Amoria Bond is one of Europe’s fastest-growing businesses, and it’s currently changing the game when it comes to STEM recruitment.
But it all started with humble Manchester beginnings.
The multi award-winning Didsbury-based recruitment company may have undergone an impressive expansion to now be operating in 42 countries worldwide, but it started all the way back in 2006 when the three founders were trekking through South America and bonded over a shared love of music and DJ-ing, and most-importantly, a belief that the best kind of recruitment comes from having a solid, value-based core.
This is why they decided to create “a different kind of recruitment business” – a business that prides itself on providing a unique and inclusive culture, where recruiters can develop and thrive in a range of sectors that are genuinely making a difference to the world.

The company lives by the phrase, ‘Progressing Lives Everywhere’, and even the company name represents “the importance of collaboration” and loving what you do.
But what exactly is Amoria Bond all about? How is the company striving to make its impact felt in an ever-changing world? And what makes it such an exciting place to work for recruitment professionals?

What is Amoria Bond?
Specialising in service-driven consultancy and staffing group in global STEM markets, Amoria Bond recruits experts in advanced engineering and technology, who can accelerate positive change, and ultimately, “transform the world around us”.
The clients that the company works with often have specific and very niche requirements for people to fulfil complex tasks, and so, as a specialist firm, Amoria Bond’s consultants are able to focus on specific areas and become experts in these fields, which gives them the awareness and insight to build a global network of professionals and find the people that no one else can.
And it’s fair to say that some of the “pioneering” sectors that Amoria Bond has placed professionals within over the last 15 years are the industries of the future too.

Think companies that provide everything from new renewable energy installations, to embedded software that connects smart devices to manufacturing lifesaving medical devices and vaccines, and so much more.
When it comes to candidates, Amoria Bond is all about providing the best opportunities for people by supporting and advising them at every stage to help improve their prospects, and eventually win their dream jobs.

What is the company’s vision and purpose?
The company’s vision is simple – to be the best service-driven consultancy and staffing group in global STEM markets.
It’s what drives everyone who works there to “continually improve”.
‘Progressing Lives Everywhere’ is Amoria Bond’s commitment to “advancing and enhancing” the lives of its clients, candidates, and colleagues, as well as a commitment to making a positive and sustainable impact on the wider global community and environment.

This purpose of progression informs how the company achieves its vision and strategic growth ambitions, and it does so by helping clients to successfully grow and achieve their goals.
How is the company making a positive impact to the wider community?
Amoria Bond operates on what it says is a fundamental belief embedded throughout its culture that “every action has an impact”, and that it has an ethical responsibility to ensure that its impact as a company is a positive one.
The Amoria Bond Charitable Trust is a registered charity and grant-making trust that’s primarily funded by contributions from the company and its employees, and it has donated over £200,000 to charitable initiatives over the years, as well as build two community soup kitchens and 101 homes that provide housing and security for 500 people in Las Laderas in Peru.
Those who work in Amoria Bond’s offices in Manchester, Cologne, and Amsterdam regularly make trips over to Las Laderas to help with a range of projects.

The next volunteer trip is actually scheduled for this June, with colleagues set to help build a new accommodation wing at the children’s refuge – which gives young people with no homes or families a safe place to sleep, eat, and get an education.
What makes Amoria Bond such a great place to work?
The commitment to ‘Progressing Lives Everywhere’ doesn’t just stop at candidates, it’s actually a crucial part of working for Amoria Bond and it starts with the company’s colleagues.
The company prides itself on its “fun and inclusive” work culture.
While it says it “doesn’t pretend to be perfect”, Amoria Bond is 100% committed and holds itself fully-accountable to delivering sustainable and meaningful action-led change, both internally within the recruitment industry it loves, and across the STEM sectors it serves.
Amoria Bond has been recognised as the best recruitment company to work for by every major recruitment industry awards body, and is only company to have won the ‘Recruiter Investing in Talent’s Best Professional Development’ award for five consecutive years thanks to its proven and successful approach that has seen 58 employees promoted in the last 12 months.

Emily Sergeant
Get ready to spend the summer in space, as Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum has announced its summer events programme.
And it’s full of free interactive events and activities to get involved with.
As the temperatures rise, schools across Greater Manchester get ready to break up for summer, and parents and carers gear up to entertain the little ones, the Science and Industry Museum has just announced its summer events programme – with some new space-themed activities on the lineup for the first time.
It’s time to embark on an unforgettable adventure through the Solar System, as families can blast off on a journey packed with hands-on experiences and cosmic fun.

From live space shows and giant rockets, to tinkering activities Martian discovery trails, and the chance to visit the blockbuster exhibition Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos if you haven’t already, budding astronauts are in for a summer to remember.
By far one of the stand-out free events this summer is the arrival of 30-foot-tall rocket ship, Skybolt 2 – hosted by Manchester-based aerospace company, Starchaser – giving visitors the chance to revel at the real-life space craft and meet the team behind the rocket.
Designed to reach speeds of up to 3200mph, Skybolt 2 first flew in September 2017 and still displays some visible marks from its landing.
There’ll also be a new twist on the classic seaside puppet show, as artist Solar Sister brings space stories to life during interactive walkabout performances alongside an astronaut puppet companion.
Little Mancs can even get involved with draw-a-long workshops, take on space-inspired LEGO challenges, and even turn everyday items into instruments by joining a junk percussion jam inspired by space waste.
Then, on Wednesday 12 August, rocket activities will be swapped for a special event to mark the upcoming solar eclipse.
Expect live interactive shows, demonstrations, spectacular images of the Sun disappearing on giant screens, as well opportunities to discover more about this rare celestial event.
Science and Industry Museum’s Director, Sally MacDonald, said free and affordable experiences are ‘more essential than ever’ during the summer holidays.
“Our summer programme will offer families memorable days out to enjoy together, giving them the opportunity to explore the universe without even leaving Manchester,” she added.
The summer events programme will be running at the Science and Industry Museum from Saturday 18 July through to Tuesday 1 September, and you can find out more here.

A dedicated anime, movie and gaming concert with a live orchestra is coming to Manchester
Danny Jones
Calling all self-proclaimed otakus, cinephiles and gamers: a huge concert experience will see dozens of musicians bring classic anime, film and gaming soundtracks and scores to life later this year, right here in Manchester.
The city is no stranger to events celebrating these beloved kinds of media, but you’ll struggle to find another bringing all of them together in one place.
Brought to us Mancs by KIN Music Entertainment, a locally founded arts, events and music label, this celebration of all things pop culture – and specifically, the music tied to it.
Entitled ‘The Kin & Fushigi Anime, Film & Videogame Orchestra’, this passionate collective serves as not only a platform for rising artists but also to hear some iconic sonic moments like never before.
KIN have created a large-scale live concert experience which will bring together a 25-piece pop orchestra made up of emerging professional performers and conservatoire graduates.
Aside from the impressive total of people behind this production to begin with, they also form an immersive hybrid orchestral and live band capable of bringing.
Speaking on the upcoming date, KIN Entertainment said in a statement: “We wanted to create the kind of live experience that many anime and videogame fans in Manchester have been waiting for — something cinematic, emotional and community-driven that brings these sound worlds to life with the energy of both an orchestra and a live band.”
Kin was founded by bassist, composer and ensemble performer Alejandro Urbina Diaz, who first brought his talents and wider interests over from Mexico to the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) here in the city centre at the age of 23.
Citing Manchester’s multiculturalism and cosmopolitan cultural fabric as a big part of his inspiration, he and his team have ended up carving out this niche for themselves, and now they’ll be playing this beloved music to Mancs at none other than the O2 Ritz.

With new arrangements inspired by anime, cinematic and videogame culture, not to mention orchestral and even rock crossover twists – including both vocalist and rhythm sections, by the way – it’s set to be a highly unique experience that most will have never come across before.
This event itself is suitable for audiences aged 14+, although under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and it’s taking place at the Ritz on Sunday, 26 July.
We’re not going to spoil any more details about the show for you, so which particular pieces of pop culture they reference will just have to be a surprise…
