Apollo Solutions, Inc

What Apollo Solutions, Inc does

Apollo Solutions, Inc (legally Apollo Solutions Ltd) is a UK-headquartered specialist recruitment consultancy founded in 2008 by Siba Oyetey, operating from London with regional offices in New York and Amsterdam and additional consultant coverage in Benelux. The firm operates as an employment agency under The Employment Agencies Act 1973 and is registered in England as a private limited company (Company No. 06454181). Its offering is organised along two vertical specialisations: Corporate Governance (Audit, Risk, Compliance, Valuations, Forensic Accounting) and Technology (Software Development, DevOps, Data & AI), each delivered through two service lines — permanent placement and contract/freelance placement.

The underlying technology is Bullhorn CRM, used for candidate and client management; the firm does not operate a proprietary software platform. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with dedicated specialist consultants assigned to sub-disciplines and managing the full engagement lifecycle from qualification through placement and onboarding. Marketing is executed through content (industry blog, webinars), a LinkedIn newsletter ("Behind the Controls"), SEO/website lead capture and a referral programme offering a £200 voucher.

Revenue is generated through negotiation-based placement fees (typical of professional recruitment services) on both permanent and contract/freelance hires across UK, US and European markets. The customer base skews to enterprise across Financial Services, Technology, Consulting, FMCG and Commodities/Trading, with named logos including Lloyds Banking Group, Deutsche Bank, ING, ABN AMRO, Sky, Coca-Cola, LSEG and BNP Paribas. The firm is founder-led and privately held with no institutional funding rounds disclosed.
