Key Findings & Highlights:
NXTThing RPO (NXTThing) provides comprehensive RPO and project recruitment process outsourcing services, along with front-end support and recruiter augmentation. The company improves its clients' HR processes by partnering and leveraging a variety of flexible RPO and talent acquisition products and technology to develop customized solutions that meet each client’s specific needs.
In April 2021, K1 Investment Management announced a partnership involving NXTThing, Jobvite (a provider of comprehensive talent acquisition solutions), and JazzHR, a recruiting software provider, to develop Employ, a combined talent acquisition and recruiting solutions company. In August 2022, the company announced it had acquired Lever, a talent acquisition software suite. While companies operate under the Employ umbrella, NXTThing reports directly to K1 Investment Management, maintaining greater autonomy for its service-focused business.
As economic and geopolitical uncertainty persists, NXTThing has adapted its product and service offerings to address limited budgets, urgent resource needs, and new technologies. This shift helps clients optimize their infrastructure, implement AI-powered solutions, and enhance talent acquisition results. The company organizes its talent acquisition services into the following categories:
- Talent acquisition
- Talent intelligence
- Recruitment marketing
- Conversational AI recruitment solutions.
The company’s product portfolio includes:
- Personegy - an AI-powered hiring platform launched in Q3 2025 that supports frontline, hourly, and high-volume hiring. It automates screening, scheduling, and communication with candidates
- Talentegy - NXTThing’s talent analytics platform that continuously tracks the candidate and employee experience, measuring engagement, EVP, and sourcing metrics.
NXTThing’s offerings are available as standalone or bundled options, including service-only, service-led technology, and technology-only solutions.
The company’s in-house software experts develop tools for both internal and external clients. It provides talent acquisition technology through its parent organization, Employ, and develops customized features for the RPO industry, including its Personegy and Talentegy platforms.
