Everest Group’s assessment of PeopleScout on this year’s PEAK Matrix highlighted the following key strengths:  

  • Referenced clients reported that responsiveness, access to resources, relationship and account management were strengths of PeopleScout.
  • PeopleScout’s proprietary talent acquisition technology Affinix was recognised for its host of features, including video interviews, candidate self-scheduling, talent community management, predictive and prescriptive analytics capabilities, and its talent mapping feature which uses AI sourcing to find candidates who are the best fit for particular job titles and roles.
  • PeopleScout’s recent acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD (TMP) strengthened its European (particularly UK) presence, and further expanded its product offerings and services portfolio, specifically that of value-added services, by strengthening its employer branding practice.
  • PeopleScout has been proactive in strengthening its presence in fast-growing industry verticals, such as retail and healthcare. The company has also developed capabilities to service clients in new industries such as government/public sector, media, and energy and utilities.
