Pinstripe Announces Record Investments and Client Growth

BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinstripe, Inc., the nation's leading pure-play recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider, today announced continued record client growth for the first quarter of 2012.  Further validating Pinstripe's industry leadership, Everest Group has declared Pinstripe a 2012 RPO Star Performer in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix, published in the April 2012 Recruitment Process Outsourcing  – Service Provider Landscape and Capability Assessment report.

Pinstripe CEO Sue Marks attributes the organization's continued success to calculated, strategic investments in talent, technology, and infrastructure.  "Just as we do with our clients, we've hard-wired scalability into our strategic plans.  Our experience, coupled with our constant eye on the future, helps us to determine when to invest and in whom to invest to support our greater than market growth."

Everest Group Methodology

Based on its evaluation framework PEAK Matrix, Everest Group selects Star Performers based on year-on-year improvement in market success and delivery capability.  Only those organizations that are top quartile performers on each parameter are identified as "Star Performers."  To assess market success advancements, Everest Group evaluates the increase in the number of RPO clients, growth in recent successes, and the increase in the number of hires being managed.  Delivery capability is determined by reviewing annual growth in scale, increased scope of services, expansion of delivery footprint, and investments in technology enhancements, among other factors.
