More about us

“The Chamber sought Debbie’s support for the recruitment of an interim Regional Executive Director role as we required some extra help to find the right individual after some initial open advertising. Her insights were invaluable both in terms of how we were expressing what we wanted job description wise but also suggestions of how the market was currently behaving and candidate expectations. She sourced several excellent potential candidates for us to interview and we have been absolutely delighted with the candidate we appointed. She cuts right to the chase and sees and understands the needs of both the recruiting company and the candidates as equal in importance which I believe is essential to get the right fit. I would highly recommend working with Debbie and have since passed on a number of candidates to her for advice and as potential future clients.”

“Over the last four years, Aspen People has helped me to secure two high quality senior interim positions with Scottish housing associations. They are well connected in the sector and have built up a good knowledge of the workings and culture of housing associations. They are approachable and clearly have the confidence of the clients they represent. I would commend them to any housing association senior officer looking to extend their careers into their early retirement periods.”
