BPO Companies Make Strong Showing on Businessweek’s Hot 100

May 29, 2006

BW ranks fast growing companies by sales growth, profit growth, and return on invested capital (calculated as profits divided by equity adn debt outstanding).  Sales growth and profit growth are each weighted at 1/4 and return on capital is weighted at 1/2.  Then they throw out all of the questionable companies and rank the rest from 1 to 100.

In this year's list business process outsourcing providers make an impressive showing.  In particular several companies core focus is helping their clients deal with labor management issues.  These companies include: PeopleSupport (#14), Cognizant Technology Solutions (#16), Resources Connection (#21), Gevity HR (#33), Barrett Business Services (#44), Labor Ready (#80), Korn/Ferry Internationl (#82), Kforce (#89).  That's 8% of the BW Hot 100.

This is worth noting because it shows that there is a serious demand for services that help companies manage their human resources.  Of course, one of the growing services in this area are companies that either help firms homeshore their labor or homeshore companies that actually contract with companies to do work and then utilized home-based staff.

In the future it will be unsurprising to see major homeshoring companies on this list.
