Akkodis Named a Leader and Star Performer in Everest Group’s 2025 U.S. IT and Engineering Talent Assessments

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Akkodis, a global digital engineering company and the tech business of the Adecco Group, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader and Star Performer in Everest Group’s U.S. IT Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025. The firm was also named a Leader in the companion U.S. Engineering Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment.

Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® provides objective, data-driven assessments of 30 IT talent providers and 22 Engineering talent providers across capability and market success. The Star Performer designation is awarded to providers demonstrating the most significant year-over-year improvement on the matrix.

This recognition builds on Akkodis’ consistent track record as a Leader across every iteration of Everest Group’s IT and Engineering U.S. Talent PEAK Matrix® assessments. It underscores the company’s continued role as a trusted partner in enterprise transformation and highlights its successful evolution from traditional staffing to a services-led delivery model. By combining consulting, managed services, and proprietary platforms, Akkodis meets growing client demand for scalable, high-value technology and engineering solutions that extend well beyond talent acquisition.

 “This recognition reinforces the strength of our strategy, one built on diversified service offerings, deep client partnerships, and continuous innovation,” said Mike Small, President of Akkodis North America. “As enterprises demand more than talent, we are proud to lead the way with scalable managed services, consulting expertise, and agentic AI-driven solutions that extend far beyond the traditional talent model.”

• Strategic investments to enhance its technology stack, including agentic AI and proprietary platforms, enhancing both client and candidate experiences
• An expansive global delivery footprint, strengthened by nearshore and offshore capabilities, including the recent integration of Barhead in the Philippines

“Akkodis has built a comprehensive service portfolio encompassing IT and engineering consulting, managed services, and strong learning and development offerings. It stands out for its specialized focus in areas such as cloud, AI, cybersecurity, IoT, and industrial automation,” said Priyanka Mitra, Vice President, Everest Group.  She continued, “It has developed a robust portfolio of proprietary assets, including industry-specific productized offerings, and elevated its technology partnership ecosystem through partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and SAP. Akkodis’ strong vision for leveraging technology to drive efficiency coupled with its expanding nearshore and offshore delivery presence further solidifies its position across both assessments.”

Everest Group notes that Leaders in IT and Engineering are moving up the value chain by becoming strategic partners to enterprises.
