What we do for candidates

Every organisation was a startup at some point and we have created a process which will use our knowledge of how to embed company values into every recruitment campaign and be that first impression for your company. We even created our very own standard, Includability, which is jam packed with inclusive organisations, including B Corps and startups!

DiSRUPT Recruitment FAQs

Find out the what, how, when and why of being unapologetically different.

Are you too small for Disrupt RPO?
RPO

Size doesn’t always matter! In fact, our RPO model is based on the amount of hires you make in a 12-month period.  

The minimum amount of new hires is 12 in a 12-month period.

Do you only work with B-Corps, SME’s, Start-Ups and Scale-Ups?
RPO

Having spent so long in recruitment, we have grown to understand where we can add the most value, where we can build the best relationships and importantly, have the most amount of impact.  

We also love working with businesses where things change quickly, where we can help solve problems and where we’re not just working with an ATS to upload a CV waiting for an automated message with updates!

Being an SME ourselves, we have ‘real-life’ experience of good times, bad times, Pandemic times and most other times that there are…. And we wouldn’t change it for the world

How long does an RPO take to implement?
RPO

In reality, we can start immediately. But the more time we put in at the beginning, the smoother the implementation. Trust us, we’re doctors (that’s not true, we’re recruiters, but you can still trust us)

We would suggest allowing between 3 - 8 weeks from scoping out your requirements to full roll-out…. Depending on the complexity and system implementations.

Is an RPO right for your company?
RPO

Great question! This is an important one to consider. Choosing Disrupt RPO to become your flexible strategic Recruitment Partner means you will have an entirely bespoke product to suit your immediate recruitment needs, whilst having huge flexibility to adjust to your future recruitment requirements, whatever they may be.

Disrupt RPO will also work closely with you to create processes, review processes, and clearly define a workflow process that works for you. Because every company is different, right!

How long is the Disrupt On-Demand contract for?
On-Demand

You can choose from 12, 24 or 36 months.

What are the minimum contract length for an RPO?
RPO

RPO’s are like fine wines…. They get better with age! So the minimum contract length is 12 months.

It takes time and effort to implement an RPO correctly which is why we ask for a commitment of 12 months.

What are the payment terms?
RPO

As much as we would love to do all of this for free, unfortunately we would require payment within 30 days of the candidate’s start date
