Chapter 2 secures investment from Steven Bartlett to scale talent solutions
Steven Bartlett backs Chapter 2 to expand its recruitment platform and global reach.
Chapter 2 provides tech-enabled recruitment and talent solutions for global businesses.
Steven Bartlett has made a strategic investment in Chapter 2 to support the company in scaling its recruitment and talent acquisition platform.
Founded in 2020, Chapter 2 operates across multiple global markets and provides flexible talent solutions that combine agency agility with in-house cultural integration. The company has previously achieved notable growth while serving clients such as John Lewis and Bumble.
With this backing from Bartlett, Chapter 2 aims to expand its global reach and enhance its platform capabilities for businesses seeking top-tier talent.
From the founder
"I genuinely believe that the recruitment and talent acquisition space is slow, expensive, and ripe for disruption. Attracting and retaining the top 0.1% is harder than ever in a saturated market. As the Global COO of OLIVER Agency, our biggest challenge was retaining the culture and quality we had built while scaling our team, at pace, globally. I quickly realised this was due to the recruitment industry simply not being fit for purpose, and why I founded Chapter 2."

Investor perspective
"The definition of the word 'Company' is 'group of people.' Hiring a great group of people is the single, most important, fundamental objective of any company that has the potential to be great. I've spent years trying to build a talent solution that would allow my companies and I, to find, attract, and recruit the world's best talent. The issue I've found is that typical recruitment companies are expensive, have misaligned incentives, and don't understand our company's culture. Then I discovered Chapter 2, a company designed to fix all of this, led by Leo who is one of the best entrepreneurs I've ever met. I knew we had to join forces to power my company's talent needs; Flight Group, but also to help high potential companies all over the world to meet their talent needs."
