What's driving agility

As one of the world's largest talent acquisition organizations, we see what's happening across industries and around the world every day. The truth is:

Work is being reinvented. Roles, skills and structures are constantly evolving.


Forecasting demand is futile. Change is too fast to lock into long-term hiring plans.


Tech potential is untapped. Agility means leveraging tools, not systems that stall.

85% of business leaders say their organizations must become more agile to keep pace with change.

Our agile approach to talent acquisition

Rigid processes and fixed agreements are out. Agility is always in – at least when you partner with Cielo. Your needs drive our support. Our recruiters flex and adapt to what's actually happening, not what's predicted.

With our agile model, you’ll protect what you’ve already built while uncovering new value through:
