Time-to-fill has become the biggest bottleneck for UK staffing agencies. Clients want faster CVs, candidates expect quicker responses, and internal recruiters are overloaded.
A dedicated offshore RPO team helps solve this by adding specialist sourcing, CV screening, compliance and admin capacity — without increasing your UK payroll cost.
1. Faster sourcing coverage across roles
Offshore teams provide consistent, structured sourcing across job portals, LinkedIn, internal databases and referrals. This ensures every role receives immediate attention within minutes of going live.
2. Extended working hours (7 AM – 11 PM UK coverage)
With multi-shift offshore teams, candidate sourcing and screening continues even after your UK office closes. This alone cuts time-to-fill by 20–25%.
3. Dedicated researchers eliminate UK recruiter admin
Your UK recruiters spend more time speaking to clients & candidates — and less time searching, formatting, and writing job ads.
4. Process-driven recruitment output
- Daily sourcing reports
- Pipeline updates
- Weekly KPI reviews
- Quality checks before CV submission
5. Lower cost base = more capacity for scale
A structured offshore team costs 60–70% less than expanding in-house. Agencies can scale output without operational pressure.
Final takeaway
Agencies that implement offshore RPO teams see an average 30–40% reduction in time-to-fill within the first 90 days.
