Eclaro

What Eclaro does

Eclaro is a privately held, founder-owned staffing and talent solutions firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in New York, NY, with additional Canadian headquarters in Saint John, New Brunswick, and three Global Services Delivery Centers in Metro Manila, Philippines. The company recruits, hires, and manages talent on behalf of clients ranging from Fortune 50 enterprises to startups, organized horizontally across eleven industries including Information Technology, Financial Services, Insurance, Business Operations, Life Sciences, Healthcare, Banking, Energy/Power/Renewables, Government & Public Sector, Engineering & Architecture, and Consumer Products.

The company's core service portfolio comprises three lines: Custom Outsourcing & Offshoring under the ECAPTIVE model, which provides dedicated, non-shared offshore teams in the Philippines that function as permanent extensions of client technical staff; Direct Placement Solutions, including executive and retained search for full-time hires; and Strategic Staffing & Consulting for project-based hiring. Supporting offerings include ECLARO Academy for talent training and the Hire Up Blog for content marketing. The underlying platform asset is a proprietary candidate database of more than 12 million candidates, sourced continuously over 25+ years, which is the principal enabler of the firm's sourcing capability. Eclaro is ISO 27001 certified and operates as an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Eclaro makes money through customized, quote-based engagements across the three service lines, with the ECAPTIVE model typically structured as multi-year managed-services contracts that bundle facilities, equipment, HR services, and ongoing management support around dedicated offshore teams. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise account management with self-serve candidate acquisition portals for the US/Canada and Philippines markets. The company discloses no external funding, no institutional investors, and no revenue, and is led by Co-Founders Tom Sheridan and Paul Sheridan alongside Vice President of Talent Acquisition & Development Ray Pereira.
