Quarter 1 Roundup | Doing things the Moxie way.

Moxie People’s Quarter 1 Review.

This quarter has brought with it a lot of growth and reflection. While in some areas we’ve burst forward at 100 miles an hour, in other ways we’ve hit the brakes and taken a moment to peel back the layers so that we can analyse what we’re doing and how we can do it better.

• Teamwork makes the dreamwork. This quarter we’ve expanded by not one, not two but three new kick-ass recruiters. It’s safe to say we’re all kinds of excited about it. Give a big Moxie welcome to Brett Healey (our new Talent Partner focused on Private sector Cost & Project Management, Property and Building Services.), Libby Davies (our Talent Coordinator on the charity desk) and Yaingy Chan (Talent Manager for the Tech for Good space). Each brings with them bags of experience and - even more importantly - a real desire to work for a purpose-led organisation. They’re in-cred-ible. So, watch this space. We’re sure you’ll be hearing more about them soon.

• Same same, but different. You may have noticed a new phrase in the Moxie dictionary up there - ‘ Tech for Good’ 👆👆It’s an area we’ve wanted to add to our portfolio for a loooong time, and now - with the addition for Yaingy to the team - we’ve been able to make it a reality. Everything we do at Moxie comes back to how recruitment can (and should!) be used as a vehicle to long lasting change and impact. Tech for Good slots in seamlessly to that ethos. We can’t wait to see how this Moxie arm develops. We’re all rooting for you, Yaingy!

• Caryl wrecked the mic. Moxie’s very own Caryl spoke at the recent HR Disrupt event in Tramshed Tech’s Newport venue. Her presentation was SEAMLESS, and she absolutely smashed it in front of a crowd of fellow HR professionals. Sam and Rich also took to the stage to chat about all things Working Wardrobe and the story behind the project. They all did Moxie proud!

• Game, set, match. Keeran got his game on for his ‘Gaming for Good’ challenge. The charity challenge saw him take on a 12 hour stretch of non-stop gaming, all in the name of Llamau. Our Kezza raised £170 - an immense achievement, we think you’ll agree?

• Practise what we preach. Moxie People enjoyed two volunteering days as a team - one was spent helping unload an enormous suit donation from Moss Bros for Working Wardrobe (more on that later), and the other at Insole Court - a gorgeous Victorian property which is operated by the Insole Court Trust (where our Caryl sits on the board). We donned the overalls and got our hands dirty with a fun day of painting.

• The 9-Day Fortnight 💥This quarter, we also firmed up our 9-day fortnight. The team now work a 4 days a week, every other week. It’s part of our aim to look after team wellbeing and promote better work-life balance - something that can be tough to find in recruitment!

• Relocation, relocation, relocation. This one’s a biggun - we also shut the door on One Central Square for the final time. We absolutely LOVED our first ever office… It really was a corker. But, all good things come to an end. As Moxie rapidly expanded, we started to outgrow our previous working space. We’ve now set up shop on Cathedral Road, right opposite Kin & Ilk - a dangerous spot for the caffeine addicts in the office! We’re knee deep in Moxification… Picture a quirky space with our purple brand running throughout and loads of opportunities for collaboration and high performance. This amazing new space will enable us to grow our team up to 12 people - big things are coming!
