Hi, I’m Victoria Cooper, Founder and Managing Director of Essex based WE Talent.
As we celebrate our third anniversary this month, I’ve been reflecting on the moments - big and small - that have shaped our journey so far.
Our team are the reason our candidates and clients choose us and it’s been an eventful 12 months!
Kayleigh Mulraney joined us last August to focus on Essex with a specialism focus on Marketing & Creative.
Lynn Crossman joined us in November to also focus on Essex with a greater spread of specialism focus and so far has had success across HR, Finance & Accountancy and Procurement.
Emma Wright left us in December to go on maternity leave and is due back this Autumn.
Kate de Goni-Parks continues to support and celebrates her 2nd year with us in September!
We have been continuing to expand and grow our reach – proudly based in Es
sex we support a number of hugely successful Essex businesses and it is always a privilege to operate as an extended member of the team. Our aim is to add value and represent our client’s brand in the marketplace – this includes making introductions where we feel this can benefit to help grow business.
Our journey into 2025 started with our membership to Essex Chambers of Commerce, and we’re proud to have started working with fellow members. In March, we sponsored Rhotic Media’s Financial Promoter event, continuing to expand our offering across the City and Leadership/Executive Search market.
By December, we had another successful campaign supporting Home-Start Essex for the third year running - a cause close to our hearts.
Growing with Purpose
In April, we launched our TEMPORARY/INTERIM division - a bold step that led to our first temporary placement within a week. This was made possible by listening to our clients’ changing needs and being agile in how we respond.
We’ve also:
• Widened our reach geographically and across sectors
• Embraced AI tools, while staying true to our belief that human connection remains our most powerful tool
Lessons and Highlights
If the past three years have taught us anything, it’s that resilience is essential and adaptability is everything.
There’s no one single proudest moment. The magic is in:
• A candidate saying, “I’ve finally found my place”
• A client returning for our support, again and again
• A team that keeps showing up with dedication, no matter the market conditions
Looking Ahead
As we look forward, we’re excited to continue working with ambitious businesses across Essex and beyond. For us, it’s always the people that make the work worthwhile.
