Sunderland tech firm announces plans to double workforce with 60 new hires

A North East tech firm has announced that it plans to double its workforce by continuing recruitment via online platforms.

Saggezza, a technology and consulting partner based in Sunderland, has reported that it is planning to add 60 new employees to its workforce, bringing its total to 120.

The company is conducting interviews by video conference where possible, as part of its ongoing expansion plans.

Lucy Harber, head of HR and operations at Saggezza, commented: “We are fortunate that the nature of what we do enables us to work just as well remotely as we do from the office, so we have been able to operate successfully during lockdown, with minimal impact on the business.

“So far, the company continues to grow and we are actively recruiting new people to join the team.

“We’re excited that we continue to create new opportunities and hope this will give people who might have been impacted the chance to embark on a new career with us.

“We know it has been an immensely challenging time for many.”

“In less than six years, we have seen remarkable growth, and our team has grown in size and skill during that time too.

“We’re a business that is constantly adapting and improving, and I think that is reflected in our approach during this pandemic.

“We’ve quickly adjusted to ensure that we’re able to carry on with business, and we plan to emerge from this crisis on the front foot – and, hopefully, with some talented new team members to help drive our future growth.”
