Pinstripe Rises to Number Five on 'Baker's Dozen' List of Nation's Top RPO Providers

BROOKFIELD, Wis., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinstripe, Inc., a leading human resources and recruitment outsourcing company, today announced its recognition among the annual "Baker's Dozen" list of major recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firms.  Published by HRO Today Magazine, the ranking is an evaluation of the top RPO providers in the industry based on three criteria: breadth of service, customer satisfaction, and engagement size.

The largest RPO survey to date, this year's Baker's Dozen results are based on a confidential qualitative and quantitative survey completed by 448 HR and Talent Acquisition executives who are buyers of RPO services.  Rankings are determined based on the statistical analysis of surveys and a predetermined weighting algorithm.  According to Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today Magazine, "Pinstripe's strong move up the ranking this year on the HRO Today Magazine HRO Today Bakers Dozen Customer Satisfaction Survey reflects their continuing evolution.  As a new company only five years ago founded by respected industry veterans, they have risen steadily to becoming a firm of considerable size and capability. They now compete for some of the most significant outsourcing programs in RPO, as evidenced by the feature in the July/August issue of HRO Today Magazine.  We expect them to now be one of the dominant market players."

"It is an enormous honor that in this, our third consecutive year to be listed among these top 13 companies, Pinstripe's has risen to number five on the list," said Sue Marks, Pinstripe CEO.  "Our fifth place showing is the result of our customer satisfaction score, coupled with the size and complexity of the deals we've won during the past year.  This ranking demonstrates the quality of our service delivery, the business value of the results we deliver, and the tremendous progress we've made in steadily growing and expanding the depth and capabilities of our organization," she added.
