Ajilon Consulting

What Ajilon Consulting does

Ajilon Consulting was a US-focused leader in temporary and permanent recruitment, specializing in the placement of professional talent across multiple disciplines. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, the firm built its reputation as a staffing partner connecting candidates with employers in the US market. Ajilon operated with an employee base in the 501–1,000 range, consistent with a mid-sized professional staffing firm operating through direct enterprise and mid-market sales channels.

Ajilon has been acquired and now exists as a legacy brand under LHH (Lee Hecht Harrison), a global talent solutions subsidiary of The Adecco Group. Its recruitment capability has been integrated into LHH Recruitment Solutions, alongside other heritage brands including Accounting Principals, Special Counsel, Paladin, and Parker + Lynch. The unified LHH platform offers five core service lines — Recruitment Solutions, Leadership Development and Coaching, Outplacement, Career Mobility, and Executive Solutions — serving Fortune 500 enterprises and thousands of additional organizations globally. The platform is supported by proprietary people analytics drawing on millions of data points gathered annually, and reaches clients through direct enterprise sales with US-specific market expertise backed by The Adecco Group's global infrastructure.

The underlying business model is services-based: Ajilon/LHH generates revenue through fees on temporary placements, permanent placement commissions, outplacement engagements, leadership development programs, career mobility solutions, and executive search mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise and mid-market sales, supplemented by content marketing and dedicated client/candidate portals. The company serves two principal customer types — organizations (enterprise and mid-market) seeking talent solutions and individuals/professionals seeking career support — with executives as a secondary segment for executive search services.
