Overview

What they do

Written from their own pages and the public record, checked 3 September 2026.

Cielo is an RPO, employer branding and talent marketing provider headquartered in Wauwatosa, United States. The group has 1,001 to 5,000 employees (LinkedIn, read 2026-09-03). Permira has held a majority stake since 2019. It offers enterprise, project, hybrid and contingent RPO with unpublished pricing and volume, and sits under RPO, employer branding and recruitment marketing.

Our take

The employer brand practice is unusual inside an RPO. It is staffed as a consulting line with research, messaging, creative, paid and owned media and analytics, and it wins on its own at the Employer Brand Management Awards. The published work supports that: a week of onsite interviews and a photo shoot for Becton Dickinson in Grenoble, a UK and Europe market study for Barts Health. Healthcare is the deepest sector, first in the HRO Today healthcare ranking for over a decade. Two cautions. The brand work is sold alongside hiring delivery, so a standalone brief may be a different conversation. And most published outcomes are percentages without a baseline.

Published by the agency on its own site. We summarise them, and link to one.

Becton Dickinson

Boosting employer brand and EVP for a life sciences leader

Employer brand work for the Grenoble site, which hires about 200 people a year and needed senior life sciences candidates to relocate. Cielo ran a week of onsite leadership and family interviews and two focus groups, plus a two day photo shoot, and delivered a bilingual microsite, relocation and leader story sheets, infographics and an image library. The site reports time to submit improved 16 per cent and time to hire 19 per cent.

Barts Health NHS Trust

Big volume hiring challenges with Barts Health

Employer brand and recruitment marketing for England's largest NHS trust across five London hospitals. Market research across the UK and Europe, a competitor positioning audit, a reworked employee value proposition, redesigned careers pages and a targeted campaign. The site reports higher website conversion, shorter time to fill and lower cost per hire, without figures.

    3. 03Which entity you would contract with. The UK company is Cielo Talent Limited in London, held by Talent Bidco Limited, and the group is US headquartered.
