Staff Testimonials

Margaret Mary Rafferty, Managing Director at Ceteris (Scotland)
" Debbie helped us recruit a new Managing Director for the company. She was professional throughout, sourced some excellent candidates and supported throughout the whole interview process. Her input was very much appreciated by the Board of Directors and I believe the successful candidate is the right person for the job. Debbie's contacts within recruitment ensured that she was able to reach a wider spread of candidate than we would have been able to do through advertising alone. It was the right decision to appoint Aspen. "
- Margaret Rafferty
Marie McQuade, Charity Consultant and Interim Head of Scotland at Changing Faces, UK
" Debbie placed me in a fantastic interim role with changing faces. She was informed, helpful and highly skilled at aligning the organisations and candidates needs. Personally and professionally she was a joy too- I highly commend her! "
- Marie McQuade
Social Enterprise Scotland - Chief Executive
" I enjoyed working with Debbie on our recent recruitment process. She was very knowledgeable about the role and sector and provided invaluable admin support as well as strategic input. Having always been a bit sceptical of recruitment agencies, I'm now convinced of the added value and would work with Debbie again if the need arose. "

Alan Taylor Professional Recruitment Testimonial

We recently worked with Aspen to recruit a new Chair for our Board and are delighted with the outcome. Debbie’s knowledge and experience of the charity sector and network of contacts were extremely valuable. She quickly understood the type of person we were looking for and we are very pleased with the appointment. The process was handled professionally and efficiently by Debbie and Kelsey and we would certainly work with Aspen in the future.
