Recruitment Process


We break recruitment’s core tasks into seven steps. Your company may break things down differently, but the work to be done is likely the same. What’s usually not the same is the fact that here at Seven Step RPO, we’re focused on trying to get better at all of it, every single day.

A Best Practices Approach to Recruitment Process

We’re passionate about best practices. We’re constantly exploring, codifying, andsharing new ones: best practices for generating recruitment results, best practices for becoming more productive in our work, best practices for offering a higher level of RPO service to our clients.
Seven Step's process is an evolving playbook of recruitment's best practices, a playbook that has seven chapters.

Recruitment Process or Recruitment Framework?

Maybe the word “process” doesn’t even apply. If “process” makes you think of a series of defined procedures carried out in a strictly regimented order, well, we don’t have one of those. What we do have is an extremely reliable, extremely flexibleframework for delivering state-of-the-art service and results across the breadth of the recruitment spectrum.

Custom Application for Each RPO Client

Because we work from a recruiting framework and not a rigid process, we can be flexible in crafting custom RPO solutions for our clients. One client’s solution might involve all seven of the framework steps. Another’s might involve just one or two of them.
The flexibility that's inherent in Seven Step’s recruitment framework means we can be super-efficient in solving each client’s unique challenges. We can react and scale rapidly as their needs evolve.
