Short answer? No.
RPO, or Recruitment Process Outsourcing, benefits aren’t just for enterprise giants with high-volume hiring needs. In fact, small to mid-sized businesses often benefit most from the flexibility, expertise, and efficiency an RPO provider like Brunel delivers.
If you're wondering whether your company is too small for RPO, and if your talent acquisition strategy could use some improvement, it’s likely that you’re already feeling some growing pains. This is a good problem to have. On one hand, you're growing, but on the other, you're not growing effectively.
Let’s look at the common problems smaller businesses face—and how RPO solutions for small companies can solve them.
Common Hiring Pain Points for Smaller Companies (& Our RPO Solutions)
Time Wasted on Hiring
Most small teams don’t have a dedicated recruitment function. Hiring often falls to HR generalists, operations leads, or even the founder—people who already have a lot on their plates. Although well-intended, this practice leads to long time-to-hire, poor candidate experience, and roles sitting unfilled.
Lack of recruitment technologies or applicant tracking systems only makes things worse.

Lack of Talent Pipeline
When you're growing, you need to move fast—but without a pipeline of pre-qualified candidates, each new role turns into a scramble. Small companies can’t afford that kind of delay. And with the war for talent still kicking, the race to get the best candidates can make things even more difficult.
