  Our goal is to put planning and career growth at the heart of In-House Talent Acquisition. We are experts at working with in fast scaling, venture backed technology driven business’s in Europe and US. My Story...... Talent Point was first incepted as First Point, a niche contingency recruitment agency. After 8 years working for an ethical recruitment business (“Recruitment? Ethical?”, I hear you question!), I realised that contingency recruitment is a cut-throat environment. In contingency recruitment, sales drives everything - even pitting colleague against colleague. I enjoyed my role and it made sense to do it, but the stigma of the industry and constant mistrust made me question whether it was viable as a long-term career, or simply a ‘quick-fix’ money-making opportunity. However, I fell on my feet when I engaged with asos.com as a customer. I frequently spent 3 days per week onsite and truly became part of the team, both in and out of the office. This meant I could authentically deliver a service I could never have imagined as I worked within the team and knew their business structure and technology needs inside out, as well as understanding each individual team culturally. It quickly became the norm for me to expect this depth of relationship with each and every customer, as well as expecting every member of our team to understand technology hiring in context by focusing on the business, technology and people aspect of each tool, product, platform or even job role. We honed and constantly evolved this approach, formally creating Talent Point in 2014. What we do: Flexible, On-demand, In-House Talent Acquisition including Centres of Excellence in Central and Eastern Europe. Our 3 Pillars: • Hiring & Retention • People & Culture • Employer Branding Show less
