If you have engaged with a recruitment agency partner in recent years, there is a strong possibility that you will have encountered either NRG (Northern Recruitment Group) or Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) business Greenbean. Leanne Chambers was recently appointed as Managing Director of both businesses in a move to enhance their full-service recruitment solutions across the UK.
Headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, these two distinguished recruitment firms collectively bring over 40 years of industry expertise to the table. Their proficiency extends over a broad range of sectors such as Corporate Services, Tech & Digital, and Engineering, Manufacturing, & Technical (EMT). NRG also boasts a skilled Executive Search and Selection team, adept at filling senior, executive, and non-executive roles; whilst Greenbean has the insight, scalability, and capability of a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) business to manage high-volume and project-based recruitment solutions.
The combined insight and expertise of both businesses distinguish themselves in the marketplace by offering a fullservice solution for talent acquisition, and the recruitment partner of choice.
Leanne has been with NRG for almost 20 years, the last six of which as the driving force behind Greenbean. During this time, she has led the team to successfully deliver large-scale and project recruitment solutions to clients across the UK, working in partnership with brands such as NewDay, Worldpay, Santander, Tesco Bank, Ocado, and the startup of the UK’s 1st digital-only bank Atom Bank.
It is an exciting period of transformation for the two companies, and Leanne is the perfect person for the job. Her history speaks for itself, and we learn more about the woman at the helm.
“After finishing my degree in Tourism at Sheffield Hallam University I joined the Hilton Group in London working in the Conference, Event and Corporate Sales departments,” said Leanne. “After 5 years I then joined the recruitment agency that was helping me find my next role.
But, as someone who was born and bred in the North East, I wanted to return home. That was July 2005 when I joined NRG in Newcastle as a Senior Consultant. I have been with the firm ever since.
In 2017 I led the team to set up Greenbean, our dedicated RPO division. As well as managing large temporary and permanent volume recruitment projects for many of the UK’s largest household names, we also function as an in-house recruitment agency for businesses without an internal talent acquisition team or those seeking to outsource certain parts of their recruitment process or projects outside of their business-asusual recruitment. Our bespoke models can bolster internal resources during times of peak demand to flex and scale with the ever-changing needs of the business.”
One of the significant changes Leanne has implemented since assuming leadership of both businesses is the introduction of certain aspects of the RPO offering to NRG clients. She recognised that select elements of the RPO solution such as recruitment process diagnostic & design, recruitment marketing, interview and assessment centre design and facilitation, and vetting and pre-employment screening, could add huge value to businesses as standalone services.
This transformation into talent advisory services offers a versatile solution that provides an alternative to a full RPO solution. This modular solution is proving highly popular among businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to blue-chip corporations, global enterprises, and public and third-sector organisations, marking a significant evolution in their service offerings.
“Collectively NRG and Greenbean stand unique in the marketplace in being able to offer businesses, wherever they are in the UK, a comprehensive suite of solutions and services that support them throughout each stage of their journey, from start-ups and periods of growth to those navigating relocation, change and transformation.”
Leanne goes on to say: “I am extremely proud to assume leadership of two well-respected brands within the recruitment industry. This creates a unique opportunity for us to make a real difference in supporting how businesses transform their approach to talent acquisition.”
Their offices are based at Quorum Business Park, NE12 8BU.
