A LEADING Scottish financial services recruiter has been recognised as one of the UK’s 50 fastest growing firms.
Core-Asset Consulting has been named in the Recruiters Fast 50 list which puts the firm among the UK’s top performing recruitment businesses in the past year.
The Edinburgh-based firm, which was founded by entrepreneur Betsy Williamson in 2005, had a compound annual growth rate of 32% in the last year with revenue reaching £26,129,000.
Betsy Williamson, Chief Executive Officer of Core-Asset Consulting said: “Our ability to retain and attract clients is simply down to our capacity to provide an unrivalled level of quality service.
“In recent years we have placed more than 2,000 professionals into roles, and along with this vast amount of work, we have maintained an excellent approval rating which has made us stand out in the recruitment sector. Many of our clients are long standing partnerships, based on trust and our expertise.
“I’m really pleased to see that this excellent service has translated into an impressive period of growth”
A major contributor to the success is the firm’s Core-Asset Solutions division which is the largest and most experienced team supplying interim, temporary and contract staff to the Scottish financial sector.
Core-Asset placed 17 out of 50 in this year’s rankings.
Mike Stirton, Managing Director of Core-Asset said: “The solutions team have worked tirelessly to ensure that we deliver a level of service which exceeds our clients’ expectations.
“This has allowed us to build on our fantastic reputation to attract and retain new business.
“I’m really pleased to see that not only my departments, but the entire company’s hard work has translated into exceptional growth underpinning our position as an industry leader.
“We have now set a high standard for ourselves to follow and going forward we will be looking to build on this success to ensure our clients get the very best service.”
Core-Asset Consulting is a leading recruitment and headhunting agency in Scotland, specializing in financial and professional services.
The company has a workforce of 24 employees and operates in the entire financial services industry, ranging from small boutique firms to major global players.
Core-Asset was created out of Betsy’s desire to take the best of her experience of large corporate recruiters, applying the focus on infrastructure and training to a more sector-specialised business.
Originally focused on asset management in Scotland, the firm’s exceptional performance enabled its expansion into the broader financial services market.
It now offers specialised teams in accounting, investment operations, and finance, and has also extended its services to Scotland’s vibrant legal sector.
