CRUINN Consulting, the Glasgow-based recruitment firm, has appointed its first director.
David Sutherland, who is also the firm’s first full-time employee, joins from Hays Technology, where he has spent the last three years.
The hire comes as Cruinn, established by former Michael Page director Claire Gillespie in 2018, experiences growing demand for its services.
Cruinn, which specialises in executive and board-level appointments, has worked previously for Peak Scientific, LS Productions, and Busy B.
Ms Gillespie said: “When I started Cruinn I wanted to move away from the behaviours that get recruitment agencies the reputation that it’s all about sales and commission, rather than about what the client is trying to do.
“David has a similar approach to mine, and while I want to continue our growth, it’s even more important for clients and candidates to know they can trust us to find the perfect match in a very strong spirit of partnership and collaboration.
“We’ve been inundated with new opportunities and I’m really excited to have David on board so our current and future clients can benefit from his expertise.”
Mr Sutherland said: “What I love about this industry is the ability to work closely with clients and candidates and creatively build a solution to get them to where they want to be. Claire’s knowledge and attitude really complements my own and will allow us to provide a unique service to the market.
“Over the last three years I have been helping find the right tech talent for clients across the private and public sector. Businesses are crying out for great people, and we’re here to help them find each other.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
