Let's be a part of
Your story
You're smart, driven, and pretty great to be around.
We're changing perceptions of recruitment. It must be love.
It started when we asked ourselves "what is it you love about recruitment?". Mid dot-com crash, working in a company that prioritised bashing the phones, that told us to dream big whilst we stood still, there wasn't much to love where we were. So, we set out to start a company where recruitment could be done differently, where our staff are supported to grow, succeed, to feel at home, and ultimately love what they do.
Quite a lot has changed since that we asked ourselves that question, but we're just as committed to continuing our mission to help recruiters, businesses, and professionals succeed. Whatever your story, we'd love to be a part of it.

work for us
-
The friendly environment makes it a pleasure to work for Eligo – I wake up in the morning and look forward to coming to work! The support I receive is fantastic if I ever need to ask for advice. I truly believe the culture at Eligo has enabled me to become the successful recruitment manager I am today.
-
Andy and John have created a fantastic working environment at Eligo and my time there has helped shape who I am today. Mixing fun and work is no easy task, but that is exactly what you have at Eligo. The door is always open to Senior Management which is essential in a good recruitment agency and the advice and support received is nothing short of phenomenal.
-
The senior management at Eligo helps and teaches people how to choose their own path and follow it, by encouraging their personal initiative and will to develop. Eligo is not just an ordinary place to work, it supports and guides its employees to build their future.
-
I joined the Eligo Academy in April 2016 and during my time they helped me to learn a completely new sector and industry from scratch, without feeling rushed and pressured while still working towards targets and achievements. The training scheme itself is without a doubt one of the best and well-planned programmes I have come across in terms of learning a new industry.
-
I totally loved working at Eligo! When I joined, I was looking for a flexible, open and rewarding place. I was offered exactly what I wanted: a very well-balanced and fun working environment with plenty of freedom and autonomy. At Eligo recognition is given when it’s deserved and help offered when needed. It’s a great place for recruitment professionals to apply their skills and knowledge, to grow, improve and succeed.
-
Eligo genuinely has a real family feel but with the resources of a large agency. In the nine years, I’ve been an “Eligoid”, things have evolved, grown and improved year-on-year with the constant adoption of state of the art resources and up-to-date tech. This has really helped us to continue to be the best at what we do whilst encouraging independence and flexible working.
I can’t stress enough what a hugely supportive and friendly environment Eligo is. We all support each other through the good and the tricky times, be it work or personal. I have been truly touched by this over the years, including of course across the last year where the encouragement and constant positivity from the top downwards has been incredible.
-
My experience at Eligo started more than 5 years ago through the Academy and lead me to the Manager position for the International Division. This journey was possible because the Senior Management created a truly supportive working environment where the primary concern is to allow your talent and potential to flourish. In every step of my career progression I was encouraged to push myself, given more responsibilities and guided when needed.
As crazy as it sounds, Eligo became my family in the UK and I’m Italian, so “family” is a word not to be used lightly. If you are interested in joining a great company with passionate professionals and amazing bosses you are in the right place.
-
I previously worked for a hardcore ‘old school’ Construction Recruiter in London for almost 9 years before becoming a mum and joining Eligo back in 2018. The difference between the 2 companies is just insane, I came from a culture that was ruthless and what I consider a fairly uncaring environment and I can honestly say coming to Eligo has been the best move of my career. Eligo just really get the meaning of the word ‘support’ - they communicate, they listen and they support each and every one of us, it’s as simple as that.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am now a full remote worker which suits me no end, especially having 2 young children. This working from home arrangement has had such a positive impact on my relationship with my kids which is just priceless, and despite working from home, I have never felt so in touch with my colleagues.
