"Scott is different !... in every way and in a very good way...

What you need when you are recruiting is someone who understands your requirements, who can put themselves in your shoes as they sift through the masses of CVs for the candidates that are appropriate for your needs.

Anybody can throw CVs at a client, but very few can throw the right ones and the certainty that the skill set and cultural fit are aligned to the clients needs.

With Scott, you get someone who has the industry knowledge within Procurement & Supply Chain, he just gets it because he has done it.

He is a great example of a disruptor, popular with clients and candidates, very unpopular with his recruitment peers I would imagine!

The interim and permanent markets needed a shake up, enter Scott from left field, do you know of any other interim recruiter offering their services free of charge? No, nor me...

Other recruitment organisations should take a good look at themselves and understand you don't need sales people to recruit, you need subject matter experts who know what their clients are seeking.

Would I use Scott again? Absolutely! Should you get in touch with him...yes, as soon as you can...

To my recruiting / talent acquisition professionals in the Food & Drink space...go on, try it and save the 20% or 30% fees that you are currently paying for interim professionals...

It is an absolute pleasure to work with Scott. Open, honest, collaborative and communicative,


Scott mixes utmost professionalism with humour and personality which makes the (often painful) process of finding top talent a pleasant experience.


Scott takes the time to fully understand the needs and personality of the organisation before recommending candidates, but still delivers within often very often tight timescales.


I look forward to working with Scott again, and have no hesitation in recommending him to support your executive search.
