CHICAGO – July 6, 2020 – PeopleScout has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s inaugural Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix^® Assessment 2020 for North America.

Everest Group’s assessment of PeopleScout on this year’s PEAK Matrix highlighted the following strengths:  

• PeopleScout is the largest RPO provider by number of hires managed in North America.
• Leaders, including PeopleScout, have performed better than peers in areas such as consulting and value-added services, Total Talent Acquisition (TTA) and development of technology-driven offerings such as high-volume and low-cost solutions.
• Referenced clients reported that responsiveness, access to resources, technology and reporting were key strengths of PeopleScout.
• PeopleScout’s proprietary talent acquisition technology Affinix™ was recognized for its host of features, including video interviews, candidate self-scheduling, talent community management, predictive and prescriptive analytics capabilities, and its talent mapping feature which uses AI sourcing to find candidates who are the best fit for particular job titles and roles.
