City tech firm takes on ten with eyes on the future
Global technology solutions provider Saggezza UK has bolstered its UK team by taking on 10 new graduates.
The Sunderland headquartered firm – which also has teams in London, Edinburgh, Leeds and Birmingham – has welcomed its latest cohort as part of its annual graduate recruitment initiative.
Since opening its first base in the UK in 2014, the company has grown to a team of 125 and is looking to surpass a headcount of 200 next year.
Central to this has been the expansion of its recruitment programme and the expansion of its Tech Track initiative – which aims to ensure all graduate hires receive the level of support required to hit the ground running while onboarding remotely.
John Wright, the firm’s talent acquisition manager, said: “We are delighted to welcome this year’s cohort of graduates to the company.
“Since opening our first UK office seven years ago, we’ve continued to invest in our graduate programme and year after year we’ve been blown away by the quality of hires it attracts.”
He added: “Alongside our planned recruitment drive for 2022, this is another major investment from our parent company Infostretch into our regional teams and it really shows their commitment to developing talent from across the UK.”
Each of the graduate hires will complete their induction training virtually before adopting either a hybrid or fully remote working arrangement, depending on their individual needs.
Samantha Beck joined the programme as an associate developer having completed a masters in computing at the University of Sunderland.
She said: “I realised that I could take the path I wanted by joining Saggezza’s graduate programme.
“After reading up on the company, I realised they weren’t just a local business, despite being based in Sunderland, but that they had clients and offices around the world.
"That means I have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and connect with people across the globe.
“I’m delighted to be here and am looking forward to seeing how my career develops from here on out.”
