Our 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; placing our staff and their passion for recruitment and the partnerships we make at the heart of the business, and ultimately people like you would not only enjoy coming to work, but were supported to develop even further every day.

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.
