cinch partners with Talent Works to expand Manchester tech hub as online car sales accelerate

cinch, the online car marketplace and one of the UK’s most exciting new tech businesses, has today announced its recruitment partnership with Talent Works, to greatly expand its Manchester-based tech hub and support its continued growth in 2021 and beyond.

cinch aims to take the faff out of buying and owning a used car. Operated by the Constellation Automotive Group, cinch has quickly established itself as a leader for online used car purchases in the UK, offering a new, motorist-friendly way to search for and buy a quality-checked vehicle.

The last year has seen digital car sales soar in popularity and as a result, cinch is expanding its Manchester-based tech and product teams. Creating more than 100 new jobs in the coming year alone affirms cinch’s long-term commitment to Manchester and the city’s status as a UK tech hub.

cinch asked Talent Works to lead the delivery of their Product and Engineering recruitment. Talent Works will embed its talent acquisition capabilities into cinch’s existing infrastructure to support hiring the UK’s best tech talent. Talent Works will also support cinch with employer brand and digital talent acquisition projects.

In the immediate term, Talent Works will aid hiring for a number of complex roles in tech, product, UX, UI, engineering and infrastructure. Talent Works’ experience in the tech sector combined with its unique, agile approach to recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), will see them support cinch in not only hiring at scale, but amplifying its employer brand and building its profile across an exciting Manchester tech scene.

Jaz Chana, Technology Director, cinch said: “Workplaces and ways of working have seen much change in the past year. Our people have adapted incredibly well right across our business and kept their collective foot down on our accelerated growth plans. Now we’re in the enviable position of attracting more of the market’s best tech talent to exciting new opportunities in our burgeoning Manchester tech hub.
