FAQs about Recruitment Process Outsourcing
What does Recruitment Process Outsourcing mean?
Recruiting on demand means that you as a company transfer all or part of your recruitment to an external service provider – flexibly on an hourly basis, without long-term contracts. The provider acts as an extension of your HR department and supplies personnel, technology and methodology for your open vacancies. In Germany, 34% of companies already use external recruiting support according to Hays Fachkräfteindex 2024. With Kooku, recruiting on demand projects start within 72 hours – including all relevant sourcing tools and a weekly KPI dashboard.
What are the benefits of Recruitment Process Outsourcing?
Recruiting on Demand works on the principle of a scalable, flexible solution: you only pay for the hours that are actually used for sourcing. Compared to traditional headhunters, companies save an average of 40-60% of costs as there are no performance-based commissions. Kooku works with transparent effort estimates and weekly reports that make every phase of the process measurable. Based on over 200 customer projects since 2014, customers have achieved a reduction in cost-per-hire of up to 60%. All tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and Xing Talentmanager are included.
How does Recruitment Process Outsourcing work?
With Recruiting on Demand, a specialized consulting team works with your company to understand your hiring needs and develop a suitable solution. The team takes responsibility for the entire recruitment process: from direct search and active sourcing to structured interviews and candidate qualification. At Kooku, all recruiters are trained in active sourcing, interviewing and project management. You will receive your first qualified candidate profiles in under 10 days, with an average response rate of 60% for direct approach, based on over 150 client projects since 2014. Quality guarantee: at least 3 suitable profiles in the first month.
What is the difference between recruiting on demand and traditional recruitment?
With traditional recruitment agencies in Germany, you pay a performance-based commission of 20-25% of the annual salary per hire. Recruiting on Demand works differently: you only pay for the recruiting hours actually worked. This makes your cost-per-hire transparent and predictable. You benefit from synergy effects, especially if you have several vacancies – Kooku customers save an average of 40-60% on 3+ parallel vacancies compared to traditional headhunters, based on over 200 customer projects. All tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and Xing Talentmanager are included, with no hidden additional costs.
How does recruiting on demand differ from temporary work?
Recruiting on demand is not temporary work. Temporary work involves providing an employee who is employed by the service provider and works for the client. With Recruiting on Demand, Kooku provides a recruiting service: our permanent recruiters search for and qualify candidates for you – recruitment then takes place directly between you and the candidate. For you, this means direct employment contracts with your new employees and full control over the recruitment process. Kooku has been working exclusively with permanent recruiters since 2014 and supports over 200 client companies in Germany.
Recruiting on demand vs. interim recruiting - which is better?
The choice depends on the number of vacancies and project duration. Recruiting on Demand is suitable for 1-2 individual positions with a flexible term – you only pay for the hours actually worked, with no minimum term. Interim Recruiting is the better choice for 3 or more parallel vacancies over 3-12 months – the Interim Recruiter integrates directly into your HR team and takes over the operational recruiting completely. For C-Level and Director positions, Kooku X offers the Executive Search Service. Rule of thumb: 1-2 positions = Recruiting on Demand, 3+ positions = Interim Recruiting, executives above 80k = Executive Search. All three models work with weekly KPI reports and without traditional headhunter commissions.
