Everest Group recognizes Randstad Sourceright’s industry-leading contingent workforce capabilities.
Randstad Sourceright has been named a Leader in both the Contingent Workforce Management (CWM)/Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Services Procurement/Statement of Work (SOW) PEAK Matrix® Assessments by Everest Group for 2026. This recognition marks 13 consecutive years as an MSP Leader and 4 consecutive years as an SOW Leader. The designations reflect Randstad Sourceright’s ability to deliver high-quality, flexible talent strategies, advanced proprietary workforce technology and AI-enabled sourcing solutions to global enterprises.
why is workforce agility critical for modern enterprises?
To be successful in today’s complex landscape, workforce agility has become a strategic imperative for employers. As workforce needs can fluctuate rapidly and economic uncertainty remains pervasive, the ability to quickly access high-quality and flexible talent to augment the capabilities of internal teams and fill critical skills gaps is a key differentiator. And with competition for specialized talent higher than ever — especially for those with crucial AI skills — companies are increasingly looking for alternate paths to find the people they need.
But rather than figuring it out themselves, Randstad Sourceright, part of Randstad Enterprise, works closely with businesses around the world to create effective contingent workforce management strategies to find talent with the skills they need for the project at hand and transform how work gets done.
Everest Group, a leading research firm that helps business leaders make confident decisions, has recognized the strengths of our contingent workforce solutions in its annual PEAK Matrix® Assessments, which evaluates providers based on their market impact as well as vision and capability.
For 2026, Randstad Sourceright has been named a Leader in the Contingent Workforce Management (CWM)/Managed Service Provider (MSP) PEAK Matrix® Assessment, marking the 13th consecutive year we have earned this distinction. Randstad Sourceright was also named a Leader in the Services Procurement/Statement of Work (SOW) PEAK Matrix® Assessment for the fourth year in a row.
what makes Randstad Sourceright a leader in CWM and MSP solutions?
Randstad Sourceright earns its CWM and MSP Leader designation through enterprise-scale delivery, deep sector expertise and cutting-edge generative AI capabilities across the talent acquisition spectrum.
As more companies turn to CWM and MSP solutions to achieve workforce agility, Randstad Sourceright delivers advanced, industry-leading solutions to attract and engage top contingent talent around the globe. Clients also gain full visibility across their contingent, freelance and service spend, all while reducing risk and staying ahead of compliance demands.
This commitment to developing and delivering transformational CWM and MSP capabilities has earned us the Leader designation in Everest Group’s CWM/MSP PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026, highlighting our vision, execution capabilities and success in helping clients achieve their workforce needs. The assessment highlights several strengths, including:

“Randstad Sourceright has advanced its CWM/MSP solution through investments in AI-enabled sourcing and screening, conversational market and talent intelligence, and intelligent work triage,” said Lokesh Goyal, vice president at Everest Group. “These efforts reflect its broader move toward a skills-first workforce model while enhancing talent recommendations and redeployment. Together, they have contributed to Randstad Sourceright’s positioning as a Leader on Everest Group’s CWM/MSP PEAK Matrix® 2026.”
how do Randstad Sourceright’s SOW solutions drive ROI?
Randstad Sourceright’s SOW solutions maximize return on investment by shifting focus from input costs to quantifiable business outcomes across the entire services procurement life cycle.
When businesses leverage third-party service providers through services procurement or statement of work (SOW) arrangements to fill key gaps, the focus is often on the cost of their inputs. However, Randstad Sourceright’s services procurement solutions help clients understand the ROI of their outcomes. Our solutions boost performance across the SOW life cycle with a modular and customizable approach that delivers value where it’s needed most.
The Leader designation recognizes our end-to-end capabilities in sourcing, contracting, milestone tracking, supplier governance and meeting client demand for outcome-based work models.
In addition to the strengths recognized in the CWM/MSP assessment, the SOW assessment also highlights:
-
The SP360 Framework: a specialized structural methodology for managing complex services procurement
-
Dedicated procurement specialists: direct access to domain experts in category management and contract negotiation
-
Agile operational delivery: global domain expertise supported by a centralized SOW Center of Excellence
-
Outcome-based work tracking: intelligent tools designed to monitor milestone completion, supplier compliance and deliverable quality
-
“Randstad Sourceright has strengthened its services procurement offerings through its SP360 framework, bringing together category and contracting expertise with capabilities spanning the SOW lifecycle,” says Goyal. “Its ongoing investments in SOW technology, analytics, and AI-enabled procurement, supported by its SOW center of excellence, have contributed to its positioning as a Leader on Everest Group’s Services Procurement / SOW PEAK Matrix® 2026.”
