Apr 14, 2020

BROOKFIELD, WI – Cielo, the world’s leading strategic Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner, announced that it once again earned position as a Leader on Everest Group's Recruitment Process Outsourcing Services PEAK MatrixTM Assessment for 2020. This is the eighth consecutive year that Cielo has been named a Leader in RPO Services, placing in the top quadrant of providers in the talent acquisition industry.

“This recognition from Everest Group validates Cielo as a leader in our category and the meaningful customer experiences we cultivate,” said Sue Marks, Cielo Founder and CEO. “It reflects the innovative and flexible RPO solutions we provide, customized based on each client’s needs for today and their long-term goals for the future. All of this is made possible by our tech-enhanced, global operating model run by the best people in the business.”

Everest Group evaluated 25 RPO service providers to assess market impact and overall vision and capability and grouped them into three categories: Leaders, Major Contenders and Aspirants. Leaders, like Cielo, were placed in the top quadrant for both market impact and vision and capability. “Market Impact” is based on market adoption, portfolio mix and value delivered, while “Vision and Capability” includes vision and strategy, scope of services, innovation and investments and delivery footprint.

“Cielo's penchant for innovating and staying ahead of the curve in terms of next-generation technologies – like services-enabled technology solutions for high volume RPO and crowd sourcing, coupled with its strong suite of consulting services and growing global presence, have contributed to its successive positioning as a Leader on Everest Group's RPO PEAK Matrix® 2020,” according to Arkadev Basak, Vice President, Everest Group.

Leaders at Cielo believe RPO’s value to organizations will increase as CHROs navigate the uncertainty, recession and ultimate recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cielo’s RPO solutions are designed to provide effective talent acquisition in a technology-enhanced model with the flexibility to transform and respond to challenges. Whether organizations are looking to ramp up hiring to support growth or augment their in-house recruitment team, RPO can provide the flexibility needed for long-term success.

This latest recognition from Everest Group further reflects Cielo’s reputation for innovative and agile talent acquisition solutions that deliver results for clients. Additional recent achievements include ranking as the top healthcare RPO in HRO Today’s annual Baker’s Dozen list for the sixth consecutive year and being named Leader in NelsonHall’s NEAT vendor evaluation for RPO, in addition to several awards for delivering leading results to clients.
