Belkins climbs to #144 in Outsource Accelerator's OA500 2026 — up 5 spots from last year

Last year, Belkins landed at #149 on Outsource Accelerator's OA500. This year, we've moved up to #144 — a five-spot climb that keeps us solidly in the Top 200 of the world's leading outsourcing firms, out of more than 3,300 companies evaluated.

It's a small jump on paper, but it's the kind of steady, compounding progress we care about most: the result of another year of client growth, team expansion, and consistent execution rather than a one-off spike.

What the OA500 actually measures

Unlike many "top vendor" lists, the OA500 isn't pay-to-play. There's no sponsored placement and no submission fee that buys a better rank. Outsource Accelerator builds the index from 20+ publicly available data points — things no one can quietly influence, like domain authority, website traffic, LinkedIn signals, Glassdoor scores, third-party ratings, and estimated revenue. That independence is exactly why a five-spot climb means something: it reflects real market visibility and reputation, not a marketing push.

The five spots, in context

Moving from #149 to #144 might look incremental, but it puts Belkins ahead of a wider field within an already competitive Top 200 tier, and ahead of the majority of U.S.-based lead generation and client acquisition providers on the list. A few things drove it:

• Continued growth in client base and retained revenue
• Stronger digital footprint — search visibility, traffic, and LinkedIn engagement
• Higher employee satisfaction scores feeding into the "Quality" component of the index
• Broader industry reach, now spanning 50+ sectors from SaaS to healthcare to manufacturing

What's next

We're not chasing a number for its own sake. The climb matters because it tracks something real — clients trust us more, our team is growing, and our results are showing up in public data we don't control. We'll keep building toward the next one.
