OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRR; STRRP) ("Star" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Hudson Talent Solutions ("HTS") operating inside the Business Services division, has been named one of the world's leading recruitment process outsourcing ("RPO") providers in HRO Today's 2026 Global RPO Baker's Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings.
This is the 18th consecutive year HTS has been named to the Global RPO Baker's Dozen. In the 2026 ratings, HTS ranked No. 3 overall globally, up from No. 5 in 2025. HTS also ranked No. 3 for Quality of Service, No. 4 for Breadth of Service, and No. 5 for Size of Deals.
The HRO Today Baker's Dozen rankings are based exclusively on client feedback. RPO providers are assessed on the breadth of their services, the scale and scope of the programs they support, and the quality of the client experience.
This recognition reinforces HTS's strong market position, long-standing client relationships, global delivery capabilities, and ongoing investment in technology-enabled talent acquisition solutions. HTS continues to evolve its RPO model by combining global delivery expertise, talent advisory services, and agentic AI technology across the talent acquisition lifecycle. Its solutions help organizations improve hiring outcomes, adapt more quickly to changing workforce needs, and build scalable, high-performing recruitment functions.
"HRO Today's recognition of HTS is particularly meaningful because it is based on feedback from RPO clients," said Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Star Equity. "Our move to No. 3 globally, alongside 18 consecutive years of recognition, reflects the strength of HTS's client relationships, global delivery platform, and management team. We believe HTS's ability to combine talent advisory, scalable service delivery, and technology, including agentic AI, enables our team to meet the increasingly complex hiring needs of large organizations."
"This recognition means so much because it comes directly from our clients," said Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions. "Their trust, partnership, and honest feedback shape how we continue to evolve. To be recognized for 18 consecutive years reflects the consistency of our teams around the world, and our commitment to helping clients solve increasingly complex talent challenges."
