At Talentheads, we’re proud to partner with organisations across a wide range of sectors, from manufacturing and tech to charities and professional services. No matter the industry, one thing always stays the same: when businesses hire the right people, they don’t just grow stronger teams – they create jobs, opportunities and lasting impact in their communities.
Take our recent partnership with Gateshead College, a leading provider of further education in the North-East. As the summer term came to a close, they faced a significant recruitment challenge: filling a wide range of roles across departments and sites before the new academic year began. It wasn’t just about volume – it was about attracting the right candidates to the right roles, quickly, and with the right messaging.
Talentheads stepped in as a dedicated extension of the Gateshead College HR team – working side by side to deliver a seamless, people-first recruitment process. Across their four sites in Gateshead and Team Valley, we supported everything from strategy to execution, providing talent expertise and guidance every step of the way.
We conducted detailed salary benchmarking research, crafted job descriptions and adverts aligned with their values, and promoted all 12 roles ranging from Head of Facilities and People Business Partner to niche teaching and learning support positions. Our multi-channel approach saw roles shared across social platforms, job boards, and local community networks, designed to reach diverse audiences and maximise applications.
With a clear focus on collaboration and results, our partnership ensured that Gateshead College was ready to welcome a strong team of new hires ahead of a critical academic period.
Our summer collaboration with Gateshead College delivered impact exactly where it was needed. Roles were filled efficiently, candidate quality improved, and the HR team were equipped with the insight, tools and support to continue building a strong talent foundation. Together, we turned a high-pressure recruitment period into an opportunity to attract exceptional people and reinforce the College’s position as a brilliant place to work.
For us, this is what recruitment reimagined really means. It’s not just about helping businesses grow today – it’s about creating the kind of workplaces that will still be thriving and supporting communities tomorrow.
At Talentheads, we’re proud to play a part in that bigger picture. Because when we say recruitment is about people, purpose and performance – we mean it.
