 Edgar Stewart launches Scotland’s first and only dedicated recruitment service for high-growth start-ups and SMEs – Talented.

Scotland’s first and only dedicated recruitment service for high-growth start-ups and SMEs has launched this month in Edinburgh.

‘Talented’ is the first spin-out to come from recruitment specialist Edgar Stewart’s new business incubator and start-up hub in Stockbridge.

Edgar Stewart director Craig Jackson will lead the growth of the Talented brand.

Craig said: “There’s been a lot of noise about businesses struggling to compete in today’s candidate-led market but no one really came up with any solutions. That is, until Talented came along.

“Talented is different in a number of ways. It thinks differently, operates differently and is trying to change people’s perceptions about what recruitment is all about.

“Recruitment often gets a bad reputation and, in many cases, it’s justifiable. But, with Talented, we’re trying to turn that on its head. 

“Having spent nearly 10 years of my career in the recruitment industry, I’ve heard just about every horror story there is. I get it.

“Most recruitment businesses are sales organisations where it’s all about the numbers. Hitting call quotas and generating fees are the order of the day.

“But Talented has been created with the new generation of entrepreneurial businesses in mind. It won’t just break this cycle, but hopefully change it beyond all recognition.
