North East-based recruitment firm Talentheads has started the year with a move to larger premises, following a boost in staff numbers and a 60 per cent growth in turnover.
Talentheads, which was set up by Sam Spoors in 2020, has moved to a larger office in Morpeth, Northumberland, to house its growing team, having taken on six new members of staff in the past 12 months.
Lauren Bell and Camille Colligan have been taken on as talent engagement advisors, Alison Jobson, Rose Heppell and Grace Oliver joined as talent partners, and Judith Armatage was hired as a development partner.
Sam said: “We are committed to growth and therefore knew we needed a bigger office space to facilitate that expansion for our teams and our clients.
“We wanted to remain in the North East, as we are so proud of our roots and the location has great links to the A1.”
Talentheads offers businesses a different approach to recruitment by absorbing itself into companies as the internal recruitment, talent and resourcing teams and works with business owners on long-term, sustainable strategies to help them take control of the recruitment process.
Sam added: “Our new team members bring a wealth of experience and talent, and I can’t wait to see how we all work together to continue the Talentheads journey.
“Last year was so successful for the brand. Aside from the new offices, we also marked our highest monthly revenue, started work with some exciting new clients and made the shortlists for some amazing awards, including the NE Business Awards for High Growth and Ambition and LiveWire Global Awards for Most Innovative Recruitment Business – UK.”
As well as boosting the team, Talentheads has also invested in video technology that allows the team to engage with clients and the talent they are looking to recruit with a real face to support their brand.
The investment in the technology was supported by funding from NBSL, which is part of the European Regional Development Fund.
Sam said: “People buy from people so we have invested in being seen so business owners, hiring managers and candidates can identify, engage and work with people – rather than emails.”
