RPO industry making waves vs BPO
RPO is a natural progression wherein the skills workers in BPO can transition to RPO.

The recruitment process outsourcing has expanded immensely over the last few years, offering a tailwind of opportunities for Filipinos amid these trying times.
Cybil Getgood, RPO company TeamRecruit's chief marketing officer, said RPO jobs are lucrative propositions, adding that the industry has expanded to a $5.48 billion market globally with a compound annual growth rate of 18.5 percent in the next seven years.
"If people are asking why RPO companies and professionals make more than business process outsourcing, it is actually because RPO roles have commissions. If you look at headhunters locally or abroad, they earn a placement fee whenever they have a successful placement. It's the same thing for us. Whenever we place a candidate in a hospital or a tech company in the US, our recruiter makes a commission here," Getgood said during her interview with the Daily Tribune's digital morning show Gising Na!
She said the employees of TeamRecruit are all remotely working as an outsourcing company and are working with talent/ candidates who are already offshore.
Future plans
Getgood said they have better and more aggressive growth plans for the company in the coming years.
"We've worked with large hospital facilities in the United States and greatly supported them. We have many companies looking to invest in deploying nurses, and I know it brings interest to our clients," she said.
Her company, TeamRecruit, is an enlisting firm and RPO services provider with workforce solutions tailored to meet the dynamic staffing needs of healthcare and technology companies.
"What makes us stand out and different in the RPO industry is that we are the most rewarding company to work for. Suppose you look at Facebook and LinkedIn posts. In that case, some of our members who came from a BPO setting are saying that they were able to buy houses, cars, and appliances because of our company, completely and continuously changing their lives," she said.
According to Getgood, her company provides a minimum of P10,000 and a maximum of P200,000 in terms of commission, making employees say that working with TeamRecruit was indeed rewarding.
