Recruitment company works to improve social mobility with office move

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Aug 3, 2023

A recruitment company in Bristol has moved into a new “state-of-the-art” office space.

Baltimore Consulting is now situated on the 17th floor of the newly-renovated Castlemead.

The recruitment experts worked with design agency, McFeggan Brown, to create an open and inclusive space to complement the business’ company culture.

Better Business is an initiative launched by Bristol24/7 to help businesses thrive, whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.

Baltimore was founded in 2013 by Charmaine Vincent.

She has since built a business with a reputation for fulfilling local authorities’ hiring requirements, becoming an expert in supporting vulnerable subject areas such as mental health, SEN and safeguarding.

Baltimore has grown since its founding and now has relationships with 90 per cent of local authorities nationwide, outgrowing its premises in Prince Street as a result.

The company says its new office at Castlemead “provides the perfect opportunity for them and matches their ambitions”.

Alongside panoramic views of the city, the new office gives employees an “enhanced work environment”, providing more space, state-of-the-art facilities and home comforts to support hybrid working patterns.

Baltimore has partnered with Spectrum.Life to provide on demand therapy and mental health support to all staff and their families.

The new office is also equipped with more “pods” and break-out spaces to encourage regular breaks, relaxation and privacy.

With the business’ upward trajectory, the 5290 sq ft office will allow 65 employees across sales and non-sales functions, providing around 30 new job opportunities across the South West.

Charmaine says the new office is “a milestone moment and I’m extremely proud of everything we’ve achieved”.

She said: “It’s incredibly humbling that after a decade in business, we have the opportunity to start a new chapter in a new office that compliments the culture we have created and instilled here at Baltimore Consulting.

“Everything comes full circle, and it feels fitting that our caring ethos and putting people at the core of the business has propelled our growth journey and led us back to where Baltimore Consulting began.

“This move has facilitated us to support clients and candidates and accelerate our overall  customer experience and level of service, with the opportunity to increase headcount.”
