What Cider does

Cider S.A. is an Argentine professional services corporation headquartered at Pichincha 364, 4to D, in Buenos Aires. Founded in the early 1990s under the name Centro Integral de Recursos and later operating as Cider, the company delivers an integrated service portfolio across three lines: Human Capital (talent search and selection, staff outsourcing, payroll processing, training programs, personnel administration, psychotechnical assessments, and labor law advisory), Marketing and Communication (communication strategy design, social media management, corporate branding, content production, and media planning), and IT Support (managed service provider offering covering technical support, infrastructure administration, security, automation, and 24/7 monitoring with scheduled on-site visits). The company serves enterprises and multinational corporations across industries including consulting, telecommunications, IT services, retail, manufacturing, and consumer goods, with publicly named clients such as Accenture, Alcatel, Carrefour, CenturyLink, Cirion Technologies, DXC Technology, Everis, HP, HP Enterprise, Lexmarc, Lumen Technologies, Nokia, NTT Data, Pelikan, Ternium, Unilever, and Xerox.

The company's technical footprint centers on a proprietary job portal (Plataforma de Búsqueda) backed by an internal candidate database, complemented by psychodiagnostic assessment batteries (Evaluaciones Psicotécnicas), payroll processing software (Software de Liquidación) compatible with major market payroll systems, customized training programs (Programas de Capacitación), and organizational diagnostic instruments (Diagnósticos Organizacionales). The IT managed service is sold through tiered monthly subscription plans (Esencial with 1 weekly visit and no cloud or 24/7 coverage; Profesional adding 24/7 monitoring and a second weekly visit; Elite adding cloud backups, a fourth weekly visit, and full server and network administration). The website also functions as the candidate-acquisition funnel, allowing self-registration and CV submission, with WhatsApp and email supporting direct client and applicant communication.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (project-based recruitment, HR outsourcing, marketing engagements, and consulting) and tiered monthly subscriptions for IT support, with HR and recruitment pricing quoted on a project basis and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B, relying on direct outreach to enterprise accounts, the public website as a brand and lead-generation asset, WhatsApp for bottom-of-funnel communications, and email for candidate and client updates. Cider S.A. is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing, and operates as a single-country entity within the boundaries of Argentine data protection law (Ley N° 25.326).
