KellyOCG + Sevenstep’s leadership position among RPO providers reflects the company’s global footprint – now expanded to 71 countries with 33 in-country teams – and its end-to-end talent acquisition capabilities, encompassing enterprise and project RPO, sourcing for niche roles, executive search, consulting, advanced data and predictive analytics technology, and total talent management. These capabilities are delivered through end-to-end and modular solutions shaped to align and evolve with each client’s needs and challenges.
