An innovative new recruitment service is reshaping how employers across Telford and the wider Shropshire County access skilled staff, whilst ensuring that all profits generated are reinvested to fuel innovation and enterprise.
was only formally launched at the University which shares its name back in September 2025 but is already rapidly emerging as one of Shropshire’s most forward?thinking recruitment services. Positioned with a clear social purpose, it connects talent with meaningful opportunity, all while powering the next generation of local enterprise.
Jenice Forde, Branch Manager at Unitemps, said: “At the heart of our approach is a commitment to understanding the needs of local businesses.
“Employers benefit from a responsive, streamlined hiring process, a strong pipeline of motivated candidates, and a service that feels more like a long-term partner than a traditional agency. And the team’s mission is rooted in purpose as much as performance.”
“Every placement we make contributes directly to the university’s ability to invest in enterprise, research and innovation, and that benefits the whole of Shropshire.”
With Harper Adams recognised as ‘Shropshire’s University’ Unitemps strengthens its role as a catalyst for innovation, and creates a continuous cycle for talent, enterprise and opportunity.
This reinvestment model sets the service apart. Profits from recruitment are reinvested into initiatives that help students, graduates, and local industries bring new ideas to life. Funds support business incubation, research, industry collaboration and skills development programmes that have a tangible impact on the region’s economic resilience.
For employers, the benefits are twofold, access to high quality recruitment support and the knowledge that their partnership is helping to drive regional growth.
“We’re here to support businesses with the talent they need today, but also to strengthen the region for tomorrow,” Jenice added.
