Venn Achieves Record-Breaking Growth in 2022

What a year it’s been!

2022 has been a year of growth. As the demand for the Vennture platform has boomed, we’ve welcomed new team members, new clients and new digital partners, expanding further into the recruitment industry.

Off the back of this year’s successful Vennture platform launch, we’ve had a record-breaking 12 months, doubling the size of the business, resulting in a 100% increase in growth.

“I’m delighted we now have a clear focus on MarTech solutions for the recruitment and careers industry, and I’m confident that we will surpass our revenue target in 2023.” - Brian Whigham, Founder of Venn.

Meet our new team members

To meet the growing demand from our new clients, we’ve been busy investing in new talent and restructuring our team to provide the best possible service. Here are all the people that joined us in 2022. 

This year we've received incredible feedback on our Vennture platform and full-service approach. To ensure we've got the resources needed to deliver websites, campaigns and support for our growing client base, we've expanded our team. More people means we need more space, and we’re thrilled to announce that we will be opening up a new tech HQ in Alderley Park.

“Looking ahead, we’ve budgeted for 30 new team members in 2023 already to increase our capacity in line with the growing number of clients.” - Rhys Jones, Operations Director at Venn.

Some of our favourite projects

We’ve grown exponentially this year, onboarding over 30 new clients and launching 27 websites. We’ve supported agencies large and small, designing industry-leading websites and revenue-generating campaigns. Some of our stand-out projects include:

Pareto

Pareto are market leaders in transformation & growth. They assess, place and train the best talent through apprenticeships and graduate schemes to deliver the best sales leaders. We’ve worked with the Pareto team for over ten years, but 2022 brought us a new digital challenge. The brand wanted to retain its position as a market-leading graduate recruitment agency but also attract diverse learners from various backgrounds through its apprenticeship programmes. We needed to update the existing website so that the look and feel could appeal to graduates at a candidate level whilst demonstrating the expertise that prospective clients desire.

How we helped

• A separate dedicated website for candidates, optimised for talent acquisition.

• Updated corporate website architecture to allow for service expansion.

• Bespoke candidate and client attraction campaigns incorporating video content.

Evolution of the Vennture platform

This year has been all about stability and accountability; our product team have been hard at work optimising the Vennture platform for users now and in the future. As always, flexibility and user experience have been our top priorities, which is why we’ve continued to dedicate our attention to your requirements as part of our roadmap.

As we head into the new year, we’re looking at new ways to improve the platform, working closely with our community to identify new features and functionality that will enhance the experiences for customers, candidates and clients.

We aim for transparency and encourage all Vennture users to submit feedback and ideas to our team. Hosting regular community events such as the Recruitment Marketing Collective, we’re doing everything we can to listen and support clients and non-clients, sharing knowledge to help recruitment agencies do more with digital.

Looking back on this year, I’m incredibly proud of the team and all the hard work that went into the platform, processes and products to help us take another step closer to becoming the market-leading recruitment and careers website provider.” - Brian Whigham, Founder of Venn.
