Ignition Registered Integrator — Inductive Automation

Elpho is an Inductive Automation Ignition Registered Integrator — the controls and SCADA depth behind our engineering placements.

Why Elpho

Critical-facility hiring is unforgiving. We make it survivable.

The talent shortage is real — but the cost of an empty seat in a live data center is worse. We specialize in one thing so you don't have to gamble on generalist recruiters.

Pre-vetted, not just sourced

Every candidate is screened for hands-on critical-environment experience — power, cooling, controls — before they ever reach your inbox.

Specialists, end to end

We only staff data centers and mission-critical facilities. That focus means we speak your uptime SLAs and compliance needs fluently.

Built for speed

Contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent. We move at the pace your build-out or expansion actually demands.

Roles we place

From the loading dock to the white space.

If it keeps a facility running, we staff it.
