What Eklego does

Eklego Workforce Solutions is a private, founder-led workforce solutions firm headquartered in Rochester, New York, that helps healthcare and senior care organizations recruit, retain, and develop clinical and leadership talent. The company serves assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, skilled nursing facilities, and senior living providers — with a notable concentration among nonprofit, mission-driven operators — and packages its services across five integrated lines: Workforce Consulting (infrastructure optimization), a three-tier Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) offering (FlexRPO for minimum five direct-hire clinical openings, ProjectRPO for project-based hiring lifts, and BrandedRPO for full outsourced recruitment infrastructure), Professional & Clinical Search for executive and hard-to-fill nursing roles, direct-hire Healthcare Staffing for CNAs, LPNs, and RNs, and Leadership Development anchored by John Maxwell and Jon Gordon certified coaching combined with DISC assessments. Eklego operates without a proprietary technology platform; its competitive differentiation rests on domain specialization in senior care, certified coaching talent, documented recruiting playbooks (e.g., Job Fit methodology measuring skill, will, thrill, and culture), and outcome-tracked engagement models that produce measurable metrics such as 70% interview-to-offer ratios and 50–94% vacancy reductions across named client engagements.

The firm generates revenue through professional-services engagements priced on a quote basis and tailored to each client's scope, with revenue streams spanning consulting fees, RPO retainers, direct-hire placement fees, and leadership training workshops delivered in-person or virtually. Distribution is entirely direct: consultative, sales-led engagements initiated via the company website, a toll-free contact line (866-279-9170), and relationship-based outreach, with no resellers or marketplace channels in use. Geographic reach is concentrated in the United States, spanning the Northeast (Pennsylvania five-campus provider), Southeast (Glenaire in Cary, NC), and Midwest (McGregor in Cleveland, OH), with no disclosed international footprint, parent company, or institutional ownership.
