You can partner with Cielo for media and technology talent acquisition in many ways, including:

  1. Digital Accelerators™
    In an AI-everywhere world, Cielo’s Digital Accelerators™ are refreshingly different. They turn AI into meaningful results, accelerating your journey as a tech-forward TA team powered by intelligent tools.

    Each tool targets a key TA activity. Expand your access to diverse talent. Gain meaningful insights to shape your strategy. Amplify your employer brand. Enhance the experience of your candidates, recruiters and hiring managers at scale.

  2. Contingent Workforce
    Here you can bring the right media and tech talent to work – whether gig, temporary or retained. You’ll gain the expertise and market insights to manage hiring through direct sourcing.

    Remember that today, workforce ecosystems are becoming more complex as talent designs new ways of working. Turnover is increasing, candidates’ personal requirements are growing, and there’s a lack of available talent due to stronger competition. A contingent workforce will fill talent gaps and unlock access to highly specialized, niche skills – especially in a future where hiring is becoming more and more skills based.

Talent acquisition trends in the technology and media industry are always evolving. Current trends include growing need for internal mobility, rise of digital nomads, continued desire for career flexibility.

Talent acquisition in the technology industry is all about comprehension and speed because qualified talent is scarce. To connect with the best tech talent, first connect with the best talent partner: Cielo. We’ll make sure your tech talent acquisition team – internal, external, or a mix of both – is set up for success.

A contingent workforce is made up of people who offer their skills and services on a provisional basis. Think contractors, consultants, freelancers, and temporary workers who are typically under contract to complete a project or fill a role for a specified amount of time.

Similarly. Employment status and benefits differ, but the way permanent and contingent workers are recruited shouldn’t. The way we work is constantly being redefined – candidates may be solely full-time, primarily freelance, or a combination of both. Every potential employee deserves the same attention and respect. With Cielo’s Contingent Workforce solution, we make sure that’s the case.

With Cielo as your service provider, you’ll get a total workforce view to move your business forward. We’ll make sure all candidates receive a consistent experience – regardless of source type. We’ll help plan and manage your workforce to fit organizational goals and seamlessly blend gig, temporary and retained workers.

Advantages of a total workforce approach – which provides a single view of talent – include risk mitigation, cost savings, faster time to fill, higher quality talent, and more. Not to mention a more consistent experience for everyone, no matter source type. Talent is changing where and how they work, so keeping up with hiring demands means removing the divide between permanent, gig, temporary, or retained workers.
