What our candidates say
Derek was great help with linking me up with my new employer, matching my cv/skillset to that of a position he was recruiting for. Currently on my fourth week in the new job and I'm having a great time!
From initial contact to securing a job, Alison was attentive and in contact with me regularly to update me as to the progress and where we stood. Her knowledge of the local market and expertise regarding her clients helped me to secure a job in a well-suited company that offers exactly what I am looking for. I can't recommend Alison enough for anyone wanting to apply for a job.
I had a great experience with Eden Scott!! Derek and Richard always updated me during the application process and communicated regularly, making sure that I was not let out of the loop. Moreover, whenever I had an additional step to take, they always let me know in time. I would absolutely recommend Eden Scott to any applicant striving to find a workplace. 10/10 experience

What our clients say
National Museums Scotland recently engaged Eden Scott and Iain Atkinson to appoint an Interim Director of Estates & Facilities Management. Having worked with Iain for many years across our Estates function, Iain had developed a thorough understanding of our organisation and people requirements. Iain worked closely with our Executive team throughout the recruitment process and through his extensive market knowledge and network within the property market, delivered a strong shortlist of candidates. We are delighted with our new appointment and the quality of service we received from Iain and Eden Scott.
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.
