Our people are impressive,

but great skills without equally outstanding tools will not produce the best results.

As a result, Join Talent leads the Project RPO sector in terms of a tooling investment. Through partnerships with market-leading tools, acquisition of partial ownership in key platforms, and the development of our own bespoke tooling, has resulted in an investment of over £1.25m in technology so far, with a further £800k aligned to the 22/23 roadmap.
