KellyOCG + Sevenstep Earns Long-Term Partnership Award at US TIARA Talent Awards
RPO leader recognized for transformative collaboration with leading healthcare enterprise
TROY, Mich., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , the permanent hiring solutions business of leading specialty talent solutions provider Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), was recognized at the 2025 with the Morton Long-Term Partnership Award.
The TIARA Talent Awards - US, presented by TALiNT Partners, celebrate the best recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), managed service provider (MSP), and talent solutions providers. The Morton Long-Term Partnership Award recognizes a relationship over at least five years that demonstrates sustained success and continuous improvement.
“KellyOCG + Sevenstep impressed judges with their transformative collaboration with their client, scaling annual hires while navigating major organizational shifts and crises with agility and empathy,” TALiNT Partners noted in the award announcement.
The recognition is based on a six-year RPO relationship between KellyOCG + Sevenstep and a Fortune 10 global healthcare enterprise focused on pharmacy, technology, and benefits operations. Since 2019, this relationship has helped the client successfully navigate numerous challenges and changes in hiring needs, from a rapid enterprise pivot to a work-from-home setting, to resizing TA for an 80% hiring volume decrease over two weeks and a hiring rebound that required the RPO team to expand from 35 to 105 over one quarter. KellyOCG + Sevenstep’s talent data integration and analytics platform, its expanded global footprint, and its breadth of capabilities as an integrated business were essential to the successful growth of this and all other client relationships.
Today, KellyOCG + Sevenstep supports this healthcare customer across 25 business segments and three brands in tandem with its talent acquisition and people team, its enterprise talent office, and business leaders to handle 10,000 hires annually. As a trusted advisor, the KellyOCG + Sevenstep RPO team is viewed as the client’s number one provider of unique value-added talent acquisition services and overflow recruitment support. The relationship extends across US RPO, EMEA RPO and EMEA MSP programs.
“The Long-Term Partnership Award reflects the value of the trusting relationships KellyOCG + Sevenstep builds with clients,” said Greg Karr, Executive Vice President, Client Solutions at KellyOCG + Sevenstep. “Our talent solutions prioritize consultative problem-solving, establishing a shared commitment to every client’s success, and driving creative approaches to new demands. Clients trust us to give them a ready-for-everything talent advantage in an uncertain business environment, and we build our solutions to deliver.”
“KellyOCG + Sevenstep demonstrated the power of experience and commitment in cultivating a long-term client partnership,” said Ken Brotherston, Chief Executive at TALiNT Partners. “Their ability to align with the human and technological demands of rapid team reduction, expansion, and transformation to encompass a complex global enterprise is the kind of value employers need in a talent solutions partner. We are proud to highlight this relationship that brings that value to life.”
