Jul 11, 2019

BROOKFIELD, WI – Cielo, the world’s leading strategic Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner, today announced it once again has been positioned as a Leader in every category of NelsonHall’s 2019 NEAT vendor evaluation for RPO.

NEAT assesses both the ability of RPO providers to bring immediate benefits to clients as well as preparing them to meet their future talent acquisition needs. Since the NEAT Assessment’s inception in 2014, Cielo has been ranked as a Leader in every category, including Overall, Candidate Experience, Geographic Footprint and Scalability, Services Delivery Innovation, Sourcing Candidates, and Technology Innovation.

Nikki Edwards, Principal HR Services Research Analyst with NelsonHall, said, “Cielo continues to build on its already-established expertise and its candidate- and client-centric service. The company adds value to its global client base by investing in its geographic footprint, tools and technology to attract new audiences and keep pace with the ever-changing talent market.”

Given its findings in the NEAT report, NelsonHall forecasts that Cielo will:

  • Continue to expand globally with existing clients, new clients, and via strategic acquisitions
  • See expansion into the APAC and LATAM regions
  • Receive growing interest in its High Volume RPO offering (by both new clients to Cielo and its existing client base who want to add high-volume hiring into their existing partnership)

“Being recognized for five consecutive years by NelsonHall further validates our category leadership in the global RPO and total talent market,” said Sue Marks, Cielo’s Founder and CEO. “Thank you to our talented teams who serve as our clients’ strategic talent acquisition partners. Together you excel at delivering value today and preparing for what clients will need in the future.”
