Local Jobs for Local People: How Connect2Hackney is helping residents into work

At Connect2Hackney, one of our main goals is to support local people who may have struggled to find work. We understand that everyone’s situation is different, and that the path into employment isn’t always straightforward. That’s why we’re here to help.

Whether you’re returning to work after some time away, changing direction, or just haven’t found the right opportunity yet, we’re here to offer support, guidance and access to roles that make sense for you. Our team works closely with Hackney Council to connect people with real jobs that match their skills and potential.

We’re committed to making recruitment more accessible for Hackney residents. That could mean helping you update your CV, working out which roles suit your experience, or just having someone to speak to who understands the local job market. Sometimes a small bit of support is all it takes to feel ready for that next step.

We know Hackney, because we live here

Our team has strong ties to the area, and that local knowledge helps us support residents in a more personal way. One of our Talent Partners, Daryl Goldie, grew up in Hackney and still lives just five minutes from our office.

Daryl has over ten years of experience in recruitment across education, health and social care, and retail. He’s passionate about helping people find the right roles, and being based in the borough means he understands the challenges and opportunities in the area:

“I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and supporting my local borough with its recruitment needs,” says Daryl. “Being able to give back to the area where I was born and raised is incredibly important to me”

Support tailored to you

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. When you register with us, we take the time to understand your background, skills and goals. We’ll work with you to help make the process simple and supportive from the very start.

That might include:

• CV tips and updates

• Help with job applications

• Advice on what roles might be a good fit

• Support with interviews

• Check-ins once you’re in work

Most importantly, we’ll treat you as a person, not just a candidate.
