Harrison Scott Associates, the industry’s largest recruitment company, has brought together a number of distinct components to make possible a top level recruitment service which will be unrivalled by any other recruitment firm. It combines:

The identification of top-level candidates by our team of over 30 consultants using the most advanced database specifically created for our industry.

Short-listed candidates interviewed by Consultants qualified to degree level, many of whom have an MBA and who have extensive experience of green-field sites, and running companies of various sizes within the industry.

Candidates’ credentials put under further scrutiny by our Veriqual® system which itself is described as “going beyond the conventional recruitment process.”

Before the launch of this service we spoke to a number of clients and solicited their opinion of our new service. Some interesting quotes emerged from this exercise.

“We no longer need to use generalists high level head-hunters who has have little or no experience of our industry” Director of a multi site printing group.

“When you are considering candidates from a non-print sector Harrison Scott Associates will be able to make a much better assessment of how they would get up to speed with the special characteristics of print & packaging.” MD and major shareholder of an Essex based packaging company.
