What their customers say
Quotes from people at Aspen People's customers.
“Aspen were a key partner in the recruitment process of the Director of Service role at St Mary’s Kenmure. They engaged in that partnership extremely well, understood their responsibilities and executed them very professionally.”

“Nigel Fortnum’s enthusiasm, understanding of our needs and insight into the market ensured two successful appointments into business critical roles and a field of strong candidates to choose from.”
“Aspen People were great in helping us find high-quality candidates for Trustee positions. They took the hard work out of it and we were pleased with the candidates we were able to appoint.”
“Forces Children Scotland asked Aspen People to undertake a search for candidates to fill a CEO role. From the start of the appointment to the finish the team at Aspen were responsive, super helpful and provided a highly professional executive search. In particular, we were greatly impressed at the level of interest generated alongside the high calibre of candidates presented.

From the administrative side, all went very smoothly and professionally. It was a great pleasure working with you again.”
“Social Investment Scotland has now been supported by Donogh O’Brien and his team at Aspen during two cycles of recruitment for a Board Chair and other Trustees. During both processes, we have found Aspen’s input to be first rate – not only in terms of their networks and reach, but most importantly allowing us to focus on having quality interactions with candidates. We would have no hesitation in recommending Aspen to other charities and social enterprises.”
“The team at Aspen have a very people-centric approach, going beyond simply matching the skills and experience of applicants with the specifications for the role. They consider the ‘fit’ into our culture and take the time to ensure they have a deep understanding of what we need and expect the role to deliver. The Team invests a lot of time supporting the candidates through the whole process, from people thinking about applying to providing valuable feedback to unsuccessful candidates. Having trust and confidence in a recruitment partner is critical and Aspen deliver on both fronts.”

They also understood not just the skills and experience we required but also the person we were looking for and the soft skills they would require which led to a high standard of applicants and a successful process.”
“Having worked with Aspen for the first time in a few years we were delighted to get such a strong field of applicants for the post within a challenging recruitment market, their expertise throughout the process added value to the executive recruitment process.”
