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.
Seasonal or Project Surges: On-demand recruiting services.
Hard-to-Fill or Niche Skillsets: Broad spectrum of diverse talent pools.
Multi-state Roles: Broaden reach without overhead.
