In an exciting development, the recruitment technology and talent agency, Chapter 2, founded by Leo Harrison in 2020, is launching in the United States. This expansion comes as a result of a significant investment from Baltic Ventures, and the appointment of Brad Rose as the leader of the US division.

Brad Rose, who previously served as the MD of Chapter 2 EMEA and has experience at LinkedIn, will be spearheading the US expansion. According to Leo Harrison, Brad's leadership is crucial in positioning the US expansion to align with the market's pace and potential.

The US market, known for its dynamic nature, presents a prime opportunity for Chapter 2. Ideas and talent move fastest here, making it an ideal location for the growing talent acquisition services provider. To cater to this growing client base, Chapter 2 has opened a base in Manhattan.

The investment from Baltic Ventures will contribute to the growth and success of Chapter 2's US operations. This investment follows a year of impressive growth for Chapter 2, with a 80% Year-over-Year growth since Baltic Ventures invested in the business.

Steven Bartlett, host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, has also invested in Chapter 2, further boosting the company's prospects in the US. Bartlett sees the current moment as an ideal time for Chapter 2 to strengthen its US presence, given the surge in demand in the market.

Chapter 2's services, which include an embedded recruitment partner, strategic advisory, and brand expertise, are designed to deliver measurable outcomes such as faster hiring, stronger pipelines, and better candidates. The US market, being the largest global audience for Chapter 2, stands to benefit greatly from these offerings.

Brad Rose emphasises the importance of speed in the US talent market, stating that it is evolving fast and speed matters most. With its strategic approach and commitment to delivering results, Chapter 2 is poised to make a significant impact in the US.

This latest investment milestone is worth celebrating for Chapter 2, marking a significant step forward in its global expansion. As the company continues to grow and adapt to the ever-changing talent market, it is clear that its future in the US is bright.
