Hudson Global, Inc. (Hudson) operates as a leading total talent solutions provider operating under the brand name Hudson RPO.
The company delivers innovative, customized recruitment outsourcing and total talent solutions to organizations worldwide. Through its consultative approach, the company develops tailored talent solutions designed to meet its clients' strategic growth initiatives.
The company delivers Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services, consisting of recruitment and contracting solutions tailored to the individual needs of primarily mid-to-large-cap multinational companies. The company's RPO delivery teams utilize recruitment process methodologies and project management expertise to meet clients' ongoing business needs. The company's RPO services include complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, contingent workforce solutions, and recruitment consulting for clients' permanent staff hires. Hudson's RPO services leverage the company's consultants, supported by the company's specialists, in the delivery of its proprietary methods to identify, select, and engage the best-fit talent for critical client roles. In addition, the company provides RPO clients with a range of outsourced professional contract staffing services and managed service provider services offered sometimes on a standalone basis and sometimes as part of a blended total talent solution. These services draw upon a combination of specialized recruiting and project management competencies to deliver a wide range of solutions. Hudson-employed professionals - either individually or as a team - are placed with client organizations for a defined period of time based on specific business needs of the client.
In February 2024, Hudson RPO announced an expansion of its service offerings to include executive search in North America, focusing on Life Sciences and Human Resources. This expansion, coupled with the company's existing RPO strategy, provides a comprehensive talent acquisition approach, enabling clients to develop streamlined and centralized hiring strategies within a flexible and scalable total talent solution. This service offering better positions the company as a strategic partner helping clients to implement successful business strategies.
On October 31, 2023, Hudson completed its acquisition of Hudson Global Resources (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (Hudson Singapore), a provider of recruitment services primarily to clients operating in Singapore. Hudson Singapore has a 30-year track record of senior placements and project recruitment work across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Karani partners with recruitment and staffing firms to assist with recruiting, sourcing, screening, onboarding, and other talent-related services across a variety of industries.
