How RFS Delivers RPO Solutions

RFS RPO consultants begin every engagement with a hiring diagnostic covering current cost-per-hire, average time-to-fill, hiring manager satisfaction scores, and Emiratisation gap if applicable. The diagnostic output defines the RPO model, the SLA framework, and the reporting cadence. RFS RPO teams embed into the client’s employer brand and ATS environment to ensure candidates experience a consistent hiring process.

RPO FAQ

RFS RPO clients reduce cost-per-hire by 10 to 12 percent compared to their pre-RPO baseline. The reduction comes from eliminating third-party agency mark-ups, reducing time-to-fill through dedicated resources, and lowering hiring manager time spent on screening and administration. The exact reduction depends on the client's starting position and the RPO model selected.
RFS offers four RPO models. On-Demand RPO activates surge capacity during hiring spikes without permanent headcount. Enterprise RPO replaces the internal TA function entirely with RFS managing all hiring under agreed SLAs. Project-Based RPO delivers a fixed number of hires within a defined timeline for market entry or rapid expansion. Hybrid RPO combines RFS resources with the client's internal team to manage specific functions or geographies.
RFS RPO implementation covers four to eight weeks from diagnostic to first hire. The first two weeks cover the hiring diagnostic and scoping. Weeks three and four cover ATS integration, employer brand alignment, and SLA agreement. Active hiring begins in week five at the latest. [RFS DATA: insert actual average implementation-to-first-hire timeline, 2023-2024]
RFS RPO engagements include Emiratisation quota tracking for clients operating in the 14 MOHRE-designated sectors under Cabinet Resolution No. 18 of 2022. The RPO hiring plan is built to meet MOHRE quota targets alongside commercial hiring goals. The MOHRE fine for each missing Emiratisation slot stands at AED 108,000 per position per year (2025), rising to AED 120,000 from 2026 as of 2024. RFS tracks your quota position throughout the engagement to prevent penalty exposure.
All hires for onshore UAE entities under RFS RPO are processed under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Hires for DIFC entities fall under DIFC Employment Law No. 2 of 2019. Hires for ADGM entities fall under the ADGM Employment Regulations 2019. RFS applies the correct employment law framework automatically based on the entity's registered jurisdiction at the time of offer.
