NXTThing RPO unveiled PersonaG at HR Tech 2025, their new high-volume recruiting solution that has been live with customers for 18 months and officially launched this week. The RPO provider, experiencing 50% year-over-year growth in a flat market, has strategically shifted to become more technology-focused while maintaining their services expertise.
PersonaG addresses the inadequate technology landscape for frontline and high-volume hiring. The platform features comprehensive recruitment marketing, career site development, flexible application options (chat, form, phone), and automated scheduling. A major client in the calibration industry now uses PersonaG for approximately 15,000 hires annually in a hybrid model, having consolidated multiple systems into this single solution.
The solution’s AI capabilities include two distinct scoring mechanisms: an AI-matching component that crawls external sites to find and nurture candidates, and a weighted prescreening score for compliance-conscious organizations. The system can operate fully autonomously, moving candidates scoring above set thresholds directly to interviews or even offers—some clients go from application to offer with start date and shift assignment in 30-60 seconds.
TalentaG, their workforce insights platform, is expanding beyond analytics to include workforce planning and retention features. Currently in beta, the platform’s AI component identifies retention issues and provides actionable insights, analyzing survey data, external brand perception, and compensation benchmarks to recommend solutions for improving retention.
Looking ahead, PersonaG’s roadmap includes an AI recruiter co-pilot that identifies “red recs” and provides specific action recommendations, while TalentaG will enhance its workforce planning capabilities. With implementation timelines significantly shorter than enterprise competitors, NXTThing RPO positions itself to capture market share as companies seek more agile solutions.
