As a specialist HR division, we understand the pressures, challenges and opportunities facing businesses, as well as what’s motivating top HR professionals.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career, or searching for an impressive new employee, our People and Culture recruitment team can help.

Finding a HR role

The HR profession is developing rapidly, with new HR tech bringing greater insights, precision and efficiency to the industry. While this represents exciting opportunities for the sector, new technologies have also given rise to skills gaps. With more vacancies than suitable candidates to fill them, many companies struggle to retain their best employees.

With a smaller talent pool to choose from, businesses must be strategic in their approach to hiring to attract the best HR talent. The dedicated HR recruitment division at Eden Scott understands what today’s top candidates consider an attractive job opportunity. That goes beyond the salary and benefits package, and includes factors like workplace culture, flexibility and professional development opportunities.

Beyond skills and experience, we seek out candidates whose motivations align with your company’s goals, to form effective partnerships for the long term.

We can advise on every aspect of the hiring process, from creating your role to promoting it, vetting applicants, holding assessment centres, conducting interviews and extending job offers. Once we’ve placed your ideal candidate, we’ll also support their onboarding and monitor their progress to ensure a smooth start to your working relationship.

Our clients regularly ask for our help to appoint HR Consultants, Managers and Directors, as well as People Managers and Heads of HR. And with a strong network and a diverse pool of exceptional candidates to draw from, we are well placed to find the best fit for your team.

The Donaldson Trust recently engaged with Eden Scott and Iain Atkinson to appoint an Estates Lead. Going through a transformation process, this was a critical hire for the organisation as we reposition the organisation moving forward with property playing a key role. Iain met with us, listened to our requirements and presented us with a tailored approach to sourcing, a comprehensive market map of suitable individuals before presenting an excellent shortlist. Whilst going through the permanent appointment, they sourced an interim manager to ensure business continuity within our Facilities function. We are delighted with how the process was handled and would highly recommend Eden Scott’s approach. Our ability to utilise their extensive network within the Property market has delivered an excellent appointment who will help us deliver the property elements of our new strategy.

Eden Scott assisted us in recruiting into a key post within our organisation at the Executive Director level. The service we received was extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and efficient. Eden Scott worked as partners with us throughout the whole process from identifying the best approach to assess the competencies of candidates, through the Assessment Centre, developing highly specific questions for each candidate at a panel interview, and providing feedback to candidates. We highly recommend Eden Scott.
