What ManpowerGroup does

ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) is a publicly traded global workforce solutions provider founded in 1948 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company operates across more than 75 countries and territories through three principal brands — Manpower (contingent and permanent general staffing), Experis (IT professional resourcing, project-based solutions, and enterprise AI services), and Talent Solutions (RPO, managed service provider TAPFIN, and career transition services through Right Management) — collectively placing work with hundreds of thousands of client organizations and supporting more than 400,000 internal and contract employees worldwide. Its GTM is sales-led, structured around regional presidents covering North America, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Latin America (18 countries), and Asia Pacific & Middle East, with direct enterprise account teams and a Global Sales organization consolidated under an SVP since 2021.

Revenue is generated through three streams: staffing services (transaction fees and mark-ups on bill rates for contingent and permanent placement — approximately 85% of 2025 revenue generated outside the United States), managed talent solutions (per-transaction and management fees across RPO, TAPFIN MSP, and Right Management), and professional services through Experis (IT and AI resourcing). The underlying technology stack centers on PowerSuite, a proprietary AI-powered assessment and candidate-matching platform deployed across ~90% of global operations that has reduced candidate screening time by 67%, augmented by MyPath for career development and a recent generation of AI capabilities including the Hubert AI interviewing platform and the EXCELERATE AI services suite built with SoundHound AI for enterprise conversational AI deployment.

The business is undergoing a repositioning: a global transformation program targets $200 million in permanent annual cost savings by 2028 driven by AI-enabled workflow redesign and front/back-office consolidation, while simultaneously pivoting Experis from IT staffing to a technology services leader anchored on enterprise AI outcomes. FY2025 revenue was approximately $18.0 billion (a 2.1% constant-currency decline), with Q1 2026 revenue accelerating +10% year-over-year to $4.51 billion. Recent M&A activity is mixed — a 2021 $925 million acquisition of ettain Group expanded IT staffing, while a 2026 $100 million divestiture of Jefferson Wells U.S. to Sikich sharpened focus on the three core brands. Recognition includes the #1 Forbes Best Temporary Staffing Firm ranking for 10 consecutive years, 17 years on the World's Most Ethical Companies list, Everest Group RPO leadership for 13 years, and MSCI ESG AA Leader status.

Direct peers

• Adecco Group: Swiss-headquartered global staffing leader competing head-to-head with ManpowerGroup across generalist staffing (Adecco, LHH), professional staffing (Akkodis), and outplacement/workforce solutions across Europe and the Americas. Operates a similar three/four-brand portfolio at comparable global scale.
• Randstad: Dutch global staffing and HR services firm with direct overlap on contingent staffing, permanent placement, RPO/MSP (Randstad Sourceright), and managed services. Competes with ManpowerGroup on multinational enterprise contracts and holds leading positions in Europe and North America.
• Robert Half International: U.S.-focused staffing firm heavily overlapping with Experis on IT/technology and Manpower/Right Management on finance/accounting/project placement. Closest U.S. comparability on the professional and technical direct-hire side.
• Recruit Holdings: Japanese holding company owning Indeed, Glassdoor, and the staffing brands RGF Staffing/Recruit. Operates the same generalist + technology + HR Solutions model globally and is the largest pure-play peer by revenue scale.
• Hays plc: U.K.-headquartered professional staffing specialist focused on IT, engineering, finance, and life sciences. Direct overlap with Experis on technology talent and with ManpowerGroup on permanent professional placement across Europe, UK, and APME.
• Kelly Services: U.S.-based generalist staffing firm with overlap on clerical/industrial staffing plus Kelly OCG for RPO/MSP, directly comparable on brand and product portfolio to ManpowerGroup's generalist + Talent Solutions lines.
• PageGroup: U.K.-listed professional recruitment firm (Page, Michael Page) with significant overlap with ManpowerGroup's permanent placement and Experis' professional talent services across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Emerging players

• Cielo: Privately-held pure-play RPO and MSP provider that competes directly with ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions (RPO, TAPFIN) for large enterprise recruitment process outsourcing contracts. More focused and emerging, but a meaningful share-taker in this segment.

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with executive search, RPO (KF Forward), and professional staffing/talent acquisition arms. Overlaps with ManpowerGroup on senior placements, RPO, and organizational consulting through Right Management and Talent Solutions.
• Workday: Enterprise HCM/HRIS platform whose workforce management and talent modules compete with ManpowerGroup's internal PowerSuite capabilities and present an alternative for clients choosing to insource talent technology rather than partner with a staffing firm.
