3Search are partnering with Beam

At 3Search, we're dedicated to ensuring that top companies find the best talent for their digital marketing jobs, but we also want to play a part in supporting people with far more barriers to overcome. This is why we have decided to partner with Beam.

Our digital marketing recruitment director, Michael Judkins, was inspired by Alex Stephany and his story to start Beam in 2020. A year that has seen many people struggle and find themselves homeless as a result of the pandemic. We felt that it was a great cause to support, tying nicely into the work that we do as a recruitment agency on a daily basis.

As a growing business, we believe we have a responsibility to give back to the community and help those less able. We want to make recruitment more sustainable and through our work, we believe this is a great opportunity to do so.

What does Beam do?

Currently operating in London and Greater Manchester, Beam is the world’s first platform that crowdfunds training for homeless people and supports them into stable work.

The platform successfully crowdfunds new career opportunities and provides them with a support network made up of support specialists and kind strangers who fund their campaigns.

Each person on Beam is referred to them by an established homeless charity or their local council. They give them a dedicated support specialist - a Beam employee who supports them all the way into their new career!

The support specialists first conduct basic security checks to make sure the referred person is mentally and physically ready to enter full-time employment. After that, they help each person develop a tailored career plan, building on their unique strengths and interests.

So far, they have helped over 200 people regain their independence.

Beam believes in the power of collaboration. Solving a problem as big and complex and homelessness requires us all to work together. That means government, central and local.
