Our Story
2008: The beginning
Corecom is founded by Jonathan Sanderson to positively change the way businesses, recruitment suppliers and candidates engage with each other.
2010: New directions
Two years after forming, Jonathan Sanderson recruits Corecom’s first employee. The team move to their own office in Park Square Leeds.
2012: Expanding our team
By 2012, we had grown to a team of six, prompting the need to move to a larger office. Putting employee wellbeing high on the agenda, Jonathan had set a company holiday target which we smashed, prompting a company-wide trip to Amsterdam.
2013: Stepping up growth
In 2013 our marketing team was born. We expanded to a team of 10 and appointed Mike Walmsley as Non-Executive Director. We also went through a company rebrand to better reflect our ethos and values.
2014: Going social
This year saw us build an impressive technology community through a series of award-winning, thought leadership and technology networking events – the Boss Series and TechSessions. Our community has now grown to 10,000 technology professionals offering face to face access and market credibility with a network of the best talent in our core markets.
2014 also saw us grow our team to 12 and establish our Operations Team as our services continued to grow.
2016: Sales & marketing wins
Following another couple of years of growth and a move to larger office space, we appointed Rick Hughes as Sales Director, expanded our team further to 16 and launched our new website to reflect our growing team and values.
2016: A year of wins
2017 was a stirling year for us. Responding to our growing client base and needs, we opened our second office in Manchester. Jonathan was also rightly recognised for his unfaltering dedication to his staff team, with a Recruitment Boss of the Year win. Whilst receiving industry recognition, we also continued to strengthen our team with the appointment of our Operations Director.
2018: 10 years of service
This year saw Corecom celebrate 10 years of service. We moved to a bigger space and our employees enjoyed two company holidays for hitting our annual targets.
2019: Award recognition
Our MD, Jonathan Sanderson is presented with the “Excellence in Business Award” and is named “Leader of the Year” finalist at the Investors in People Awards and “Recruitment Boss of the Year” finalist at MARA for the fourth year running.
The team continued to grow to 28 and we moved to our own independent office space.
2021: Celebrating unprecedented success in unprecedented times
Following an unprecedented 18 months in which we moved to remote working, we were fortunate enough to go from strength to strength, opening our first European office in Benelux and winning a number of business awards including “The UK’s Leading Recruitment Company”, “Best In-House Marketing Team” and, receiving the coveted Investors in People Platinum mark.
What I wanted from this partnership was to be able to take a step back and free me up to focus on my other responsibilities in addition to recruitment. Working with Corecom alone made everything so straight forward. I wasn’t having to chase up several agencies and there was no duplication of candidates. Tunstall was their no1 focus and I trusted them to deliver, which they did. There was noticeable improvements in CV-to-interview and interview-to-placement ratios which was a real pain point before changing the model on how we worked together. Working on a retained basis gave me confidence that extra effort and resource would be put in to filling the roles.
