LevelUP Human Capital Solutions (LevelUP HCS) has been named a Major Contender in the 2025 Everest Group Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment—a significant endorsement of the company’s rising influence in the global talent solutions space.
The annual Everest Group report evaluates more than 35 RPO providers based on their market impact, innovation, and delivery capabilities. LevelUP’s inclusion marks a notable achievement for a firm that has staked its reputation on agility, client-centric service, and a deep commitment to tech-enabled recruitment.
“This recognition is a testament to the incredible work our teams do every day,” said Curtis Grajeda, Founder and CEO of LevelUP HCS. “We’ve built our approach on agility, trust, and excellence—and this validates the measurable impact of our solutions in today’s fast-changing talent market.”
What Sets LevelUP Apart?
While the RPO space has become increasingly crowded and commoditized, LevelUP HCS is carving out a niche by offering modular RPO services that adapt to an organization’s needs, whether that means full-cycle recruitment or targeted talent acquisition support.
The firm operates globally—with strong footholds in North America, the UK, LATAM, and South Africa—and brings a combination of industry-specific expertise, AI-powered recruiting tools, and a human-first philosophy that aims to improve not only hiring outcomes but also the candidate experience.
Their tech stack isn’t just for show—it underpins real-world agility and scale, giving clients a recruitment partner that can flex with business needs across geographies and verticals.
Why This Recognition Matters
For organizations seeking smarter, more scalable recruitment strategies, the Everest Group PEAK Matrix has become a trusted benchmark. It evaluates RPO providers on both capability and impact—so making the cut means more than just having flashy tech or a polished pitch deck.
The “Major Contender” badge puts LevelUP in the company of top-tier providers, signaling to enterprise clients that this isn’t a startup trying to punch above its weight—it’s a serious, mature player with proven global delivery capabilities.
As hiring needs continue to fluctuate and pressure mounts to improve both efficiency and candidate quality, companies are turning to RPO partners who can deliver faster results, cost savings, and brand-aligned talent experiences. LevelUP HCS appears to be doing just that.
The Bigger Picture: RPO in a Shifting Talent Landscape
This recognition also reflects larger market dynamics: recruitment is no longer a siloed HR function—it’s a business-critical lever. With talent shortages, AI disruption, and hybrid work models reshaping hiring across sectors, outsourcing recruitment is becoming a strategic necessity, not just a stopgap.
LevelUP’s model addresses these demands head-on, offering a blend of compliance support, workforce scalability, and candidate engagement that traditional agencies often fail to provide.
