Why Eden Scott?

As Eden Scott and TalentSpark continues to grow we understand the importance of our great people and the positive impact everyone makes to each other, our candidates and clients each and every day.

We are 'The People Business'

This commitment and energy from all our staff resulted in Eden Scott reporting on turnover increasing from £13m to just over £17m for the financial year ending March 2024 and we have now embarked on a new two year growth plan. We are looking to hire exceptional talent across our teams and locations.

At Eden Scott, we're just as committed to exceeding our staff's expectations as we are our customers. When you join Eden Scott, we firmly believe that you are in charge of your own destiny. We're not big on overbearing KPIs and unrealistic goals, we are outcome-driven, and you will receive all the support, advice and a bespoke training plan for your own personal development.

We are looking to speak to experienced consultants, who thrive within an autonomous, hybrid working environment.

This is an ideal role if you are looking to thrive and grow your career in an organisation that recognises and rewards your hard work. While we offer support and guidance, we also give you the autonomy to grow and develop your own market and desk.

Our consultants drive their own business; they map out the markets that they want to work in through consistent and consultative business development, candidate networking and going the extra mile. We live and breathe our core values in everything that we do:
