Our recent work with Reed has been nominated for Best Website at the National Online Recruitment Awards! 💥 Together, we created a new Careers website to showcase Reed’s unique opportunities, highlight open roles, and share inspiring employee testimonials about life at Reed.

Our Head of AI, Łukasz Mądrzak-Wecke had the privilege to deliver a lecture to students at Poznan University of Technology on the evolution and future of AI. The session explored the foundations of AI, examined emerging trends, and discussed whether large language models may plateau in the near future. Łukasz highlighted AI's impact on the computer science industry and how at Tangent we are taking advantage of AI to prepare businesses for future challenges.

As part of our ongoing commitments to planet and purpose, our team in Valencia took advantage of the great weather and took some time to give back to the community. Partnering with Cruz Roja Española (Red Cross) they went to the Valencia Albufeira and cleaned this beautiful natural space from plastics and other debris. Home to many birds and marine species, the Albufeira is considered one of the most important green spaces of the Autonomous Region of Valencia and we were happy to spare some time in keeping it looking its best! An important morning for all that ended with a big portion of paella! 🥘
