Recruitment process outsourcing provider Cielo has opened an office in Seoul, South Korea, marking its entry into its 13th country in the Asia Pacific region.
The office, located at Spaces Autoway Tower in the Gangnam district, will house a team focused on delivering talent acquisition solutions including RPO, employer branding, executive search and AI-driven tools to multinational and local organizations.
Growing demand in Korean market
The expansion follows increased interest in Cielo’s solutions from clients and prospects in South Korea over the past two years, according to Doug Terry, senior vice president of client services.
“Our ability to deliver via our new in-country teams allows us to help our clients navigate the unique challenges of hiring in the Korean market, combining global best practices with local market knowledge,” said Terry.
Regional growth strategy
The South Korea office is part of Cielo’s expansion across the Asia Pacific region, which includes offices in Tokyo and Shanghai, according to Sid Suhas, senior vice president.
“By establishing and expanding a local presence across key locations, we’re enhancing our ability to work closely with global and regional clients at a local level, delivering tailored talent acquisition solutions that address their specific needs,” said Suhas.
The expansion comes as both local and multinational companies in South Korea increasingly adopt RPO solutions to improve recruitment effectiveness and access skilled talent while managing regulatory requirements.
Cielo has experienced year-over-year growth across all products and services in the Asia Pacific region, according to the company.
