Manchester isn’t just a regional business hub – it’s a national contender in tech, digital, and data. With a talent pool of over 100,000 professionals, five universities feeding the pipeline, and lower business costs than London, the city is ideal for building high-performing teams.

At Live Digital, we leverage personal networks, referrals, and strategic outreach to engage these top performers before they hit the job boards. We combine tech-driven tools with the human touch to connect your business with the right people, at the right time.
We work with clients across multiple verticals, including:
