Office Angels

What Office Angels does

Office Angels Limited is a UK-based recruitment consultancy founded in London in 1986, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adecco Group AG (the world's largest HR services provider, listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange). The firm specializes in placing candidates into office-based roles — including administration, secretarial, accountancy, finance, legal, IT, HR, marketing, sales, customer service, hospitality, and construction — through a combination of temporary staffing, contract-to-hire, and permanent placement services. It runs 16 branch offices across the UK complemented by remote-based consultants, and serves both individual job seekers and employer clients with a hybrid in-person/online service model.

The company's core technology stack comprises an online job board, a candidate self-service portal, and two AI-powered features: the Adecco Agent generative-AI chatbot (built on OpenAI's LLM with a TrustLayer for personal data masking) that supports candidate screening and role Q&A, and the One Transcript feature (combining Microsoft Azure Speech-to-Text with Salesforce Einstein AI summarization) that transcribes recruiter-candidate calls in real time and auto-updates candidate profiles. A semantic NLP-based job recommendation engine rounds out the feature set. All AI outputs are reviewed by human recruiters before any placement decision.

Office Angels generates revenue from two streams: permanent placement fees charged to employers upon successful candidate placement (fee amounts not publicly disclosed, structured as a percentage of candidate salary), and temporary/contract staffing billings charged to employers at hourly rates ranging from approximately £12.71 to £18.00 for administrative and support roles. Distribution is via direct sales through the 16-branch UK network plus self-serve applications through the website portal and candidate portal, supported by content marketing, organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube), and a £100-voucher refer-a-friend programme.
