviews refine the process.
Industries We Serve
Managed recruiting teams with deep domain knowledge in the sectors where hiring volume is high and talent is scarce.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is managed services different from using a staffing agency?
A traditional staffing agency fills individual roles on a transactional basis. Managed services (RPO) means we embed a dedicated recruiting team that operates as your talent acquisition department. We own the process end-to-end — sourcing, pipeline management, employer branding, offer management, and reporting. It is a partnership, not a transaction.
What does managed recruiting cost?
Managed services are typically priced as a monthly management fee plus a per-hire fee, or a blended monthly rate based on expected volume. This is usually 20-40% less expensive than maintaining an equivalent internal TA team when you factor in salaries, benefits, tools, and infrastructure. We provide transparent pricing during the scoping phase.
Do we lose control of our hiring process?
No. You retain final decision-making on every hire. We execute the process according to your standards, using your employer brand, and following your interview framework. Think of it as having your own TA team — just one that we recruit, train, manage, and scale for you.
How long does it take to get started?
A typical ramp-up takes 2-4 weeks. During that time we complete discovery, assign your team, integrate with your ATS and tools, align on processes, and begin sourcing. For urgent needs, we can run an accelerated onboarding in as little as one week.
