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.

Highlights from NelsonHall's evaluation of PeopleScout on the 2019 NEAT vendor 
evaluation include the company's:

   -- "Expertise in hospitality and transportation/travel, banking/financial
      services, retail, pharmaceuticals/healthcare, and professional services" 

   -- Growing global footprint through the 2018 acquisition of TMP Holdings
      LTD, as well as previous acquisitions across North America and APAC 

   -- "Capability in delivering high volume recruiting" 

   -- Strength in talent advisory services, notably employer branding,
      assessment and recruitment marketing 

   -- Established proprietary technology platforms and technology innovation.
      NelsonHall stated that "[PeopleScout is] continually developing its
      patented technology (whether new technology or enhancements to existing
      technology), including Affinix(TM) (

),
      and introducing new third-party tools and technology to enhance client
      programs (e.g., use of RPA, IA, NLP, etc.)." 

   -- "Ability to leverage TrueBlue's other brands and expertise to offer
      breadth and depth of services to its RPO clients (total talent clients)" 

   -- The evaluation also reports the strength of PeopleScout and
      TrueBlue's "repositioning as a total workforce solutions organization,
      establishing a unified approach to operational delivery and technology
      platforms."

PeopleScout continues to be a leader in RPO, MSP and Total Workforce Solutions.
