KellyOCG Named to HRO Today's Baker's Dozen List

TROY, Mich. (June 1, 2011) – – The Contingent Workforce Outsourcing (CWO) practice of Kelly Outsourcing and Consulting Group (KellyOCG) has been named by HRO Today magazine in its annual MSP Baker’s Dozen list. Currently in its second year, the Baker’s Dozen list ranking is an industry benchmark recognizing the leading players in the Contingent Workforce Outsourcing (MSP) business globally.

The results of the Baker’s Dozen list are based upon a survey completed by HR and Procurement professionals who are current buyers of MSP services.

The Enterprise Baker’s Dozen list which has been generated by HRO Today for two years names the top providers in MSP. The magazine cites the results in its May 2011 issue.
