## How do you do RPO?

With only five minutes (and blissfully unaware of the bin), will Paul make it to the Wall of Fame? You’ll have to watch to find out.

RPO is at the heart of what NorthStar People does, and Paul knows exactly what it takes to do it well. He shares practical tips: start with the why, understand your customer, and build your MVP.
