I've often wondered how small tech start-ups manage to maintain their strong ethos and culture when they grow to large unicorn levels. It's easy enough to manage when there are only a few employees, but when you get to 700+, surely something changes? Well, I had my chance to find out when I spoke to Lorraine Metcalf, Chief People Officer at Quantexa, in March 2024.

Lorraine has extensive HR and Talent experience leading teams at businesses such as Zoopla and Notonthehighstreet. She has been awarded several prestigious HR awards throughout her career and has some fascinating ideas on employer brand and culture.

During this episode of the Cup of tea series, Sarah quizzes Lorraine on how she's fostered company values and culture in a business that's faced rapid growth and expansion over the last few years. They discuss employer brand and how this has been instrumental to their success, as well as how she and her team onboard new hires into Quantexa.

If you'd like to find out more about employer branding, or discuss any of the topics you've heard in the Cup of tea series, please do get in touch.
