Perlego's ambition is to become the world’s online learning library, a single place where learners can instantly access all of the world’s academic content for less than the price of a single book. Perlego is on a mission to make learning accessible to all.


In the last 18 months they’ve grown their headcount from 35 to 95 people, and Welcome to the Jungle has played a part in this, helping Perlego to hire roles across the board, from a Senior Software Engineer to Product Designers and a Regional Lead.


“We've made numerous business-critical roles using the platform since the beginning of the year.


The additional services like boosted jobs and advanced insights made it a no-brainer for us.”

One of the areas that stood out to Perlego was the advanced insights Welcome to the Jungle provides. We helped provide data so Perlego could do a comprehensive internal salary review, and the data we provide now enables Perlego to post new roles with confidence that the salary they’re offering is competitive, and they will attract great candidates.


“Welcome to the Jungle is my number one tool as soon as we begin thinking about the hiring of a new position. The salary insights help shape decisions from thousands of data points, way before the job description even goes live.


This ensures we're in line with market expectations and providing the most competitive offer we're able to as a business.”

Another benefit Perlego called out is the efficiency of the sourcing tool. Because of Welcome to the Jungle candidate-first focus and our laser-focus on jobs, we attract high quality candidates and we know who is active in the market, which means the response rates on Welcome to the Jungle are best-in-class.


“The calibre of candidates we're able to source on Welcome to the Jungle and their responsiveness makes Welcome to the Jungle a dream to use!


Since we've introduced flexible working & Visa support at Perlego, we've been able to attract top talent from Hong Kong, South Africa and Argentina.”

Chiara Ettl was hired as a Region Lead (DACH & Northern Europe) at Perlego after being messaged through Welcome to the Jungle sourcing tool, and found her new job in record time! Chiara loved the feeling of being in control of her job search.


“I was using Welcome to the Jungle for literally just 1 day before I found this role! The team reached out to me the day I signed up.


It was really quick, and I felt like I was in control of my job search, not leaving it to the mercy of random agency recruiters calling me when I was at work, who promised the world and rarely delivered.”

“I have always had the sense from day one that I will be supported and encouraged in my career at Perlego. The growth possibilities seem endless at the moment.


The calibre of the companies wanting to work with us is super exciting. Lots of people want to work with us to truly democratise education.”
