Hiring-Hub looks to double in size
ONLINE recruitment portal Hiring-Hub has taken the first step towards more than doubling in size this year.
The Manchester company raised £465,000 last autumn in a crowdfunding campaign and plans to grow from 11 to 30 staff this year.
The first wave of new staff have already been hired with six recruits already going through a five-day induction and training bootcamp.
Hiring-Hub’s online platform makes it easy for companies to find and work with third-party recruitment agencies. It customers include household names such as Morrisons and LateRooms.
The newcomers will bolster the company’s direct sales, marketing and software development functions.
Simon Swan, director and co-founder of Hiring-Hub said: “We ended 2014 on a good note and have started the New Year in equally high spirits.
“It’s an important year for us as we look to build the UK’s most powerful online recruitment platform, and introduce more companies to our unique marketplace model.”
Hiring-Hub is a former winner in the Innovator at the North West Business Masters awards run by The BusinessDesk.com. A shortlist for the 2015 awards, to be announced in Manchester on March 12, will be announced next week.
