The Planet Group

The Planet Group is a global advisory and staffing firm that works where talent and organizational transformation meet. The company combines a solutions-first approach with skilled talent to carry out tailored strategies intended to improve organizational agility and produce measurable results. It reports placing more than 80,000 people over the past decade and working more than 12,000 jobs in the last year. Combining staffing with consulting lets a firm like this support a client from planning a change through to providing the people who carry it out, so the client does not need separate vendors for each step.

On the staffing side, The Planet Group offers contract, direct hire and contract-to-hire placements, along with managed services support and nearshore, offshore and multishore delivery. Its advisory work covers digital transformation, data and AI adoption, and business advisory and management consulting. The company is a strategic partner to enterprise software vendors including Workday, Microsoft, Oracle, Snowflake and Palantir, providing workforce and advisory support for system implementations, upgrades and digital transformation, an area where specialized consultants are often in short supply.

The firm builds teams in technology, engineering, accounting and finance, digital marketing and manufacturing, and its practice areas also include human resources, construction and energy. Its published material includes a case study on utility staffing for nuclear support and a report on data center hiring, which points to work in sectors that need hard-to-find technical skills. The company serves both employers looking for talent and job seekers looking for their next role.
