The players
KellyOCG
A global workforce solutions company, KellyOCG is part of Kelly Services and provides managed service provider and talent management programs for employers.
Everest Group
Everest Group is a global research and advisory firm known for its PEAK Matrix assessments of outsourcing and services providers.
The details
Everest Group assessed providers across seven categories: market adoption, portfolio mix, value delivered, scope of services, innovation and investments, delivery footprint, and vision and strategy. KellyOCG cited its integrated external workforce model, which covers contingent labor, services procurement, direct sourcing, independent contractor management, and human cloud, along with its Sevayo platform connecting vendor management, applicant tracking, procurement, and analytics systems.
Timeline
December 2025: End of the 12-month trailing deal activity period assessed.
Nov. 3, 2026: KellyOCG announced its Leader designation from Troy, Mich.
Market Landscape
KellyOCG's repeated Leader placements in Everest Group's PEAK Matrix for managed service provider programs extend a multi-year record in a field where providers compete on contingent workforce scope. The consecutive designations position the firm against other MSP providers assessed in the same 41-provider cohort.
For employers, the designation signals that the vendors on this list have been assessed for managed service and procurement capability, which may inform sourcing decisions for contingent labor programs. Job seekers in the United States are unlikely to see direct changes from the recognition itself.
The takeaway
Employers evaluating contingent workforce partners can use third-party assessments like the PEAK Matrix as one input alongside their own requirements. The rankings reflect deal activity through late 2025 and may not capture recent changes in provider capabilities.
