Yes, we are taking a page straight out of the Spotify playbook by doing a round up for 2022. In our defence, we’ve had a monumental year. We can’t help but shout about it.

While our business has grown, so have our teams in their professional and person lives. From promotions to new families, we’ve been extremely honoured to be on their journey with them and them with us.

Let’s have a look at what happened in 2022…

Award Winning Business.

Our personal highlight for the year would have to be the fact we were Global Recruiter Award Winners for 2022. The awards recognise the companies who have demonstrated best practice, leading edge thinking and more over the last 12 months. We couldn’t be prouder to take the trophy home.

Here is what the judges had to say, “this is a business that truly puts their clients, candidates, and employees at the heart of what they do, building deep rooted communities of organisations across their chosen specialisms. At the same time, they enjoy high levels of billing and operating profit. There is a real sense of momentum about this business that shows no sign of slowing down.”

A New Look.

The TDA Creative website launched in 2022, improving usability, style, and performance. We’d like to say a very special thank you to KeyApps for all their support in bringing this next step for our brand to life. Please have a look around to check out the new site.

Academy 3.0.

TDA Academy

Our TDA Academy continues and is now in its third iteration. Its purpose is to give young, driven people from all backgrounds the opportunity to embark on an exciting, successful career in recruitment while earning a fair and competitive wage.

Academy 4.0 launches early in 2023 and will look to be bigger and better than ever. If you are interested in joining or would like to recommend anyone, please head to our careers page here.

The Launch of TDA Search.

TDA Search recently launched and focuses on delivering executive search consultancy services. The mission here was never to re-invent the consultancy process but modernize it. By combining the latest in AI and Automated tools, with the craft and skill of experts in their field, TDA can bring our customers unrivalled talent advisory service that access demand, augment a plan, and automate a solution for any need.

The Future of Design Forum 25X25.

The Future of Design Forum began as a private community for the most visionary design executives. The forum explores the future of design and design leadership, and hosts monthly gatherings where members discuss the most pressing issues facing their teams and it will continue to do that.

However, there is now so much knowledge and value coming out of the group that we felt it was time to open it up to design leaders to share their knowledge with everyone.

Our new 25X25 session is an open format that allows for a 25-minute presentation from a design leader to share their knowledge. This is then followed by a 25-minute Q&A session where the forum members can share their own thoughts on the subject matter or ask questions to our design leader.

We’re really excited to see how this grows. Click here if you would like to join.

One Tree Planted.

On the subject of growing, as our business scales we know we have a responsibility to give back and do more for our community and the environment. 

This is why we have launched the one tree planted initiative to directly help restore forest cover in Uganda, Australia and the Pacific Northwest. 

How it works:

  • We make a placement with a client or add a team member to TDA
  • At the end of the month, we keep a tally of how many placements and team members we have added and plant that many trees through the charity One Tree Planted
  • This will be an ongoing exercise and we plan to plant thousands of trees to support forest cover and our environment

So far we have planted over 100 trees and look forwarded to planting more next year. 

Thanks to you.

All of the great things we have achieved this year would not have happened without our partners, clients, friends and amazing candidates. You’ve helped us shape what’s next for our own business but also many other organisations all over the world so a massive thank you for your continued support.

Looking a head.

As an ambitious company we enjoy reflecting on the journey we have been on, however, looking back also inspires and excites us to look forward to the year ahead.

Our biggest news to share for 2023 will be the launch our new specialism, Cyber Security. Looking at our established areas of operation in Design, Product, Data and Product, it felt natural to expand into this area.

Especially since technology and the internet are such integral components of modern life and business. It is difficult to think how we would live without them, which is why cyber security is so vital to everything we do.

For businesses It’s more crucial than ever to take precautions to stop cybercriminals from accessing organisations accounts, data, and devices. We know we can support businesses to safeguard their customers and teams in the right way in 2023.
