LHH, a global leader in integrated talent solutions and global business unit of the Adecco Group, has been named a Major Contender in Everest Group’s 2025 PEAK Matrix® for Global Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services, signaling its strong entrance and early success in the global RPO market.
RPO is a way for organizations to outsource all or part of their recruiting to a dedicated partner who can scale hiring quickly, improve candidate quality, and reduce costs.
With a team of over 400 RPO experts across five continents, LHH RPO combines local market insight—like cultural fit, regulatory nuance, and hiring expectations—with a global delivery infrastructure that ensures consistency and scale regionally or globally. This dual advantage helps clients attract the right talent, at the right time, wherever they operate.
As part of this year’s assessment, Everest Group commended LHH for the strength of its RPO offering, which centralizes the Adecco Group’s RPO business, including Pontoon RPO, under LHH, validating the successful unification of Pontoon’s global delivery infrastructure and LHH’s integrated AI-enabled, but human-first, talent strategy. With the addition of RPO, LHH now offers clients a comprehensive portfolio of flexible RPO solutions, including full RPO, modular RPO, and Recruiter on Demand.
“This recognition shows that LHH is bringing something different—and needed—to the RPO market,” said Serge Shine, Global Head of RPO at LHH. “We are building the most adaptive, tech-forward, and human-centered RPO solution in the market. We’re not just filling roles faster. We’re helping clients hire the right people, in the right way, with solutions that flex as their needs change by connecting recruitment with development, coaching, and employer brand to build strength and resilience for the future.”
LHH offers a suite of interconnected solutions that support clients and candidates across the entire professional talent journey, so organizations can work with a single strategic partner to address increasingly complex workforce challenges. As part of the LHH RPO offering, clients receive access to LHH’s broader portfolio, including HR and Talent Advisory, Coaching and Development and Recruitment Marketing.
