Executive Recruit Scotland | Board Recruitment | Search Firms Scotland

We listen, advise, consult and then deliver.

Our History

We are located in the Scottish central belt, Executive Recruit Scotland was set up at the beginning of 2009 with the aim to provide full and proper value added recruitment services to employers seeking to recruit the best UK-based Executive, professional talent.

Too many recruitment consultancies simply skim job boards and shuffle CVs to potential employers. In our eyes, this is not a valuable service.

The company is headed up by Derek Anderson and Robert McGougan, Executive recruitment professionals with over twenty-five years experience gained from various roles throughout Scotland. Both are skilled recruiters who have worked their way up from Consultant to Director level with various companies and have vast knowledge when it comes to recruiting Executive professionals.

Our Specialisms

At Executive Recruit Scotland we specialise in business-to-business opportunities. Most of the positions that we handle tend to be of a technical nature. Whether these are within Construction products and services, Engineering or Information Technology, the positions that we cover and the people whom we work with tend to have a technical element to them and involve a problem solving or consultation based sales process.

Executive Recruit Scotland is a professional recruitment consultancy for those who have already built their skills and experience in a managerial capacity.

Unfortunately we do not offer entry level or graduate assistance. If you are someone looking to break into being an Executive from a different career path, (unless you have product experience within a particular sector and are looking to move into an expert role within it) we are sorry, but it is doubtful that we are the best recruitment company to help you.

We want to match the best candidates for the best roles. We are highly successful at high professional positions within niche markets, so if you have a track record in a particular technical space we would be very keen to hear from you.

How we work

We provide nationwide expertise by networking with strong Executives in various vertical markets throughout the whole of Scotland. Expertise in the geographic area, the challenges within a particular market sector and expertise in properly assessing candidates to make sure that the positions we offer are right for them, as well as making sure that they are right for those positions themselves.
