ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions Achieves RPO Leader Status in North America by Everest Group

ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions Recognized as North America RPO Leader

On October 9, 2025, Talent Solutions, part of the ManpowerGroup family, received prestigious recognition as a Leader in the Everest Group's 2025 Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment. This accolade positions the company among an elite group of providers worldwide, achieving the coveted triple-Leader status across multiple regions, including North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific.

Addressing Talent Shortages with Innovative Solutions

This honor comes at a critical time, as many employers—74% of them globally—report challenges in filling open positions. Traditional hiring methods have become inadequate, prompting businesses to shift towards proactive and technology-driven workforce strategies. Marceline Beijer, Global Business Leader for RPO at Talent Solutions, emphasized, "Filling roles by simply posting jobs and waiting for applicants no longer works in today's competitive labor market."

The company's strategy, described as a total talent approach, combines consulting, recruitment marketing, and an AI-powered ecosystem that not only enhances productivity but also offers actionable insights. Talent Solutions helped its clients make over 92,000 hires in North America during 2024, significantly reducing the average time-to-fill by as much as 40%.

Key Initiatives Driving Success

Talent Solutions is not just focused on reactive hiring; it is implementing forward-thinking talent strategies through several key initiatives:

- Ignite Recruitment Marketing: This initiative enhances employer branding and builds talent pipelines via carefully crafted campaigns and community engagement activities.

- Reskilling Programs: Initiatives like the Green Academies are designed to create pathways into high-demand roles, directly addressing talent shortages within various industries.

The Power of AI in Recruitment

One of the standout features noted by the Everest Group is Talent Solutions' AI-driven PowerSuite™ ecosystem. This platform integrates proprietary and third-party technologies, streamlining the recruitment process at every stage. As a result, employers can respond more swiftly and intelligently to labor market conditions while improving the candidate experience.
