But attracting, hiring and retaining the right people, who have the skills you need and who match your company culture is incredibly challenging.

Why Talent Quality Matters
Gallup’s 2025 State of the Global Workplace Report highlights a growing sense of disengagement, especially among junior managers in today’s labour market. This disengagement results in decreased productivity and higher turnover rates. The solution to these issues lies in hiring the right people from the start.
That means employees who fit well within the company culture and are equipped with the right skills. They tend to stay longer, perform better, and contribute positively to the overall company atmosphere. With better talent quality, you’ll experience far reaching effects on your business. These include:
- Increased Performance
Quality hires perform at a higher level, driving better business outcomes. They have the technical skills and greater adaptability and problem-solving abilities, helping them tackle challenges more effectively and achieve higher levels of productivity. They are often proactive, taking ownership of their roles and looking for opportunities to add value.
- Improved Retention
When employees feel connected to the organisation’s mission and are placed in roles that suit their strengths, they are more likely to stay long-term. High-quality hires are often more engaged, as they see a clear path for personal and professional growth within the company. This reduces turnover, which can be costly for businesses.
- Stronger Company Culture
Quality talent not only contributes to productivity but also helps shape the company’s culture. They lead by example, influencing their peers and setting a high standard for work ethic, communication, and innovation.
- A More Appealing Employer Brand
Building talent quality into your recruitment process early can strengthen your employer brand. A strong brand that demonstrates a commitment to your workforce makes it easier to attract even better candidates in the future, creating a cycle of success.
Key RPO Benefits That Support Better Hiring
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) offers several benefits when it comes to improving talent quality and improving hiring outcomes:
- Faster Time-to-Hire
By streamlining recruitment processes, RPO significantly reduces the time it takes to fill critical roles.
- Larger Talent Pools
RPO providers expand the talent pool by sourcing from passive candidates, specialised networks, and global markets.
- Improved Candidate Experience
RPO providers ensure that candidates have a seamless and positive experience, which helps build a strong employer brand and increases the likelihood of successful hires.
- Cost Efficiency
By consolidating recruitment efforts, RPO reduces the reliance on multiple agencies, cutting costs while improving the quality of hires.
- Data-driven Insights
RPO solutions provide transparency and actionable insights that help businesses understand the effectiveness of their hiring processes and make continuous improvements.
Measuring Your Quality of Hire
Before you choose an RPO provider, it’s worth assessing your existing hiring processes to determine your current talent quality. This will help identify any current issues. You can then reassess later and get a good idea of the improvement in quality of hire RPO has provided.
Some key metrics to measure your quality of hire include:
- Time-to-hire: A shorter time-to-hire typically indicates an efficient recruitment process, although it should not come at the expense of quality.
- Employee performance: Evaluating the performance of new hires within the first 6–12 months can provide insight into the effectiveness of your recruitment process.
- Retention rate: High retention rates among new hires suggest that the recruitment process is aligning well with the company culture and role requirements.
- Hiring manager satisfaction: Gathering feedback from hiring managers can help assess whether new hires meet expectations and contribute positively to the team.
