Experis Named a Leader in IT Contingent Talent Solutions

In a significant recognition of its capabilities, Experis, part of the ManpowerGroup family, has been named a Leader in the Everest Group's 2026 U.S. IT Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment. This acknowledgment underscores the company's evolution from traditional IT staffing to a more expansive portfolio of AI-enhanced workforce and technology solutions.

The shift in enterprises’ approach to technology talent emphasizes the growing synergy between skilled professionals and AI applications. As organizations increasingly seek integrated solutions that leverage AI, Experis has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation. The Everest Group's assessment considers multiple factors such as market impact, strategic vision, and operational capabilities, and Experis excelled across essential areas like IT staffing, project solutions, and managed services.

A key component of this strategic transformation is Experis’ EXCELERATE AI framework, which effectively merges AI into its service offerings. This innovative framework fuses AI use-case discovery with specialized teams and proprietary tools. Notable tools include Sophie Code, designed to collaborate skilled technologists with AI to expedite software development, and Sophie Recruiter, which enhances recruitment processes through resume analysis, interview evaluations, recruiter coaching, and candidate scoring—all while ensuring human decisions remain pivotal in hiring practices.

Kye Mitchell, President of Experis U.S., remarked, “AI is not just reshaping the tools that technologists utilize; it’s redefining how businesses derive value from technology. Our clients require more than access to technical expertise; they need competent talent that can operate proficiently alongside AI for tangible business outcomes.” This statement highlights the essence of Experis' mission: to combine exceptional human talent with advanced technology in a manner that drives real progress.
