Cielo

Cielo is a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firm that manages talent acquisition on behalf of client companies. Working across 91 countries and in 33 languages, the firm employs more than 2,000 people and has been ranked the No. 1 global RPO provider on multiple occasions. Its model combines dedicated recruitment teams, established processes and recruitment technology rather than simply forwarding candidates to clients.

The company's work spans four service lines: Talent Acquisition, which handles outsourced recruitment; Search, covering executive and specialist hiring; Consulting, which advises on talent acquisition strategy; and Digital Accelerators™, a set of proprietary technology-led products built on recruitment technology. For technologists, the Digital Accelerators™ work is the most relevant: it involves the design and deployment of tools that accelerate hiring, alongside broader digital transformation programmes for clients.

Cielo describes its approach as "WE BECOME YOU", meaning teams embed within client organisations to understand their specific hiring needs. The company positions itself as a strategic partner to clients rather than a transactional supplier, with an emphasis on fresh strategies, innovative technology and improving the experience of the hiring process for candidates. The name Cielo, meaning sky in Spanish, is used to underline this ambition.
