The importance of growing and hiring sustainably 

This past year has really proven the importance of growing sustainably. There has been a lot of press around large tech firms making significant redundancies lately. However, as far as we’re concerned, this feels like the recruitment market returning to normalcy and refocusing on profitability.  


Since the summer of 2021, the job market has been incredibly buoyant and, as a result, businesses have often over-hired and over-paid. The redundancies we’ve seen over the last few months are part of businesses correcting their hiring efforts rather than downsizing their teams. Recent events prove that organisations that hire sustainably and prudently will always come out on top in the long run.
