Understanding RPO

The bandwidth problem every solo recruiter knows

You're billing well. Your clients trust you. But there's only one of you — and the moment you're deep in a placement, business development stalls. Candidate pipelines dry up. Revenue becomes unpredictable.

An offshore Researcher Seat from MAK Outsourcing plugs directly into your workflow. We handle the search. You handle the relationship.

Why MAK Outsourcing

Scale your delivery. Not your overhead.

The most successful financial recruitment firms grow by maximising the productivity of the team they already have — not by adding headcount every time a new brief lands.

MAK Outsourcing plugs directly into your workflow as a dedicated offshore research function — so your consultants stay on relationships, placements, and billing.

  • Aligned to your LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, CRM, and job board stack

  • Passive candidate identification with engagement-ready notes

How It Works

From first call to full pipeline — in days, not weeks

No lengthy onboarding. No discovery decks. No wasted time. We follow a lean, proven process that gets your researcher delivering within 48 hours.

01

Book a Discovery Call

A 30-minute conversation. We learn about your niche, your current open roles, your tools, and where the bandwidth problem is hurting you most. We ask specific questions — not generic sales questions — because we only take on clients where we know we can deliver value. If it's not a fit, we'll say so.

02

Free Trial — Share One Live Role

Send us one active brief. We go to work immediately — sourcing candidates across your target profile using LinkedIn, Boolean search, and specialist databases. Within 48 hours, you receive a structured shortlist of qualified, sourced profiles. No invoice. No commitment. Just evidence of what working with us actually looks like.

03

Researcher Onboarding

If you proceed, we assign you a dedicated researcher — a specialist aligned to your niche. They're introduced to your existing workflow: your ATS or CRM, your LinkedIn Recruiter seat (or we work alongside it), your job boards, your briefing templates. We adapt to your process. You don't rebuild your process for us.

04

Daily Delivery. Weekly Reviews.

Your researcher works either 4 or 8 hours a day depending on your chosen arrangement. Every day, profiles land in your inbox or CRM — pre-qualified, with sourcing context and engagement notes. Once a week, a short review call covers pipeline health, open role priorities, and any adjustments needed. Your pipeline stays full. You stay billable.

05

Scale Up or Down as You Need

Your business changes. Your resource requirement should too. Moving from part-time to full-time coverage? Adding a second role? Pausing for a month? We're built for flexibility. No punitive exit clauses. No fixed retainers that don't flex. A genuine partnership model — not a vendor contract.
