1 Everest Group PEAK Matrix for RPO Service Providers Focus on Futurestep July 2012

2 Introduction and scope Everest Group recently released its 2012 Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Service Provider Landscape and Capability Assessment report. This report analyzes the changing dynamics of the RPO landscape and assesses service providers across several key dimensions. As a part of this report, Everest Group updated its classification of 20+ service providers on the Everest Group Performance Experience Ability Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix for RPO into Leaders, Major Contenders, and Emerging Players. The PEAK Matrix is a framework that provides an objective, data-driven, and comparative assessment of RPO service providers based on their absolute market success and delivery capability. Everest Group also identified six service providers as the 2012 RPO Market Star Performers based on the strongest forward movement demonstrated on the PEAK Matrix year-on-year. Buyers can use the PEAK Matrix to identify and evaluate different service providers. It helps them understand the service providers relative strengths and gaps. However, it is also important to note that while the PEAK Matrix is a useful starting point, the results from the assessment may not be directly prescriptive for each buyer. Buyers will have to consider their unique situation and requirements, and match them against service provider capability for an ideal fit. This document focuses on Futurestep s RPO experience and capabilities, and includes: Futurestep s year-on-year movement on the RPO PEAK Matrix Everest Group s assessment of Futurestep s delivery capability and market success Detailed RPO profile of Futurestep 2

Organizations looking for a tailored approach, especially involving exempt hires, will find the offering more appealing Although with wide coverage and good capabilities across multiple regions (especially EMEA and Asia Pacific), it needs to further improve scale in the Americas Limited capability to handle temporary hiring requirements in the overall RPO construct is one of the key gaps in its offerings 1 Based on contractual and operational information as of September 2011 Source: Everest Group (2012) 6

14 FAQs (page 1 of 2) Does the PEAK Matrix assessment incorporate any subjective criteria? Everest Group s PEAK Matrix assessment adopts an objective and fact-based approach (leveraging service provider RFIs and Everest Group s proprietary databases containing providers deals and operational capability information). In addition, these results are validated / fine-tuned based on our market experience, buyer interaction, and provider briefings Is being a Major Contender or Emerging Player on the PEAK Matrix, an unfavorable outcome? No. PEAK Matrix highlights and positions only the best-in-class service providers in a particular functional/vertical services area. There are a number of providers from the broader universe that are assessed and do not make it to the PEAK Matrix at all. Therefore, being represented on the PEAK Matrix is itself a favorable recognition What other aspects of PEAK Matrix assessment are relevant to buyers and providers besides the PEAK Matrix position? PEAK Matrix position is only one aspect of Everest Group s overall assessment. In addition to assigning a Leader, Major Contender or Emerging Player title, Everest Group highlights the distinctive capabilities and unique attributes of all the PEAK Matrix providers assessed in its report. The detailed metric level assessment and associated commentary is helpful for buyers in selecting particular providers for their specific requirements. It also helps providers showcase their strengths in specific areas What are the incentives for buyers and providers to participate/provide input to PEAK Matrix research? Participation incentives for buyers include a summary of key findings from the PEAK Matrix assessment Participation incentives for providers include adequate representation and recognition of their capabilities/success in the market place, and a copy of their own profile that is published by Everest Group as part of the compendium of PEAK Matrix providers profiles 14

15 FAQs (page 2 of 2) What is the process for a service provider to leverage their PEAK Matrix positioning, or Star Performer status? Providers can use their PEAK positioning or Star Performer rating in multiple ways including: Issue a press release declaring their positioning/rating Customized PEAK profile for circulation (with clients, prospects, etc.) Quotes from Everest Group analysts could be disseminated to the media Leverage PEAK branding across communications ( signatures, marketing brochures, credential packs, client presentations, etc.) The provider must obtain the requisite licensing and distribution rights for the above activities through an agreement with the designated POC at Everest Group 15
