Iridium, has appointed three new team members as the business continues to go from strength-to-strength, seeing the overall team double to 16 in the past six months. 
 
Lindsey O’Neill, Talent Solutions Specialist, will be responsible for matching industry-leading IT consultants with clients’ specific requirements. Tapping into broad experience in the recruitment sector, from Assurity Consulting to New Zealand’s Ministry of Health, Lindsey will bring a dynamic and fresh approach to the busy team. 
 
Lindsey comments on her appointment: “Iridium’s goals, values and expansion plans really resonate with me. The firm is growing, and fast, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to be part of building something great.” 
 
Jade Howson, has also joined the business as Business & Operations Support, having worked previously for PSI Global for the past four years. Jade’s valuable experience working within a specialist, global recruitment environment will be hugely beneficial as Iridium continues to develop inline with its growth strategy. 
 
Joining Jade and Lindsey is highly experienced Resource Coordinator, Katie Waller, who will support across resourcing, screening, interviewing and onboarding at Iridium. Prior to Iridium, Katie held roles with Strand Recruitment, Amco Management and Adecco as a Senior Permanent Consultant. 
 
All the new team members will work inline with Iridium’s flexible working policy, with hybrid and remote working options available to all existing staff and new hires. Jade will be predominantly office-based at Iridium’s Leeds-based HQ. Lindsey and Katie will mainly work remotely, in Manchester and Leeds respectively. 
 
The business’s workforce is equally divided between women and men, highlighting Iridium’s commitment to achieving a flexible and diverse environment, both for itself and its clients. As such, Iridium is in talks with several academic institutions and STEM organisations to support and introduce initiatives to attract more young women to the tech industry. 
 
Ben Dainton, co-founder and chairman at Iridium comments: “When we started our business back in 2018, we wanted to create a new breed of consultancy that challenged industry norms.” 
 
“Our recent growth just goes to show that our vision to create a hybrid consultancy that offers value and speed with bespoke, high quality service levels was what our sector was crying out for. This vision also saw us creating a workplace that’s inclusive, family friendly and fun, and diversity has always been at the heart of this. 
 
“We’re delighted to welcome Jade, Katie and Lindsey to our team, and we can’t wait to see the impact of their impressive backgrounds and skills on our business. It’s an exciting time for all of us.”
