More than hiring a contractor or full time recruiter, The Bowdoin Group is the Recruitment Process Outsourcing partner for your business. Our team has a deep technical and scientific understanding of the health and technology ecosystems so we quickly understand the needs of your business and the intricacies of the industry. We passionately pursue building relationships with highly qualified candidates so we can quickly deliver talent for your business.

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?
With talent shortages in healthcare, life sciences and related industries, attracting the most qualified people has become more challenging than ever… more so if your business needs to grow quickly.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing, or RPO, is the practice of transferring a business’s hiring system to an outside provider. Where executive search focuses on finding the strategy creators, C-level leaders and business leadership, RPO is about strategically partnering in the holistic talent acquisition process and finding candidates to take on the roles that implement your company’s strategy and best represent your brand.

Bowdoin RPO vs. Recruiters
Recruiters and contingency recruitment agencies charge a fee-per-recruit for their talent acquisition services. While this might work well for companies that only need a few team members, it’s not a sustainable approach for real growth or many real businesses.
