Posted on by skatz

Chicago – April 3, 2019 – PeopleScout, a TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) company and leading global provider of talent solutions, has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2019. PeopleScout was also named one of five Star Performers based on year-over-year positive movement on the PEAK Matrix.

Arkadev “Arko” Basak, Vice President at Everest Group, noted, “PeopleScout’s continuous investments, both organic and inorganic, are testament to its forward-looking plan and vision. Investment in the end-to-end talent technology platform, Affinix, combining multiple digital elements, and the recent acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD (TMP) strengthening its European presence and expanding its services portfolio to include value-added services, are good examples. Investments such as these position PeopleScout well for the next level of growth.”

Everest Group classifies RPO service providers into three ascending categories of Aspirants, Major Contenders and the highest designation, Leaders. RPO providers are positioned against their peers on the PEAK Matrix. Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix framework assesses the market success and overall delivery capability of RPO service providers.

“As we continue to invest in our industry-leading talent technology, Affinix, and the expansion of our geographic capabilities and service offerings, we remain focused on our mission to find, engage and deliver the best talent for our clients,” said PeopleScout President Taryn Owen. “Being recognized for our partnership-oriented approach and being named a Leader and Star Performer by Everest Group is important validation of our strategy and ongoing commitment to meeting our clients’ unique talent needs now and in the future.”

Everest Group’s research is based on three key sources of proprietary information: their database of approximately 3,000 RPO deals, the operational capability of the 26 ranked 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.
