In the North East’s premier technical powerhouse from the high-growth SaaS and FinTech clusters in the Newcastle Helix to the world-leading Gaming, BIM, and Subsea Engineering hubs, the “Empty Chair” is a silent drain on your P&L. In a city where the tech sector is growing faster than any other region in the UK, waiting 90 days for “the perfect candidate” isn’t due diligence; it’s a strategic bottleneck that stalls your momentum and cedes your competitive edge.
