Scale Your Hiring… Only When You Need It

RPOLite™ is FM Talent’s flexible, fractional recruiting model. Pay only for the support you need.

No long-term commitments . No overhead

What is RPOLite

RPOLite™ is our pay-as-you-go recruitment model designed for small and mid-sized teams that must scale smartly after a contract win or seasonal surge. Instead of carrying full-time recruiting headcount, you tap our experienced recruiters and tools only when you need them—and turn it off when you don’t.

You get:

  • Candidate identification & sourcing

  • Qualification against position requirements

  • Interest, availability, and salary/comp screening

  • Pipeline reporting and handoff to your hiring manager/ATS

Why it exists: Traditional internal recruiting can cost $150,000–$225,000/year per FTE (salary, benefits, overhead) whether you’re hiring or not. RPO Lite clients save up to ~61% annually while getting enterprise-grade recruiting on demand.

When to Use RPO Lite

  • Post-Award Hiring: Stand up teams fast after contract award.

  • Proposal → Delivery Handoff: Convert contingent pipelines to hires.

  • Seasonal or Project Surges: Add recruiting power for 30–120 days.

  • Hard-to-Fill or Multi-site Roles: Broaden reach without overhead.

  • Small/Mid-Size Agencies & Teams: All the capability, none of the fixed cost.

How RPOLite Works
