“Ambitious” Morpeth recruitment specialist expands into new town centre office

A Morpeth home-grown organisation specialising in talent and recruitment has taken its next big step towards “ambitious” plans to double employment numbers within the next three years.

Talentheads has taken a first-floor space within Austin House at Morpeth’s Sanderson Arcade. Founder and director, Sam Spoors, has brought her team of nine to the new offices where they will continue their collaborative work with local, national and international clients to ensure they recruit and retain the right teams to grow their business.

Sam commented: “We are not a recruitment firm that focuses on purely filling jobs with CVs we share with as many businesses as possible. What makes us stand out is our collaborative, partnership and long-term approach to acquiring talent which is based on current and future talent pools required by the business we support.

“We work at an internal level with the company from identifying the talent gap, designing the role available to fit the business needs and values, advertising that role, screening applications, interviewing for the position and offering the role to that individual carrying out all necessary reference checks.

“Our approach has always seen great results leading to our organisation becoming part of the company’s trusted brand. We are constantly listening to the market to understand how businesses can grow and sourcing the right talent to help them do that.”

Talentheads works with a range of businesses varying in size and industry. The team is now looking ahead to expanding its services into development and skills allowing businesses to access upskilling training sessions.

The firm was started up three years ago from Sam’s own home. She needed an office space and moved on to the Morpeth High Street where she had a third floor base at Watson House for just over a year. With over 20 years of experience in the recruitment and HR industry Sam has quickly grown her own pool of talent to support their ever-growing client base.

Sam continued: “People had the chance to stop during the COVID-19 pandemic and are now looking for employment within a company which matches their personal values. In some cases, people have relocated to be closer to family or wish to work flexibly to carry out childcare or support elderly relatives.

“People know their worth and are no longer chasing a salary which is why the foundation work we do with organisations to create their offering to new and existing talent is so important.”

Centre manager for Sanderson Arcade, Lottie Thompson, added: “We are delighted to see another Morpeth business grow their business here at the Arcade. We wish Sam and the team every success with their plans.”
