Not only do Cooplands innovate to meet the evolving tastes and needs of all consumers - they are also innovative in their recruitment!

Talentheads have been supporting Cooplands for the last 9 months as their strategic recruitment partner.

We have spent time with Cooplands implementing a new talent and resourcing strategy, supporting the growth of the business.

Working alongside their internal team with the recruitment of leadership roles, enabling the team to develop effective plans ensuring the recruitment of the right team.

Due to the rapid growth and high volume of roles Cooplands are recruiting we also developed and implemented an ATS system, allowing the internal recruitment team to manage the recruitment process. An ATS system supports the recruitment team as well as the candidate –offering a better experience and recruitment journey with Cooplands.

We challenged Cooplands to analyse their business processes in several areas to ensure that they achieved the right outcomes to support the company's future growth strategy.

The partnership delivers for Cooplands; we bring our expertise in supporting an ambitious business in their growth journey.
