"Everest Group named Talent Solutions RPO, part of the ManpowerGroup family of brands"

A service where a company outsources all or part of its hiring activities to an external specialist that manages sourcing, screening, interviewing and onboarding candidates. Think of it like hiring a catering company to handle every meal at an event so the host can focus on other tasks; for investors, it matters because it can lower and stabilize recruiting costs, speed workforce scaling, improve hiring quality, and shift hiring risk off the company’s balance sheet.

The recognition marks Talent Solutions RPO's 16th consecutive year as a Global Leader in Everest Group's PEAK Matrix assessment, validating its evolution beyond traditional RPO toward intelligence-led workforce solutions designed to meet clients' changing workforce needs.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hiring has become a symptom of a much larger workforce challenge. As AI accelerates change, skills shortages persist, and workforce needs evolve faster than organizations can adapt, business leaders are rethinking not only how they hire, but how they build, access, and deploy talent.

Reflecting that shift, Everest Group named Talent Solutions RPO, part of the ManpowerGroup family of brands, a Leader in its Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix^® Assessment 2026 – Global.

"Organizations don't just have a hiring problem; they have a workforce planning challenge, and increasingly it's the difference between whether a business can execute its strategy or not. As AI reshapes work and skills shortages continue across critical industries, leaders are looking beyond recruitment to understand where talent will come from, how work will get done, and how to stay ahead of constant change," said Caroline Pfeiffer Marinho, Global Business Leader, Talent Solutions RPO & Right Management. "That's where we come in. We help clients see how labor markets are actually moving so they can make better workforce decisions, integrate seamlessly with their organizations, and deliver the speed and quality today's business demands."
