Pioneering Inclusive Hiring: Bridge of Hope Careers Joins nGAGE Talent
We are thrilled to announce our latest acquisition, Bridge of Hope Careers, as a new addition to the nGAGE Talent family. Bridge of Hope Careers is a pioneering business with a steadfast commitment to inclusive hiring. Their mission is to empower marginalised individuals, including returning mothers, older workers, ex-offenders, and others facing disadvantages, by connecting them with meaningful employment opportunities.
Bridge of Hope achieves this through a dual-pronged approach: an innovative job board and a consultancy service that supports a diverse range of clients, including blue-chip end users, recruitment agencies, and RPOs. By leveraging their unique expertise, they bridge the gap between employers and overlooked talent, creating opportunities that lead to positive change.
The exceptional team behind Bridge of Hope has already demonstrated remarkable success, boasting a roster of 58 blue-chip inclusive employers who have embraced their enhanced social value proposition. To propel the business to even greater heights, nGAGE Talent has made a strategic investment in Bridge of Hope, becoming majority owners. This infusion of capital will be instrumental in driving candidate acquisition, technological advancements, and the effective marketing of Bridge of Hope's services.
This strategic investment will not only empower our employer partners to access comprehensive inclusive hiring solutions but also foster stronger relationships with referring partners. Additionally, it will enhance the experience and services we provide to our valued candidates, ensuring they receive the highest level of support.
Tim Cook, CEO of nGAGE Talent, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Our investment in Bridge of Hope is a testament to our shared dedication to Social Value. Together, we aim to catalyse tangible change in the Recruitment and Talent landscape, offering genuine solutions to our clients."
