TROY, Mich., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kelly + Motion Recruitment has been selected as both an IT Leader and Star Performer on Everest Group’s 2025 US Contingent Staffing PEAK Matrix® Assessment. As the technology workforce solutions division of Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), Kelly + Motion Recruitment has been recognized for its remarkable growth in market impact, vision and strategic investments. While Motion Recruitment was named a Star Performer previously and Kelly was positioned as a Major Contender in IT in prior years, Everest Group noted that following Kelly’s acquisition of Motion Recruitment Partners in 2024, the combined business has significantly grown its services and potential for growth across targeted industries. Together, Kelly + Motion Recruitment has demonstrated a strong vision to expand its coverage, has made impactful investments in IT managed services, and is committed to technological innovation focused on AI implementation. “It’s an honor to be recognized as both a Leader and a Star Performer in IT staffing.

They are positioned as Leaders, Major Contenders or Aspirants. Star Performers are identified based on year-over-year performance movement on the PEAK Matrix®. “Kelly’s strategic investments toward building expertise within IT staffing, consulting, and managed services have enabled its positioning as a Leader and Star Performer on Everest Group’s US IT Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025. Beyond organic investments, it also strengthened its existing capabilities - particularly within the public sector and telecommunication industries - through the acquisition of Motion Recruitment and its sister brands. This, combined with enhanced delivery capabilities and continued technology investments to build a well-rounded technology stack, markedly strengthened its overall offerings portfolio,” said Priyanka Mitra, Vice President, Everest Group. With this recognition Kelly became the first company to have been named a Leader and Star Performer on all four Everest Group US Contingent Staffing Peak Matrix® Assessments, including IT, engineering, business professional, and industrial talent and strategic solutions.
