Join Talent <> Snappy Shopper: a 1st generation Talent Acquisition model

Snappy Shopper, a Scottish retail start-up born during the COVID era, partnered with Join Talent to enable its talent acquisition function from the ground up. With no internal TA team and ambitious growth goals, they needed more than recruiters – they needed strategic builders.

Results.

Snappy Shopper now operates with a mature, insight-led talent function. Our embedded team elevated Snappy Shoppers hiring capability, delivering consistent quality and measurable business outcomes. Two years on, Join Talent continues to deliver recruitment company-wide, supporting scale-up success with agility and impact.
