Bespoke Training Workshops
We Deliver Workshops, Too!
Hosted live, as a hybrid event in person and digitally, our retrofit workshops are available to be delivered to start-ups, programmes, accelerators, groups and students.
Whether you're a small team who want to know how to build a hiring strategy and want to know how to "Hire Yourself" or you're a bigger team who want to know "How To Get The Best Out of a Recruiter", we have just the workshops for you.
You might even have faced the difficult decision to make some of your team redundant, but want to help them by providing a 'Careers Workshop'.
"Closing down our Cambridge Operations was not a decision that came easily to us. Bringing in Jen to help our current team revamp their CVs, Linkedin profiles and signpost them to some suitable opportunities was so valuable. The insights and advice Jen was able to pass on helped so many of the team in the next steps of their careers."
We've also led careers workshops for students aged 11 - 18 both in person and digitally.
Hire Right, First Time
We were invited by the prestigious Impulse Programme to host a workshop for Impulse Alumni and associates.
We delivered a 90-minute workshop on: “How To Build & Grow A Team”
"With over a decade of recruitment experience in Cambridge’s Scientific and High-Tech sectors, Jen Richardson has supported organisations ranging from early-stage start-ups to global enterprises. She brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for connecting people, offering practical hiring advice, and championing sustainability, environmental awareness, and inclusivity within the Cambridge ecosystem".
In 13 years' of recruitment experience, locally, we've seen businesses make costly hiring mistakes, get ripped-off by extortionate agency recruiter rates and then need to spend more money and time putting things right. Just at a time when you want to channel your energy into crucial projects and growth.
We know that start-up life is incredibly tough and every penny counts. This is why we want to save you money and precious time by:
1) Showing you how to streamline your in-house hiring processes so you get things right first time.
2) Demonstrating how to squeeze the most out of your recruitment budget and get the most competitive deals with decent, ethical, trusted recruitment specialists who will give you more for your money and not screw you over.
3) Being that 'helpline' or 'sounding board' when you're stuck and unsure 'what happens next'! It's all part of the aftercare....
