RPO COMPANIES
The Assessment Partner Built for RPO Delivery
Flexible, fast to implement, and genuinely easy to work with. Clevry helps RPO organisations handle high-volume hiring with speed, quality, and defensibility.
Trusted by organisations hiring at scale
What RPO organisations need from an assessment partner
Running high-volume recruitment on behalf of enterprise clients is complex. You are managing thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of candidates, meeting demanding SLAs, satisfying procurement requirements, and carrying the responsibility for every hiring decision made under your name.
The assessment tools you choose matter — not just for candidate quality, but for your own reputation with clients.
Most assessment providers in the market are either too rigid to fit your delivery model, too slow to implement, or too inflexible on pricing to embed cleanly into your commercial offering. The larger platforms can take months to configure and are built around their own frameworks, not yours.
Clevry is different. We are built to work the way RPO organisations actually work.
Why RPO organisations work with Clevry
We're not the biggest name in the assessment market. But the RPO organisations that work with us tell us consistently that we offer something the larger providers rarely do: genuine flexibility, fast implementation, and a team that shows up and helps you win.
Handle volume with speed and accuracy
Early careers cohorts, public sector programmes, graduate intake, volume resourcing — Clevry's platform processes thousands of candidates objectively and at pace, with applicant tracking built in to reduce admin on your delivery teams.
Protect your clients — and yourself
Grounded in more than 30 years of psychometric science, Clevry's assessments are objective, validated, and give you a clear evidence base for every decision — defensible to clients, regulators and, where needed, tribunals. Fully capable of supporting UK government procurement requirements.
Fit your commercial model, not ours
Most vendors sell on a model that doesn't map cleanly onto RPO contracts. Clevry's pricing is flexible by design — per-candidate, per-programme, or whatever structure fits how you're set up — so it's straightforward to build into your offering without eroding margin.
Implement quickly
Enterprise procurement timelines are long enough. Once a programme's approved, Clevry is quick to configure around your specific requirements — partners consistently tell us speed of implementation is one of the clearest differences versus larger providers.
Signal best-in-class technology to your clients
The tools an RPO organisation uses reflect its quality and expertise. Choosing a modern, scientifically rigorous, genuinely flexible platform is a statement to your clients — Clevry helps you position assessment as a differentiator, not a commodity.
A partner that helps you win business
Beyond delivery, we actively support RPO partners in winning new business — joining client meetings, supporting RFP and tender responses, and helping design the solution. We have extensive experience with UK government tenders and can support your bid team directly.
What makes Clevry different from other assessment providers
RPO organisations have worked with a range of assessment vendors. Here's what distinguishes Clevry in practice.
Unrivalled customisability
Configure assessments to measure exactly what a programme requires — aligned to a client's competency framework, values, role requirements, or sector context.
Science-first, practically applied
Built on more than 30 years of psychometric research. For diverse candidate populations — public sector, early careers, skills creation — that rigour matters for equity, compliance and outcomes.
Applicant tracking built in
Candidate progress, results and communications handled in one place — fewer systems for delivery teams to manage during high-volume programmes, less admin, better candidate experience.
A modern candidate experience
Mobile-friendly and built for real-world completion — including in high-volume, time-pressured environments — protecting completion rates, employer brand and programme quality.
A team that operates like a partner
We join client meetings when it adds value, help with tenders, move at pace, and develop custom functionality when needed. If you have a live opportunity, you can reach us directly.
How RPO organisations use Clevry
Clevry is used by RPO partners across a range of programme types and client contexts.
Early careers and graduate hiring
The most common entry point. High-volume candidate populations, tight timelines, and the need for objective, consistent, fair assessment at scale. Clevry's platform handles the full candidate journey — from initial sifting through to ranked shortlists — with full audit trail and reporting.
Public sector resourcing
Public sector clients have specific requirements around assessment rigour, equity, data governance, and procurement compliance. Clevry has direct experience supporting UK government and public sector resourcing programmes, and understands what's required to operate within those frameworks.
Skills creation programmes
Where RPO organisations run skills creation or training-into-employment programmes, Clevry's assessments help identify candidate potential, learning aptitude and role suitability — shifting the focus from prior experience to future capability.
Direct assessment services
RPO organisations providing standalone assessment services — rather than full end-to-end recruitment — use Clevry to deliver structured, validated assessment programmes with clear reporting for hiring managers and HR teams.
Restructuring and redeployment
Some RPO partners use Clevry in workforce restructuring contexts — using assessment data to support redeployment decisions, identify transferable capability, and provide a fair and defensible basis for difficult organisational decisions.
How the partnership works
RPO partnerships with Clevry operate exclusively on a Managed Services basis. You embed Clevry into your client delivery as part of your RPO offering, purchase assessments at volume pricing, and manage the platform on behalf of your clients. There's no complex commercial arrangement to set up — you use the tool, deliver the programme, and charge your client as part of your overall service.
Volume pricing
Clevry's volume pricing model is designed for RPO delivery. As your usage scales across programmes and clients, pricing scales with it — keeping the commercial model clean and manageable.
Flexible value metrics
We align our pricing to whatever metric makes most sense for how your programmes are structured and how you charge your clients — removing friction from embedding Clevry into your offering from day one.
Support that helps you win and deliver
How we support our RPO partners
- Sales and solution design materials
- RFP and tender reference documentation
- Pricing tools and calculators
- Product information, sample reports and one-pagers
- Technical and integration documentation
- Clevry brand assets
Government-Ready. Enterprise-Tested.
For RPO organisations operating in the UK public sector, working with an assessment provider that understands government procurement requirements is not optional — it is a baseline expectation.
Clevry has direct experience supporting UK government and public sector resourcing programmes. We understand the data governance, compliance, and audit requirements that come with these contracts, and we can provide the technical and commercial documentation your procurement teams need.
This includes support for tender responses, security documentation, and evidence of assessment validity and fairness — the things that matter when a public sector client is evaluating your bid.
We are also experienced in operating within enterprise procurement frameworks more broadly — complex buying processes, multi-stakeholder approval, legal and compliance review, and implementation within large, regulated organisations.
If you are evaluating Clevry as part of a tender or formal procurement process, our team can support that process directly.
Scientific rigour, security & compliance
Who makes a strong RPO partner?
We're actively looking to grow our RPO partner network — particularly outside the UK, where we currently have limited coverage. The RPO organisations that work best with Clevry tend to share a few characteristics:
- ✓They operate at volume. The clearest value Clevry delivers is in high-volume hiring — early careers, public sector, volume resourcing. If these are a significant part of your delivery, the partnership generates meaningful value quickly.
- ✓They have enterprise or public sector clients. Larger client programmes create more opportunity for Clevry to be embedded meaningfully, where the platform's rigour is most valued.
- ✓They have an internal assessment lead or champion. The strongest partnerships have a central point of contact — typically a Head of Assessment or similar — who can own the relationship and identify opportunities. Two strong contacts is even better.
- ✓They want a genuine vendor partnership, not just a platform. If you want a vendor that shows up, supports your bids, moves quickly and works with you on solutions — rather than an arm's-length account management relationship — Clevry is a strong fit.
- ✓Geography. We currently have RPO partners primarily in the UK, and are actively looking for partners in Central Europe, the Nordics, APAC, the Middle East and North America.
A note on how we work with multiple partners
Our approach to the market
Our RPO partnerships are non-exclusive, and we're transparent about that. We recognise that in concentrated markets — particularly the UK — RPO organisations may occasionally find themselves competing for the same tender. We take that sensitivity seriously: we engage with integrity, maintain appropriate confidentiality around commercial opportunities, and don't allow our relationships with other partners to compromise the support we give you.
The quality of a partnership with Clevry is determined by the relationship, not by exclusivity. Our strongest partnerships are built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to delivering excellent outcomes for clients.
Frequently asked questions
How do RPO organisations use Clevry commercially?
Always as a Managed Service. You embed Clevry into your client delivery, purchase assessments at volume pricing, and manage the platform on behalf of your clients. There's no client-side licence to manage.
Is Clevry suitable for UK government and public sector programmes?
Yes. We have direct experience supporting UK government and public sector resourcing programmes and can provide the compliance, data governance, and audit documentation these contracts require.
How quickly can Clevry be implemented for a new programme?
Fast. Our implementation process is lean and our configuration is flexible. We've set up programmes in a matter of days when timelines required it — actual timelines depend on programme complexity, but speed is a consistent strength.
Can Clevry's pricing model be aligned to how we structure our client contracts?
Yes. We're flexible on pricing structure and work with RPO partners to align our value metric to theirs — one of the most important practical differences versus larger, more rigid providers.
Can Clevry be customised for specific client requirements?
Yes — and this is one of our core differentiators. Assessments can be configured around a client's competency framework, values, role profile, sector context and programme requirements. Where standard configuration isn't sufficient, we develop custom solutions.
Does Clevry integrate with ATS platforms?
Clevry has ATS integrations and includes applicant tracking functionality within the platform itself. Our team can advise on the best approach depending on your existing technology stack and programme requirements.
Do you work with RPO organisations outside the UK?
Currently our RPO partner base is primarily UK-based, but we're actively looking to expand into other regions. If you operate in Central Europe, the Nordics, APAC, the Middle East, or North America, we'd welcome a conversation.
What support do RPO partners receive?
Dedicated partnership management, tender and RFP support, joint client engagement, fast programme configuration, custom development where needed, access to the Partnership Hub, and the Clevry Knowledge Base.
How does Clevry handle situations where two RPO partners are competing for the same contract?
We take this seriously and manage it with care and confidentiality — see "Our approach to the market" above for how we handle it.
What makes Clevry different from SHL, Talent Q, or other established assessment providers?
The combination of scientific rigour, genuine customisability, pricing flexibility, speed of implementation, and the quality of the working relationship. Larger providers offer brand recognition and broad test libraries, but frequently come with rigid frameworks, slow implementation, and account management relationships rather than genuine partnership. Clevry offers enterprise-grade quality with the agility and collaboration larger providers rarely match.
