Sunderland Software City and our partners, which include recruitment expert Talentheads, possess a wealth of knowledge surrounding business growth and talent acquisition. We work with businesses to provide bespoke support, culminating in the delivery of a comprehensive talent acquisition strategy aligned to each business; helping to recruit, retain and scale with ease.

Our support includes (but is not limited to): employer branding, building employee value propositions, in-house training, talent searching and refining job assessment processes.

The overall project is funded via the European Regional Development Fund, so there are stringent compliance procedures we must follow throughout the process.

To access support, businesses must:

·      Be classified as an SME and employ less than 250 members of staff

·      Be private sector

·      Have received less than €200,00 in De Minimis funding in the last three years

·      Have a trading arm or generate income

·      Be registered (and operating and trading) in Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, North Tyneside, Northumberland or County Durham
