Real-World Case Studies
We sourced Electronic Design Engineers and Embedded Software Engineers who designed award-winning stem cell regeneration technology which is has been used in the medical and healthcare sectors to treat over 500,000 patients over the world!
We were retained to find RF and Microwave Engineering specialists who are currently designing incredible satellite communications technology that will work with the likes of Amazon, Space-X, Virgin Galactic, etc. to collaborate in orbit.
We found some of the best power electronics engineers in the world to play a crucial role in developing new power supplies for ventilators during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Corporate Donations
Each year, we partner with a charity that falls in line with our goal for that year. At the end of each year we will donate as much as we possibly can to make a positive impact in our community. Working with Octagon Group as a client, as someone looking for a new job, or as an employee will allow us to make bigger donations and allow us to make a real difference. So, whether we’ve helped you find an exciting new job or a fantastic new hire for your team, you’ll be contributing to something bigger and sharing in our vision to make the world a better place. Below are some of the wonderful charities we’ve partnered with.
2019 – Alzheimer’s Society UK: > More on Alzheimer’s Society UK and the fantastic work that they do.
2020 – Trussell Trust (Bedford Foodbank): > More on Trussell Trust and what they’re all about.
2021 – FACES (Family and Children’s Early-help Services): > More on FACES, including how to support or donate.
Community Projects
In addition to this, we work with local schools who have leavers choosing not to go on to further education. Octagon Group will host free in-house training sessions (either 1-1 or in small groups) to help build skills and confidence in:
• Resume writing
• Applying for jobs
• Interview techniques
These are essential skills every child needs and sadly not every child is lucky enough to have a mentor at home who can teach this.
