“PeopleScout’s expertise across a diverse range of industries and clients, strong focus on technology and analytics in RPO solutions through its Affinix™ platform, and dedicated investments to strengthen its consulting capabilities and geographic presence outside North America, especially Europe, have helped it become one of the largest RPO service providers globally and a Leader on Everest Group’s RPO PEAK Matrix® 2020,” said Arkadev Basak, Vice President, Everest Group.

Everest Group classifies RPO service providers into three ascending categories of Aspirants, Major Contenders and the highest designation, Leaders. Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® framework assesses the market impact and overall delivery capability of RPO service providers.

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

  • Referenced clients reported that responsiveness, access to resources, relationship and account management were 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.
  • PeopleScout’s recent acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD (TMP) strengthened its European (particularly UK) presence, and further expanded its product offerings and services portfolio, specifically that of value-added services, by strengthening its employer branding practice.
  • PeopleScout has been proactive in strengthening its presence in fast-growing industry verticals, such as retail and healthcare. The company has also developed capabilities to service clients in new industries such as government/public sector, media, and energy and utilities.

Everest Group’s research is based on three key sources of proprietary information: its database of approximately 3,000 RPO deals, the operational capability of the 25 assessed RPO service providers and ongoing buyer surveys and interactions. To be named a Leader, RPO providers must have the highest maturity levels in market impact, vision and capability.

COVID-19 Series: Keeping Candidates and Employees Safe with a Virtual Hiring Solution

Posted on by nfuqua

As organizations around the globe confront the challenges presented by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, even the most seasoned talent leaders find themselves in uncharted territory. We’re creating a miniseries with our experts here at PeopleScout about the issues that are most pressing during this uncertain time.

We are focused on the safety of our employees and clients, friends, families and loved ones. However, it is important for many organizations to keep their talent acquisition functions moving – whether to provide essential services or to serve our communities by providing jobs. Many organizations are also now adapting to a newly virtual workforce.

In that spirit, in this podcast, we share insights from PeopleScout Global Leader of Affinix Client Success and Strategy Allison Brigden on transitioning to a virtual talent acquisition solution.

Allison has been with PeopleScout since 1995 and has served in roles related to implementing and managing complex RPO programs as well as operations and technology. In her current role, Allison focuses on leveraging technology to elevate the talent strategy and client success through Affinix, PeopleScout’s proprietary talent technology platform. Allison leads an Affinix Client Success Team and our strategic technology partnerships. The Affinix Client Success Team is focused on understanding our clients’ objectives with Affinix and creating positive outcomes. She also possesses a deep commitment to corporate social responsibility, with an emphasis on military veteran advocacy. Allison holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah.

At PeopleScout, we’re all dealing with the same changes—working from home and recording these podcasts from a distance, so things may sound a bit different than you’re used to hearing.

It featured six brave AA employees following Ant Middleton, former Special Boat Service soldier, through a series of challenges while the public participated across social media. The challenge reached millions of potential candidates and engaged thousands of AA employees and resulted in a significant increase in applications.  

“Every year we celebrate the best in our industry,” said Mark Horley, Chair of the Judges, at the awards. “Something great happened in 2019 because this year we’ve seen a huge leap in quality and innovation. The standard of thinking and ideas is incredible.”

“Winning the top prize for Work of the Year is fantastic news” said Robert Peasnell, Deputy Managing Director of PeopleScout. “The RAD awards recognise the best-of-the best; having the recruiting industry celebrate our work in this way is extremely exciting. The AA campaign allowed us to showcase our exceptional creative skills of which we are incredibly proud. As the only RPO with a full-service, in-house, creative communications agency, this recognition demonstrates that it’s possible to recruit in large numbers by offering innovative solutions to our clients’ attraction challenges.”

PeopleScout Ranked as Total Workforce Solutions Leader in HRO Today’s 2018 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings

Posted on by epadmin

Chicago – Dec. 19, 2018 – PeopleScout, a TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) company and leading global provider of talent solutions, was recognized as a “total workforce solutions” leader and the No. 2 overall provider in HRO Today’s 2018 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings.


This is the first time HRO Today has evaluated total workforce solutions (TWS) providers, and the rankings come as PeopleScout is seeing increased interest in TWS from employers looking for a more holistic approach to managing their talent needs.


“Organizations that are interested in implementing a total workforce solution should put PeopleScout at the top of their consideration list,” said Elliot Clark, CEO and chairman of SharedXpertise and HRO Today. “With so few organizations truly ready for what’s next, PeopleScout stands out as an innovative provider that is ready to meet clients wherever they are on their journey to total workforce solutions. PeopleScout is well-positioned to provide access to the best talent, regardless of worker type.”


Total workforce combines recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and managed service provider (MSP) services. Rather than separating talent acquisition into permanent hires, contingent workers and project fulfillment, companies are increasingly interested in taking a comprehensive view of all the talent in their community enterprise-wide, regardless of worker type.


“We are honored to have PeopleScout recognized in HRO Today’s inaugural Total Workforce Solutions Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings,” said Taryn Owen, president of PeopleScout. “While each company is at a different stage in their progress toward total workforce management, we are excited to work with our clients at whatever point they are today.”


Earlier this year, PeopleScout was recognized as an enterprise RPO Leader on HRO Today’s 2018 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings. PeopleScout was also ranked the No. 1 RPO provider in the “size of deal” category and a “healthcare RPO leader” in this year’s survey. Additionally, PeopleScout was named the No. 1 MSP on HRO Today’s Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings for the second consecutive year, and PeopleScout’s proprietary talent technology platform, Affinix, won the 2018 HRO Today TekTonic Award in the “candidate experience” category.


“PeopleScout is focused on what’s next to meet changing talent needs,” Owen added. “We are continually enhancing our Affinix technology, expanding our talent advisory capabilities – such as our June 2018 acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD – and we’ve aligned our RPO, MSP and talent advisory offerings to best serve our clients now and in the future.”

Posted on by epadmin

Industry analyst Everest Group issued a favorable briefing on the implications of PeopleScout’s strategic acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD.


PeopleScout’s TMP acquisition achieved two primary objectives. First, it expanded PeopleScout’s global RPO capabilities and EMEA client base, team and operations.

Everest Group reports that:


“With the 2016 acquisition of Aon Hewitt’s RPO business, PeopleScout emerged as the largest RPO provider globally (based on the volume of hires managed as part of the RPO portfolio. The current acquisition will help PeopleScout in two significant ways:

  • It will bolster PeopleScout’s presence in the UK and the broader EMEA region, a region where PeopleScout currently lacks significant presence.
  • It will further expand PeopleScout’s product offerings/services portfolio, particularly that of value-added services, by strengthening its employer branding practice.

By and large, this acquisition is set to offer the momentum PeopleScout needs to emerge as a strong global player with a large footprint and considerable capabilities across geographies.”
