CEO and host of "Diary of a CEO," Steven Bartlett, is investing in Chapter 2. This tech-driven recruitment and talent firm aims to improve and update the traditional recruitment business model and address the changing needs of companies everywhere.

The Transformational Approach of Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is based in the United Kingdom but also has operations in the United States, South Africa, India, and Germany. It was established by Leo Harrison in 2020 to improve upon traditional recruitment methods. The company offers scalable solutions for finding talent that are quick and affordable, shaped according to each client’s specific needs.

Main Points about Chapter 2’s Approach,

• Balances an agency's speediness with an internal team's cultural know-how.
• It centers around three main principles: People, Processes, and Technology.
• Serves notable clients such as John Lewis and Bumble.

Chapter 2’s CEO, Leo Harrison, explained why he started the company: “Recruitment can be slow, costly, and needs some innovation. It’s getting more difficult by day to attract top-tier employees due to high competition. While I served as Global COO of OLIVER Agency, I noticed that it was hard to preserve our culture quality while we expanded on a global scale.”

The Significance Behind the Investment

Steven Bartlett's investment comes from recognizing wider problems within the recruitment industry. He believes that Chapter 2 can bring about significant changes in how talents are acquired. As an entrepreneur and the youngest ever participant at BBC's 'Dragons’ Den,' Bartlett plans to use his knowledge to further Chapter 2's objectives.

Here’s what Bartlett had to say about this investment, “Any company wanting to succeed places teams hiring at top priority. I tried to create a talent solution for my companies and myself so we could hire the world's best talent. But, I noticed traditional recruitment firms were high priced, incentives were mismatched and company cultures often misunderstood. Then, I came across Chapter 2 which aims to fix these issues, directed by Leo whom I consider as one of the best entrepreneurs.”
