Adecco named a leader in Everest Group’s UK Contingent Talent Assessment 2025
We’re thrilled to share that Adecco has been named a Leader in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025 for both IT and Business & Professional contingent talent and strategic solutions in the UK. Even more exciting — we’ve earned Star Performer status in IT, recognising the progress we’ve made in helping organisations find and develop the right talent, faster and smarter.
Why this matters
The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® is one of the most respected benchmarks in our industry. It’s not about size or scale — it’s about how well you deliver value, innovate, and make a measurable difference to your clients. Being recognised as a Leader reflects what we’re most proud of: our ability to connect people with purpose, use technology intelligently, and redefine how work gets done.
What sets Adecco apart?
1. Talent Solutions that Work
At Adecco, we understand that success starts with the right people but finding them requires more than just reach. It takes insight, agility, and the ability to turn market complexity into opportunity.
Our teams bring deep knowledge of UK labour markets and specialist sectors, from technology and digital transformation to finance, HR, and operations. We move quickly to identify the talent you need, supported by powerful data and analytics that help us pinpoint where skills sit, what they cost, and how to attract them.
It’s a people-first approach built on expertise and experience delivering quality at speed, across every engagement. Whether you’re scaling fast, tackling hard-to-fill roles, or building contingent teams, our focus is simple: talent solutions that work.
2. From Staffing to Strategy
Contingent workforce management is evolving fast. That’s why our Managed Services go beyond placements to deliver measurable workforce outcomes. Whether through structured Statements of Work (SOWs), outsourcing models, or fully managed programmes, we help clients gain visibility, control, and flexibility all while driving performance and cost efficiency.
3. Spearheading AI Innovation
We’re not just embracing AI — we’re redefining what’s possible through it. Earlier this year, The Adecco Group completed the first agentic AI implementation at scale, built on Salesforce’s Agentforce platform — a major step forward in combining human expertise with intelligent technology.
This forms part of our commitment to Adecco AI – Empowering human potential intelligently.
Our AI-powered approach is already transforming how we recruit, match, and manage talent — improving speed, accuracy, and the candidate experience. Recruiters spend less time on admin and more time connecting with people, while clients gain predictive insights and 24/7 engagement that keeps processes moving.
Across the UK, we’re applying these innovations to help clients:
- Identify and match skills faster through predictive analytics
- Forecast workforce needs using real-time data and insights
- Unlock high performance and quality through automation and augmented decision-making
AI doesn’t replace people — it amplifies them. At Adecco, we’re ensuring technology enhances human capability, empowering our clients and candidates to work smarter, faster, and with more impact.
Why clients choose leaders
According to Everest Group, the most successful providers share a few common traits:
- End-to-end coverage across IT and business talent, including digital and AI roles
- Mature managed services that integrate analytics, compliance, and innovation
- Significant investment in proprietary technology platforms
- Commitment to DE&I and structured governance models
That’s exactly what defines Adecco and what we’ll continue to build on.
Shaping the Future of Work
The UK labour market is evolving fast. Skills are shifting, expectations are changing, and technology is reshaping how we work. Organisations need partners who can move quickly, think strategically, and deliver talent solutions that adapt with change.
That’s where we come in. Our recognition as a Leader and Star Performer reflects more than market performance it’s proof of our commitment to innovation, partnership, and people-first progress.
