Entrepreneur Steven Bartlett supports the launch of Chapter 2's new talent solution focus on health, named 'Chapter 2 Health Talent,' aiming to transform health sector recruitment.
Chapter 2 Health Talent, a new arm of the recruitment and talent solutions provider, has been launched with a focus on the health sector. Backed by entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, the company is led by Simon Ryan, who brings over a decade of specialist health recruitment experience.
The unique services offered by Chapter 2 Health Talent include embedded recruitment, intelligence and talent pools, employer branding, transformation advisory, and comprehensive recruitment services. These services are designed to cater to the unique needs of private hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, medical technology enterprises, and other specialist health companies.
Embedded Recruitment involves talent experts being embedded directly within health organisations to provide scalable and tailored hiring solutions using insider knowledge and market insights. The company also utilises advanced technology and data-backed strategies to build and nurture deep talent pools, ensuring access to the best clinical and non-clinical candidates.
Chapter 2 Health Talent's employer branding services promote each client’s unique healthcare culture to attract top talent and improve retention. This includes strategic campaigns, candidate conversion content, hero videos, social media shorts, career site design, ATS integration, LinkedIn/personal branding, and more.
In addition, Chapter 2 Health Talent offers workforce strategy alignment with long-term objectives through workforce planning, gap analysis, and market insights, helping clients future-proof their healthcare recruitment decisions.
The company's comprehensive recruitment services encompass end-to-end recruitment, including permanent, fixed-term, temporary roles, executive search, retained assignments, managed service provision (MSP), recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), and volume recruitment.
Leo Harrison, Founder and CEO of Chapter 2, emphasised the importance of the health sector, stating that it is an essential pillar with rapid expansion, creating urgent needs and opportunities. The launch of Chapter 2 Health Talent aims to go beyond traditional recruitment by combining deep sector expertise with strategic, technology-driven talent solutions to create meaningful impact in healthcare hiring.
Steven Bartlett supports Chapter 2’s mission because it disrupts traditional recruitment by addressing its common failings—such as high cost, cultural misalignment, and inefficiency—through an integrated model of people, process, and technology. The approach treats talent acquisition as a marketing challenge, leveraging data to better attract and retain healthcare talent.
In a recent six-month project, Chapter 2 Health Talent helped a client hire 175 staff and save over £2 million in agency fees, reducing their hiring time by 21 days. The company is also committed to sustainability and social responsibility, with a goal to plant 1,000 trees and reduce 200 tonnes of CO2 in its first year.
Chapter 2 Health Talent has already partnered with luxury health club Third Space as an Embedded client, demonstrating its unique position to transform talent acquisition across the health space. The company aims to cater to the needs of the health sector today and in the future, reinforcing its dedication to its core values of health, happiness, and humanity.
