One of only three providers worldwide to earn Leader and Star Performer in both categories; recognition reflects innovation in AI-enabled delivery, direct sourcing, and measurable customer outcomes. 

[Detroit, USA] — [September, Tuesday 16, 2025] — Guidant Global, an Impellam Group company, today announced it has been named a Leader and Star Performer in two Everest Group PEAK Matrix® 2025 assessments: Contingent Workforce Management (CWM)/Managed Service Providers (MSP) and Services Procurement/Statement of Work (SOW).  

Guidant is one of only three companies globally to receive Leader and Star Performer status in both categories. 

Contingent Workforce Management (CWM) / Managed Service Providers (MSP) 

Claire Marsh, CEO of Guidant and Impellam North America, emphasized the recognition as validation of Guidant’s vision to shape the future of work and commitment to deliver comprehensive workforce solutions that help customers navigate the increasing complexities of modern workforce management.  

“This recognition is a scoreboard for our customers’ gains: fewer vacancies, faster projects, and lower risk,” said Claire Marsh, CEO of Guidant and Impellam North America. “As AI reshapes every industry, we’re investing in advanced technology, exceptional talent, and strategic partnerships. Through our omni-channel talent ecosystem, we simplify workforce strategies and connect clients to in-demand STEM experts, knowledge workers, and industry specialists, driving measurable impact. Everest Group’s recognition adds momentum to accelerate innovation and deliver even greater outcomes for our customers.” 

Krishna Charan, Vice President at Everest Group comments “Guidant Global continues to advance its standing in the CWM market, particularly after its merger with HeadFirst, by combining expansive geographic presence and operational scale with delivery across diverse industries and regions. Its investments in technology – enhanced with modular solutions, advanced analytics, and gen AI – along with strengths in direct sourcing and capabilities spanning freelancer/IC management, underpin its positioning as a Leader and Star Performer on Everest Group’s CWM/MSP PEAK Matrix® 2025.” 

Services Procurement/Statement of Work (SOW) 

“Customers are increasingly embracing Statement of Work (SOW) models as a flexible alternative to traditional contingent labor, and we’ve built a services procurement practice to match, aligning client-dedicated resources with industry verticals and category specialists, streamlining sourcing and competitive bidding, and providing real-time milestone analytics,” said Simon Blockley, CEO of Guidant and Impellam UK and Ireland.  

“By prioritizing services procurement as a core growth strategy, we deliver end-to-end support from project scoping and onboarding through outcome-based reporting across mature and emerging markets. Everest Group’s Leader and Star Performer recognition validates the significant progress of our team.” 

Krishna Charan, Vice President at Everest Group comments, “Guidant Global continues to strengthen its position in services procurement, demonstrating success in managing flexible and mid-scale programs across regions and spend categories. Its investments in analytics platforms, partnerships with third-party SOW tools, and strategic deployment of proprietary solutions with embedded consulting expertise have underpinned its positioning as a Leader and Star Performer on Everest Group’s Services Procurement / SOW PEAK Matrix® 2025.”
