PeopleScout, a TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) company and the world's largest RPO provider, was identified by NelsonHall as a Leader in every category in the 2019 NEAT vendor evaluation for RPO: Candidate Experience, Geographic Footprint & Scalability, Services Innovation, Sourcing Candidates and Technology Innovation.
Nikki Edwards, Principal HR Research Analyst at NelsonHall, said: "PeopleScout's proactive approach to bringing to the fore best practices in talent acquisition services and technology, ensuring the candidate is central to every initiative deployed, is acknowledged by NelsonHall and PeopleScout's clients alike."
NEAT is NelsonHall's vendor evaluation and assessment tool, a method by which buyers can strategically evaluate vendors across a range of criteria and business situations and identify the best performing vendors overall. The NEAT for RPO has a specific focus on candidate experience, innovation and global/multi-country delivery.
"We are honored to have been recognized by NelsonHall as a Leader in every category in the 2019 NEAT vendor evaluation for RPO," said PeopleScout President Taryn Owen. "We are particularly proud to be a Leader in both the Candidate Experience and Technology Innovation categories because at PeopleScout we are striving to use technology to create a more human candidate experience by ensuring that every touchpoint brings our client's employer brand to life and inspires candidates to join their organization."
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 both immediate benefit as well as to meet future requirements.
