"Following early retirement from my chief executive job, my aim was to find a non-executive role, in a values driven organisation which would offer me new learning opportunities and challenges. Scot’s commitment to finding me my ideal role went above and beyond my expectations. He took the time to understand me as an individual and my previous experience to find that perfect role.Amazingly, the non exec role that he matched me with, was not just the right fit for me but (I hope) for the organisation that I joined also. It was the first time that I had been through a non-exec recruitment process and my experience of recruitment consultants had been that they tend to be quite remote. Scot isn’t like that, he really impressed me because he is someone that will always make himself available to you and he makes you feel like he’s looking out for you – thank you Scot!"
