Our Recruitment Expertise - Specialist Markets
Helping you to find a foothold in some of the toughest tech markets out there, our Specialist Markets solutions are the definition of expert-led.
RPO & Total Talent Acquisition
Our Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)/Total Talent Acquisition (TTA) models set you apart from the competition. Our models are flexible for your future but robust for your users. They are tailored to you but put you in proven trustworthy hands. We’ll help you to unlock new talent pools, raise your brand awareness and become a magnet for passive talent. Putting candidate and stakeholder experience at the heart of our delivery, we’ll also shape and futureproof your strategy by harnessing innovation and best practice. We attract, select and retain the permanent talent to ensure you are the employer of choice.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) means completely or partially outsourcing your permanent recruitment services to an external recruitment service provider. This can span everything from workforce planning and talent mapping through to support with talent attraction and employer branding. Our RPO solutions include a dedicated, expert-led delivery team and specialist technology to optimise processes. Total Talent Acquisition is an extension of RPO and integrates both RPO and MSP into a single, outsourced solution. Covering the entire talent lifecycle for permanent and temporary hires, our TTA solutions offer a holistic, aerial view of the entire resourcing landscape.
If you are looking for a single source for your permanent recruitment and regularly need permanent hires, RPO is the right choice for you. If this is also true for your contingent recruitment – or you have a medium to large sized contingent population – consider TTA. RPO or TTA is best for businesses that are looking for a long-term solution that will improve talent attraction and retention while also enhancing customer and candidate experience.

We take responsibility for the full contingent lifecycle on your behalf, from workforce planning and supplier management to contractor care and offboarding. In our experience, the most effective MSP solutions have an aligned account management team, an optimised vendor management system (VMS) and a keen focus on control and cost savings.
If you have a medium to large-sized contingent workforce, an MSP/CWS solution will work for you.

Expert-led and covering a broad spectrum of tech and digital verticals, our consultants are vertically aligned to give you an in-depth understanding of specific tech markets and emerging tech stacks and help you find the talent that others can’t.

These can range from e-commerce, gaming, digital health, and financial services alongside traditional sectors including software engineering and digital marketing. From individual hires to teams of experts, immediate need to ongoing demand, we map the market and deliver. Representing the highest standard of expertise in the industry, we help you find the talent that others can’t.

Statement of Work (SOW)
Powered by Lorien, Valinor is our Statement of Work solution, a technology, advisory and project delivery specialist. Bringing quality, efficiency, and transparency to every Statement of Work programme, we work closely with our clients to manage the end-to-end process of project delivery
with complete care and control.
Statement of Work (SOW) models are outcome-based contracts. We provide experts to deliver services against a defined set of outputs, milestones, or deliverables.
A Statement of Work offers an alternative to conventional recruitment models. Instead of supplying resources on an hourly basis, a SOW project provides fixed costs for achieving set milestones or deliverables. This service offers an alternative for businesses whose requirements mean they may not get the same value in terms of cost and efficiency from traditional talent models.
