MILWAUKEE, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Talent Solutions TAPFIN, part of the ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) family of brands, has been named a Global Leader and Star Performer in the Everest Group 2026 PEAK Matrix® Assessment for both Contingent Workforce Management (CWM) and Scope of Work (SOW) services. The recognition marks TAPFIN's 13th consecutive year of best-in-class excellence for CWM and fifth consecutive year for SOW, demonstrating its consistent global contingent workforce leadership.

"More than a decade of consistent recognition as both a Global Leader and Star Performer for workforce solutions is no accident," Amy Doyle, Global Leader of TAPFIN, said. "It is a truly a credit to our client-focused teams around the world as they work to help our clients more effectively manage human capital and innovate for the future of workforce orchestration."

From Workforce Management to Workforce Orchestration
TAPFIN is evolving its managed service provider offerings toward workforce orchestration, helping clients coordinate decisions across contingent, permanent, services procurement and SOW, freelance, and emerging digital labor channels. Combining its global capabilities with the broader ManpowerGroup ecosystem gives organizations a more integrated view of workforce needs and talent options.

Turning Workforce Intelligence into Action
TAPFIN's Sophie workforce intelligence environment and IntelliReach analytics combine workforce and market data to inform talent planning, sourcing and supplier decisions. Continued investment in generative and agentic AI supports capabilities such as guided workforce channel selection, SOW scoping and supplier risk analysis, while its Strategic Sourcing Advisory function helps clients translate insights into workforce strategy.

Strengthening Services Procurement and Talent Access
Everest Group recognized TAPFIN's dedicated services procurement practice, which supports the full SOW lifecycle from demand shaping and sourcing to contracting, supplier governance and performance management. Complementing these capabilities, TAPFIN's partner-led independent contractor ecosystem and direct-sourcing programs help clients connect talent channels while strengthening access, governance and workforce visibility.

"Talent Solutions TAPFIN has advanced its services procurement management capabilities across scoping, sourcing, contracting, supplier governance, and performance management, supported by strong market traction and continued technology investment," said Lokesh Goyal, Vice President at Everest Group. "Its WorkScope IQ, Supplier IQ, Sophie, and IntelliReach capabilities, along with AI-enabled procurement, are enhancing SOW authoring, supplier risk analysis, and program oversight, contributing to TAPFIN's position as a Leader and Star Performer on Everest Group's Services Procurement / SOW PEAK Matrix® 2026."
