ROQ, the strategic software testing solutions provider, has appointed Sarah Barlow as their new Head of Talent, to drive recruitment and find the perfect candidates to support the company’s continued growth.

Co-founder and director of ROQ, Mark Bargh, said: “Attracting and retaining our team is a key business priority as we continue to meet our ambitious growth plans. The Head of Talent role as part of our Leadership Team sends out a firm message to those in the business, and those looking to join, that we take their careers and employee happiness seriously.

Sarah said: “I’m delighted to join the ROQ team and am looking forward to helping the company continue to attract the perfect candidates, ensuring we have the very best people in place to meet the ever-changing needs of clients. ROQ genuinely believes that its people are its greatest asset and invests heavily in helping and supporting the team to develop professionally, whilst creating a great working environment.

“The company quite rightly prides itself on being not only a great place to develop professionally, but also on the work the team does to support good causes, and its active social calendar. ROQ’s values align perfectly with my own and I’m very excited to be starting out on this journey.” From the UK’s Premier Test Lab, ROQ delivers quality software testing solutions to clients across both the private and public sectors. Recent contract wins and ongoing client engagement means that the search continues for candidates in the software testing field to join ROQ, bringing with them passion, experience and the desire to deliver a great service.
