Founded in 1987, Elan is the world’s leading IT&T recruitment and outsourcing company with a turnover of USD1.3 billion (EUR850 million) revenue in 2008. We operate from 58 locations in 17 countries and are part of the Manpower group of companies, the leader in the world of work. We cover a range of positions from help desk, programmers and telecoms to programme managers and IT directors.

We currently have 10,000 consultants on assignments, primarily with FTSE 500 clients and 3,000 IT professionals permanently placed. We provide both individual technical consultants, as well as large-scale outsource recruitment for our clients.

Elan has established specialist divisions focusing on the Public Services (1997), Health (2001), Defence (2003) and Outsourcing (Elan RTO, 2006) sectors where we tailor solutions to our clients in the most cost-effective way.

Our expertise within these specific divisions enables Elan to provide a service to both employer and job seekers that is unrivalled within the IT&T recruitment industry. Elan’s niche divisions demonstrate our commitment to recognising, understanding and delivering industry leading expertise and insight into specialised market places.

Elan is dedicated to being a responsible contributing member of society in all countries in which it operates, and beyond. Our business is in itself socially responsible, because everything we do is geared towards connecting people with jobs, which enables individuals to support themselves and their families.

We focus our resources primarily on where we have most impact - in creating a bridge to employment for individuals. We are also dedicated to increasing awareness of, and opposition to, labour practices that exploit individuals, particularly those that are vulnerable.

The professionalism and quality of service Elan provides has been recognised within the industry. Elan was recently voted into the top ten of Britain’s Top Employers 2008.
