Key Findings & Highlights:
Cielo is a strategic talent acquisition partner for clients who wish to transform their talent acquisition (TA) function. The 2013 merger between U.S.-based Pinstripe and U.K.-based Ochre House resulted in the formation of Cielo.
The company maintains four global talent acquisition service offerings:
- Full-service and modular RPO
- Search
- Talent Consulting
- Contingent Workforce.
Backed by its 2018 private equity funding from Permira Group, Cielo acquired China-based AsiaNet in March 2020 to expand its presence in China, including service centers in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Wuhan. In a second acquisition, the company acquired talent acquisition and technology consulting firm Talent Function in December 2020. In May 2022, the company acquired the boutique human capital consulting firm Peridus Group. Since 2020, Peridus has expanded consulting services for Cielo associated with Workday, HR strategy, technical integration and implementation, and data migration for its clients. The acquisition strengthens the company’s technology advisory and consulting services portfolio and consolidates its consulting services, including DEI and Employer Branding, into a single strategic consulting practice.
