World’s largest RPO provider named a global leader for the third consecutive year
Chicago – October 27, 2020 – PeopleScout has been named a Leader, the highest rating, in every category in NelsonHall’s global 2020 NEAT Vendor Evaluation for RPO. The categories in which PeopleScout was recognized as a Leader are: Geographic Footprint and Scalability, TA Transformation, Innovation in Services, Candidate Experience, as well as an Overall rating.
Nikki Edwards, Principal Analyst, HR Technology & Services, NelsonHall, said: “PeopleScout has expanded and enhanced its portfolio of RPO models and services to embrace the challenges of hiring talent in 2020 and beyond. Further, it has upgraded its multifunctional Affinix platform, leveraging many of the latest technology/tools available in the marketplace to enable its clients achieve a competitive edge.”
NEAT is NelsonHall’s vendor evaluation and assessment tool, offering companies around the world a comprehensive assessment of vendors’ offerings and capabilities. The NEAT for RPO enables buyers to strategically evaluate vendors across a range of criteria and business situations with a specific focus on candidate experience, innovation and global delivery.
“It is an incredible honor to be named a Leader in all categories in NelsonHall’s 2020 NEAT vendor evaluation for RPO,” said PeopleScout President Brannon Lacey. “When COVID-19 emerged, PeopleScout was quick to pivot and enhance our solution offerings in a way that met the changing needs of our clients and kept people safe without sacrificing an exceptional candidate experience. As we look to the future, we will continue to focus on supporting our clients’ talent programs with the right balance of human-touch and superior talent technology throughout the entire hiring process.”
Positioning as a “Leader” on the NEAT vendor evaluation is based on a combination of analyst assessments and feedback from RPO vendor clients. Interviews with RPO vendor clients focus on measuring the vendor’s ability to deliver immediate benefit as well as evaluating the vendor’s suitability to meet future requirements.
