Graduate Recruitment: How RPO Can Help Your Business Win the War for Talent

In today's job market, competition for the best graduate talent is fierce. With more and more graduates entering the workforce each year, and the largest employers consolidating their recruitment efforts, it can be tough for smaller businesses to stand out. That's where Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) providers like xPO Talent Solutions come in. By responding to market trends, strengthening employer brands, and focusing on the candidate experience, RPO providers can help businesses win the war for talent.

Our team of over 20 psychologists, supported by HR consultants and recruitment specialists, design and deliver graduate recruitment and RPO programs that are grounded in best-practice and market-leading innovation.

We can scale our services to your needs with minimal notice, and we can also offer self-sufficient delivery models, transferring our capability to your HR teams.



Our results speak for themselves

Graduate recruitment and emerging talent: technology and user experience design


At xPO Talent Solutions, we strive to bring global best practice and thought leadership to every program that we design and deliver. We focus heavily on the candidate experience from the first encounter with your employer brand to the end of the onboarding process. We are agnostic when it comes to technology and can run our programs on existing client core technology or design bespoke platforms. We work with you to decide what your candidate experience will look and feel like.


The right technology can elevate your candidate experience to a level that can help you attract and retain the best graduate talent. Tools such as marketing automation platforms, video messages, AI chatbots, and data-driven workforce planning can help you engage candidates, provide them with information and instant responses, and score them based on their level of engagement.


Assessment technology: Gateway


At xPO Talent Solutions, we know that the "how" of assessing candidates is just as important as the "what." That's why we use Chandler Macleod's online assessment platform "Assessment Gateway" to administer a range of psychological assessments tailored to our clients' specific needs. Assessment Gateway provides self-serve access, immediate results, customised branding, and reporting, as well as better candidate and user experiences.


Graduate talent marketing


At xPO Talent Solutions, we partner with GradConnection and the Financial Review to deliver the Top100 Graduate Employers and Future Leaders Competition and Awards Night. This event showcases cutting-edge assessment centre approaches every year and increases the marketing focus we can bring to our graduate recruitment customers.


We also maintain strong relationships with tertiary-level institutions and engage in proactive campus recruitment. By liaising with the offices and career sites of University Career Services, advertising on campus news boards and websites, coordinating client brand representation at campus job fairs and recruiting events, and managing full on-campus programs, we help our clients access the best graduate talent available.

At Chandler Macleod, safety is everyone's responsibility. Whether you're an employee, contractor, or labour hire, your role directly impacts workplace safety - not just for yourself, but for those around you. This blog will explore: Why understanding your role is essential for safety The importance of reporting any changes in your role How we all contribute to a strong safety culture Remember, we are all Safety Leaders! The Foundation: Understanding YOUR Role Your role is more than just your tasks—it’s about how your work connects to the safety of your team and the overall workplace. Some connections are obvious, while others are less visible. By recognising these links, we can actively contribute to a safer work environment and reinforce our commitment to quality and safety. The Pillars: How You Perform Your Role Matters Safe work practices are designed to protect you and those around you. Following established procedures minimises risks and enhances productivity. If you have suggestions for improving safety measures, speak up! Thoughtful work design creates a more efficient and secure workplace for everyone. The Change: New Role, New Responsibilities If your role changes—whether through new duties, a different project, or a shift in team structure you must inform Chandler Macleod immediately. We assess job risks and ensure you're paid correctly based on your assigned role. Any changes must be communicated so we can keep safety protocols up to date and ensure your well-being. Talking openly about safety—whether in meetings, training sessions, or daily conversations—helps strengthen our collective safety culture. Empowering Our People Every worker has the power to make the workplace safer. If you see a risk or experience a role change affecting safety, you must report it. Taking action early prevents hazards from turning into incidents. As Safety Leaders, we look out for each other and foster a culture where everyone feels empowered to speak up. Understanding your role, communicating changes, and embracing our shared responsibility for safety are key to maintaining a safe workplace. By staying informed, engaging in safety discussions, and supporting one another, we can build a culture of safety together.  Always remember: We are all Safety Leaders!
