Posted on by skatz

Company also recognized for Campaign of the Year

London – November 9, 2020 – PeopleScout won four Recruitment Marketing Awards (RMAs), including Agency of the Year and Campaign of the Year, at the virtual awards ceremony held on October 29, 2020. The RMAs recognize excellence in recruitment marketing and talent management.

“PeopleScout won this award as they worked with phenomenal creative output and overall met their customer’s needs,” said the RMA judges in regards to the Agency of the Year award.

“We are incredibly honored to be named Agency of the Year and to receive recognition for our work,” said Andrew Wilkinson, Executive Leader, Group Managing Director – EMEA and APAC. “As the pandemic continues to reshape the way we approach recruitment marketing and employer branding, the importance of effective and innovative candidate communications has never been greater.”

PeopleScout’s global reach and local expertise continues to make an impact on the talent acquisition and recruitment marketing industry. The company offers Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Managed Service Provider (MSP) services as well as talent acquisition solutions including assessment, early careers, candidate experience and employer branding. The combined power of its solutions enables the company to stand out from its peers with innovative design and a focus on delivery.

The award for Campaign of the Year was for PeopleScout’s work with its client, a motoring company in the UK. The goal of the campaign was to attract the attention of large numbers of potential passive candidates who might never have considered a career with the client.

“An excellent campaign that turned an employer brand into a live experience and was unlike no other,” said the RMA judges. “The live event received public interest and was a bold campaign with impressive results from applications across four targeted sections.”

This is the second consecutive year that PeopleScout won top award honors at the RMAs. In 2019, PeopleScout won the Grand Prix award for the company’s creative approach to recruiting nurses in Greater Manchester, as well as awards for employer branding, recruitment effectiveness and video. In 2020, PeopleScout also won four coveted Recruiting Advertising Design (RAD) awards, including Work of the Year as well as in the Innovation, Use of Social and Out of Home Advertising categories.

Posted on by skatz

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.”  

NelsonHall NEAT for RPO Chart 2020

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. 

Highlights from NelsonHall’s evaluation of PeopleScout on the 2020 NEAT vendor evaluation include the company’s:

  • Broad range of RPO, and more widespread, talent solutions, including those established for working in a COVID-19 world
  • Talent Advisory services, notably employer branding, assessment, recruitment marketing and the future of work consulting
  • Global footprint across North America, EMEA and APAC through the 2018 acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD and previous acquisitions
  • Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion, notably minimizing bias in assessments and selection methods plus its established Veteran Talent Exchange platform
  • Technology innovation, notably its comprehensive set of enhancements to its Affinix platform in 2019/2020
  • Repositioning as a Total Workforce Solutions organisation, establishing a unified approach to operational delivery and technology platforms

Posted on by skatz

CHICAGO – April 14, 2020 – PeopleScout has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2020 for the second consecutive year.

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.

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.
