A tech recruiter in Yorkshire is creating jobs with the opening of a second base in the heart of Newcastle’s science hub.
Talent partner and advisory specialist SPG Resourcing has seen significant growth since launching in Leeds a year ago, triggering plans to expand into the North East. The firm, which has totted up turnover of £2.3m in its first 12 months, is opening its new office in The Core at Newcastle Helix this month, to meet demand in the region and support the growth of the SPG Group.
The group, which includes SPG Transformation and SPG Software, is a fast-growing tech business with solutions that span people, digital transformation and specialist software. The regional expansion will create 10 jobs over the next 12 months, with the newest recruits adding to the five-strong team already in place at its Leeds office, with plans to create another seven Leeds based roles over the next year too.

Since its inception in 2021, SPG Resourcing has placed more than 75 candidates across the financial services, public sector, health and property management spaces globally and has client wins including the likes of the NHS, Capita, Huddl and First Group.
Having already moved three times to accommodate rapid growth, the company has also moved its Leeds team to new premises in Wellington Place, which is the new technology hub for Leeds.
SPG Resourcing is also working closely with its local communities through initiatives and charities, including donations to The Clothing Bank, taking part in the CEO Sleepout and supporting the Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards.
Sam Hameed, co-founder and managing director of SPG Resourcing, said: “It’s a really exciting time for our team as we have big plans for our resourcing business, with an aim to reach a £7.5m turnover in the next 12 months. With ‘be the change’ at the forefront of our company values, our business is built on the ethos that tech can only create real impact when the right people are behind it. What makes us different to other resourcing partners is our technical interview panel, we’d only put candidates in front of our clients if we’d hire them for our own technical team and we only take A players.
“Our expansion into the North East not only demonstrates our commitment to growth and our fantastic clients, but also to our amazing people, which is why we are putting training and development at the heart of our internal talent strategy too. New training programmes and career development plans have been implemented right across the business to accommodate future growth and drive best industry practice. We look for people who want to be the change-makers in an organisation and we are excited to help our clients continue to find the best talent in the UK and globally.”
