A specialist STEM recruiter has joined Space Park Leicester, adding another skills-focused organisation to the growing cluster of companies operating at the £100 million research and innovation site.
The firm, OLIVER. Talent Solutions, has built a UK-wide practice centred on sourcing technical and scientific talent for organisations ranging from early-stage ventures to established engineering and technology companies. Its arrival at the University of Leicester-led hub strengthens the park’s mix of employers, researchers and commercial partners working across space science, manufacturing and data-led innovation.
James Oliver, Founder of OLIVER. Talent Solutions, said, “Joining Space Park Leicester marks a significant milestone for us. As a hub of UK space innovation, the site places us at the heart of a community we increasingly support, one that thrives on cutting-edge engineering, scientific discovery and ambitious thinking.”
He added: “Establishing a presence here ensures we are closer to the organisations and individuals shaping the future of the space sector. We are here to add value, collaborate and help Space Park Leicester’s community continue to grow.
“We were also attracted to Space Park Leicester because of its collaborative community events such as Cosmic Coffee.”
The expansion places the recruitment firm in direct contact with businesses developing new space technologies and allows it to monitor shifting workforce requirements across the sector. It reflects expanding demand for specialist STEM skills as companies at the site continue to scale teams in areas including engineering, software, advanced sensing, and satellite applications.
Space Park Leicester hosts a range of organisations involved in national and international space activity, creating an environment that supports collaboration, industry engagement, and access to specialised talent pipelines. OLIVER. Talent Solutions’ presence adds further capacity for firms seeking support with recruitment in an increasingly competitive skills landscape.
