The New RPO Model: From Fixed Costs to Flexible Capacity
As AI continues to reshape talent acquisition, organizations are facing a bigger question than which tools to adopt: how should their recruiting infrastructure evolve? Rather than replacing recruiting, new technology is creating greater demand for flexibility, specialized talent access, scalable models, and partners who can keep pace with a rapidly changing market. On the latest episode of the HRO Today Educational Podcast, HRO Today CEO Elliot Clark speaks with Greg Summers, CEO of Orion Talent , about the evolving role of recruitment process outsourcing and the infrastructure organizations need to navigate a more cyclical and technology-driven workforce landscape. Summers shares his perspective on performance-based partnerships, variable cost models, specialized talent pools, and the challenges of keeping up with rapid technology investment. Listen in as Clark and Summers discuss why organizations should look beyond the technology itself and consider how their RPO partner's systems, processes, talent access, and ability to scale can support long-term recruiting performance.
