NXTThing RPO

What NXTThing RPO does

NXTThing RPO is a private recruitment process outsourcing firm founded in 2019 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Employ Inc., a diversified talent acquisition technology group that also owns JazzHR, Lever, and Jobvite. The company delivers RPO programs, recruitment marketing, talent intelligence, and consulting services to enterprise and mid-market organizations across retail, manufacturing, automotive, logistics, healthcare, education, life sciences, and telecommunications, with named clients including Caliber Collision (1,800+ locations), Follett Higher Education (1,000+ campus stores), Spectrum, a Fortune 100 telecommunications company, and a global pharmaceutical firm. The firm operates primarily in North America, is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and is led by CEO Terry Terhark and President Jamie Minier.

The company's technology stack centers on two proprietary platforms: Personegy, an AI-powered hiring platform launched in September 2025 that combines mobile-first applications, AI-driven screening, automated interview scheduling, and CRM-style AI nurturing for high-volume frontline roles; and Talentegy, a talent analytics and recruitment marketing ROI platform. Both integrate with major ATS/HRIS systems (Workday, SAP, ADP, iCIMS, UKG). Vendor-reported outcomes from Personegy deployments include a 48% reduction in time-to-hire, a 34% reduction in cost-per-hire, a 52% decrease in candidate drop-off rates, and up to 15 hours per week of recruiter time reclaimed, though these figures are vendor-reported and have not been independently audited.

NXTThing RPO generates revenue through multi-year enterprise RPO service contracts structured as recurring subscriptions, complemented by talent intelligence platform subscriptions, recruitment marketing engagements, and consulting and advisory fees. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution runs through a direct enterprise sales motion, supplemented by channel reach through the Employ Inc. ecosystem of 18,000+ customers and a 2022 strategic partnership placing JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite, and NXTThing RPO within the UKG Marketplace. The company has earned consistent analyst recognition, including NelsonHall RPO Leader designation (2021-2023), Everest Group Star Performer and Major Contender (2025), Brandon Hall Excellence in Technology Awards (2023, 2025), and the Lighthouse Tech Award for Best Frontline-Focused Solution (2026).
