Based on an initiative to combine Kodak contract labor services with recruitment and staffing into one large global outsourcing project, the series highlights the search to find a single solution provider with global capabilities for all related services; a solution they found in Pinstripe, Inc.

"Pinstripe's unique and innovative approach to talent acquisition solutions and services was a primary factor behind our decision," explained Elizabeth Petro, director, talent acquisition & strategy development – Global Shared Services for Kodak.  "Pinstripe demonstrated they have a winning blend of sophisticated technology and advanced recruitment techniques. That combination will create efficiencies, decrease our administrative costs and improve the quality and speed of hiring the best talent."

Praise for the series has been widely acknowledged by buyers and providers of outsourcing services for both its production quality and its innovative nature.  Provided to the OI network – the largest network of outsourcing professionals in the world, with more than 70,000 executives, practitioners and experts – the series delivers a depth of information and insight into 'what it takes to win,' as demonstrated by the Pinstripe team.

"It was a pleasure to be involved with this behind-the-scenes look at what buyers are really looking for in their RPO providers," said Pinstripe CEO Sue Marks.  "The outcome was a validation of our philosophy that being pro-active, prepared and paying close attention to detail is appreciated by companies seeking a provider who understands their needs and will best serve their business objectives."
