WORKING CAREER

Working Career owned and managed by Diana Dawson, is one of Scotland’s leading career counselling and HR consultancy organisations. Diana approached Escape to support the recruitment process of a qualified Management Accountant for one of Working Career’s Edinburgh based clients.

The initial specification stated that the individual required a professional accountancy qualification. After a briefing meeting between Escape and the client it was recognised that a candidate with part qualification could do the job equally well. This had the benefit of increasing the number of potential candidates in the market place.

Escape, in conjunction with Working Career, developed the job specification and job description that would meet the client's unique requirements. After the presentation of a shortlist of candidates and first round interviews, an offer was made and accepted.

DIANA DAWSON | THE FOUNDER OF WORKING CAREER:

‘Escape managed my client's recruitment process in a competent and professional manner. They took time in getting to know the client's requirements, before quickly and efficiently providing a shortlist of pre-screened very relevant candidates.

Having interviewed each candidate Escape were able to speak knowledgably about the individuals and their match to the role. Once we interviewed the candidates on the short-list, we were able to offer one of those candidates the position.

Escape’s approach is efficient and successful in delivering the right candidates, I would not hesitate to recommend Escape as a preferred supplier.'

JIM WIPE | ACCOUNTANT, THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE:

'I had not been looking for a new position in the accountancy job market for several years and forwarded my CV to Escape. The consultant's immediate response identified a couple of opportunities that closely matched what I was looking for. Within one week, the consultant had arranged an interview for me. Following a second interview I was offered, and accepted, the position. With a professional and timely manner I would not hesitate in recommending Escape to others looking for a high level of service to help them find what they are looking for.'
