Talent Acquisition that works


We provide a fractional or embedded talent service that is tailor made and flexible to be scaled up or down as required. 

We have flexible pay-as-we-go or subscription models designed to suit your needs. 

We work strategically with leadership teams and develop plans aligned to your business goals. We recruit for all vacancies across all departments. We set up and run the entire TA process using the latest tools. 

Our service is a lot more comprehensive, but still significantly cheaper than traditional recruitment agencies. We have never used an external agency to assist with sourcing. 

A bespoke Talent Acquisition service that handles everything whilst building your brand and reducing your costs. 

About us...

Professional and efficient but with humour, positivity and a smile

Conga Group was set-up in 2019 by Gemma and Nick who both have over 20 years of recruitment and headhunting experience, mostly with Scottish based tech and renewable energy companies.

We are a pair of conscientious, down-to-earth, outdoorsy types. Gemma lives in East Lothian and loves hiking, trail running and swimming and Nick lives on the Moray coast and enjoys hiking and river fly fishing.

We believe that a well-executed, bespoke talent acquisition service is the best solution to help leaders of SMEs hire the right people for their culture and teams. We take the best parts of having an inhouse talent acquisition team, a top-notch external recruitment consultancy and an employee marketing team and bring it to the companies who can benefit most. We find all of the people a growing company needs, across all departments. We do this in a flexible way, at the cost and scale that fits our clients' plans, and we make everything as easy as possible.

We are happy to say that our service model and approach continues to work excellently for every client that we support.

Testimonials

Trust our clients

  • You have transformed our recruitment process. We've had so much positive feedback on it since we started working with you.
  • Working with Gemma and Nick (Conga Group) has been, and continuous to be, a fantastic experience. Our partnership started back in February 2022 and there has been no occasion where they haven’t delivered what we have asked. Our main roles include the Software Development and Product side, but they have even been able to help us find some really complex and niche roles like a Head of Geomatics in Qatar with a very long list of essential criteria. They take the time to understand our business, our culture, and the specific needs we look for in our new team members. We consider them an extension of Cyberhawk Talent Acquisition team and have full trust of them representing our business and branding. The process has always been smooth, efficient, and professional; and the candidates they’ve introduced to us have been consistently meeting our standards. Thanks to their support, we’ve been able to bring in great talent that has made a real impact on our team. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to find tech expertise for their company, and even outside the Software function.
  • Conga played an instrumental role in supporting our accelerated growth plan. They were proficient in both sourcing and filtering candidates, and importantly fully immersed themselves into our business - acting as an extension of the Nokkel team. Nick and Gemma form an exceptional team and I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for hiring solutions.
  • We first chose Conga because we felt they really listened, understood our needs and brought lots of good ideas that aligned with our thoughts, views and values. Conga instantly became trusted members of the team, helping us set the tone for what our culture would become. Their collaborative style, person centric approach and dedication to finding solutions has meant we were able to build a diverse, remote team through a pandemic. They have Exizent's interests at heart and the feedback we get from everyone has been through our process is fantastic!
  • Conga have consistently delivered this year against very difficult permanent roles including: software engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, UX/UI and service design and BAs during a pandemic and without us needing any external agency help. They bring ideas and energy to every role and we trust them to represent Exizent honestly and with integrity. Their help and advice is well thought out, they are flexible, adaptable and always available, going over and above what we expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to find people for their technology business.
