August at Fruition Group: Promotions, Insights & Milestones

From career wins to market insights, August was a month of growth and momentum at Fruition Group. Here’s a look at what we’ve been sharing, learning, and celebrating.

Celebrating Promotions

Two big wins for the team this month!

Joe Cox stepped up as Head of Practice – Cloud, while Holly Thompson earned her promotion to Senior Recruitment Consultant. Both have shown what consistency, drive, and determination can achieve and we couldn’t be prouder.

What Martin Loves About Recruitment

Martin Jones, Director at Fruition, shared the two moments that make recruitment special for him:

• Watching new hires grow from scratch into independent, successful consultants.
  
  

• Helping experienced recruiters thrive in an environment where tools, training, and culture unlock their potential.

CV Advice with Fia Chandler

Many of the candidates we speak with ask: “Should I tweak my CV for every job?” 

Fia Chandler, Delivery Consultant at Fruition Group, says if there’s one thing you shouldn’t do, it’s send the same CV to every role.

Instead, show the right skills up top and tailor it to the role.

Talking Tech: Human + Machine

AI is progressively being baked into how we build, design, and deliver. 
But with new workflows come new questions: 

• What roles didn’t exist five years ago but are now essential? 
• How are AI copilots changing developer workflows? 
• When should you trust the machine, and when should you escalate to a human?  

This month’s Talking Tech explored how AI is reshaping tech teams, from new roles like prompt engineers to the cultural impact of AI copilots in delivery squads.
