What Support Can Businesses Access from Tech Talent Engine?

Whether writing job adverts, securing candidates, or finding work, businesses face many difficulties in today’s climate.

With the added pressures of economic uncertainty and changing consumer expectations, it’s not surprising that 20% of businesses fail within the first year.

While success stories of innovative startups and national conglomerates often steal the limelight, the path to success is often faced with many obstacles and challenges.

So, how can businesses stand out from the crowd and capture the attention of potential candidates?

As an employer in the tech scene, growth is inevitable. However, finding talented candidates that tick all the boxes can be a challenge.

If you’re an employer in the North East that is looking to upscale your business and further promote your brand, Tech Talent Engine can help you gain insights into the region’s fast-moving tech sector and position yourself as an employer of choice.

Whether it’s interview techniques, upskilling and training or re-writing adverts, our team of experts are carefully positioned to help you reach your target audience and achieve success.

Even better, any business in the North East can publish their jobs for free on our website at no cost.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we often get asked about the purpose behind Tech Talent Engine. Simply put, we just want to support the sustainable growth of the tech sector in the North East and allow our region to continue to act as a magnet for talent.

So far, we’ve had support from North of Tyne Combined Authority, our sponsors and the many businesses and users that are already using Tech Talent Engine.

To allow Tech Talent Engine to achieve its overarching mission, we are seeking collaboration and sponsorship from regional partners.

Supporting us also comes with its own array of benefits, including:

• Corporate social responsibility – be a part of the story of the North East and use your position to help others.
• Promotion – we’ll help you become recognised within the region and provide your name on all our marketing materials.
• Thought leadership – you’ll be invited to offer your views on the programme and get the first pick of events opportunities.
• Mentoring and training – access free mentorship training.
• Business support – receive additional bespoke support, including help writing adverts, job descriptions and interviewing.

Our mission is part of the wider North of Tyne Combined Authority pledge – to continue to support the sustainable growth of the North East. This is why we are continuing to support any local business of any size in the North East.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a sponsor to access help from us. In fact, we have an open-door policy, which means we are happy to have a call with anyone, regardless of your query.

Whether you simply want to find out more about us, what we do, sponsorship and funding, we would be happy to help in any way that we can.
