Introduction

The landscape of the US$1.8 billion RPO market continues to be shaped by mergers and acquisitions. However, it still remains a fragmented space, with small and specialized service providers competing for market share with large-scale players. Moreover, the competition is further intensified by the continuous entry of new service providers. To succeed in the RPO market, service providers differentiate their offerings by specializing across geographies, buyer segments (industry, size, and job family), and alternate recruitment models. Service providers also provide strategic value-added services such as analytics, employer branding, talent community management, and assessment. Buyers need to understand the service provider’s value proposition in its entirety, while taking a holistic view of their own requirements, to create an effective and successful engagement.

In this research, we analyze the global RPO service provider landscape across the following dimensions:

  • Market overview and service provider landscape
  • 2014 RPO PEAK Matrix and Star Performers
  • Key insights into PEAK Matrix dimensions
  • Key areas of differentiation and specialization
