Welcome back to a new episode of The Recruitment Round-Up with Toby and Nadia!

This week we shine a light on the current deficit of accessibility across the industry. With talent being central to the growth plans of many firms, ensuring you have the scope and mindset to see opportunity across a breadth of talent is critical.

Toby and Nadia stress the importance of evolving away from strict job specifications; and expanding horizons to see how you can better invest in and nurture promising talent.

At Harrington Starr, the team members we onboarded in 2021 come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Some bring a wealth of industry experience, and others are new to the role. But the complimentary nature of excellence and excitement has aided our growth beyond any expectations.

Join us for another industry-leading episode of the FinTech Focus podcast. This week, Toby is joined by the fascinating Ogo Ade, self-development coach for traders. 

During their conversation, the pair discuss the similarities between the trading world and elite sports– they're both highly pressurising environments which focus heavily on winning big. Ogo's background in both basketball and trading has given him a unique perspective on how individuals measure their success and how to cope with the unprecedented pressures their jobs may bring. 

Talking about emotional capital, self-reflection and how to analyse your performance as an entire journey (not just based on numbers), Ogo goes into detail about how important it is for each of us to prioritise these ideas in order to retain mental stability. 

If you're in the financial world and would like to know how you can enhance your performance through psychological means, visit Ogo's website: ogoade.com

The Covid-19 pandemic has created mental health challenges from isolation at all levels of society. Companies have faced a particular pressure, in continuing to perform, to support and to underpin economic activity, whilst supporting individual employees to cope with the demands of working from home.

In this webinar, we discuss with industry leaders how managers will be expected to support the mental health of staff returning to work, and the skills they must be equipped with to help navigate this tumultuous journey.

Our panel includes:

- Helen Disney, Director, The Realization Group
- Alicia Ariffin, Head of People and Culture, SteelEye
- Gemma Young, Head of Marketing, DASL
- Anna Zanghi, CEO & Co-Founder, Futur-o
- Dan Levy, VP Commercial and Communications, Smarkets
- Chloe Barrett, Health and Wellbeing Mentor, CLW

In conversation with Toby Babb of Harrington Starr, we will explore how the workplace may look post-lockdown as a sense of normality starts to return. Areas of discussion include:

- The need for flexibility when considering new working arrangements
- How to maintain the innovation and co-creation that was enabled by the sudden shift in work patterns
- How the pandemic will leave a legacy of greater focus on employee experience for generations to come
- The importance of improving people skills in the post-pandemic world

Happy New Year and welcome back to The Recruitment Round-Up with Toby and Nadia.

This time of year always calls for reflection and often a declaration of 'new year, new me'. But what if this approach actually hindered you?

Toby and Nadia focus on the importance of continuous, sustainable progress, and recognising the role it plays in creating change that transcends dates and years. 

We look at the progress Harrington Starr made in 2021. From how The 17% List has evidently shifted the needle, to the commitment our consultants have made to constantly evolving their habits and practices, progress has been embedded into the culture.

There is so much to look forward to in 2022, and we can't wait to take you on this exciting journey of progress across financial services and recruitment.

On this episode of The Fintech Focus Podcast, Toby is joined by Layla White, CEO and Founder of TechPassport.

TechPassport addresses a crucial flaw in our marketplace by simplifying and accelerating the onboarding process for suppliers. Layla's drive to resolve this issue with a comprehensive solution is evident throughout the fascinating founding journey- a journey Layla details with refreshing authenticity and exposure to her vulnerabilities.

We are too often exposed to the "glamorous" side of being a Founder, and typically only see the success stories. But Layla highlights that those success stories are built on turbulent experiences that are just as crucial to understand before starting a business venture.

Welcome back to a new episode of The Recruitment Round-Up with Toby and Nadia.

This weeks point of conversation is empowerment. With new Covid-19 restrictions, how we empower ourselves through turbulent times is crucially important.

With ongoing programmes organised by Harrington Starr around wellbeing and empowerment, accelerating yourself has never been more accessible.
