Workforce Outsourcing Solutions for Organisations Focused on What They Do Best
As organisations in China grow in complexity, the internal resources required to manage recruitment, workforce administration, and talent operations often struggle to keep pace. Hiring cycles lengthen, quality becomes inconsistent, and HR teams that should be focused on strategic priorities find themselves consumed by operational recruitment demands. PERSOLYC's outsourcing solutions take ownership of your talent acquisition and workforce management functions, so your internal teams can focus on the work that drives your business. With over 30 years of operating in Greater China, we bring the market knowledge, the process discipline, and the regulatory familiarity that effective outsourcing in China demands.
Workforce outsourcing in China covers a range of models, from full Recruitment Process Outsourcing where PERSOLYC manages your end-to-end hiring function, to more targeted managed services arrangements for specific business units, locations, or hiring categories. The right model depends on your volume, your internal capability, and where the operational pressure is greatest. PERSOLYC designs outsourcing engagements around your actual requirements, not a standard product. We bring 30+ years of China market experience, industry specialisation across six key verticals, and the operational infrastructure of an 80+ office APAC network to every outsourcing engagement. Review note for China team: This outsourcing page is scoped around RPO, managed staffing, labour dispatch, and talent consulting, reflecting the services currently active in the China market. It does not reference the three-pillar BPO model (Customer Experience, Corporate Services, Technical Solutions) used in the rest of the market’s outsourcing pages.

What We Deliver
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
For organisations with high-volume or ongoing hiring requirements, PERSOLYC's RPO solution takes full or partial ownership of your recruitment function. We manage the end-to-end process from job briefing and candidate sourcing through screening, interview coordination, and offer management, acting as an extension of your internal HR team. RPO is one of the fastest-growing services PERSOLYC offers in China, driven by demand from MNCs and enterprise clients looking to bring consistency, speed, and cost efficiency to large-scale hiring programmes.
Managed Staffing Solutions
For clients with specific business units, functions, or locations that require dedicated recruitment support, we provide a managed staffing solution with assigned PERSOLYC consultants, agreed service levels, and regular performance reporting. This model works well for organisations that want dedicated support without building a full in-house recruitment team.
Labour Dispatch and Workforce Administration
For clients managing large contingent workforces, PERSOLYC handles the employment, payroll, social insurance, and compliance administration under China's labour dispatch framework, allowing clients to maintain operational flexibility while managing regulatory risk appropriately.
Talent Consulting and Advisory
For organisations that need strategic support rather than transactional delivery, PERSOLYC's consulting capability provides talent market analysis, hiring strategy advisory, and workforce planning support. This is increasingly in demand from China-based clients navigating rapid industry change and evolving talent availability.
What Sets PERSOLYC China Apart
30+ years of China market expertise
PERSOLYC has been operating in Greater China since the 1990s. That accumulated market knowledge, regulatory familiarity, and industry network is the foundation of effective outsourcing delivery in China's complex and fast-moving environment.
RPO is a growing PERSOLYC strength in China
RPO is one of our fastest-growing service lines in China, driven by demand from enterprise and MNC clients who need a more structured, scalable approach to high-volume hiring. Our RPO capability has been tested and refined across multiple large-scale engagements.
Industry specialisation built into every engagement
Our outsourcing teams bring the same industry depth as our specialist recruitment consultants. Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Banking and Financial Services, Technology, and Consumer verticals each have dedicated expertise within our outsourcing practice.
Regional scale for clients with broader APAC requirements
80+ offices across 13 APAC markets mean PERSOLYC can extend outsourcing support beyond China for clients with regional operations, with consistent delivery standards and local compliance knowledge in each market.
A partner relationship from day one
We take long-term outsourcing engagements seriously. Our model is built around understanding your business deeply, not simply filling roles. Clients who work with PERSOLYC on outsourcing engagements consistently describe the relationship as a trusted partnership.
How We Engage
We begin every outsourcing engagement by understanding your current state. Where is the pressure? What is working and what is not? What does success look like in six months and in two years? We do not propose a model before we understand the business.
From solution design and implementation through ongoing performance management, we stay close to delivery. Regular structured reviews ensure the engagement continues to meet your requirements as your business evolves.
