Previous Opportunities

Hear from our former candidates:

“I engaged with Lauryn for a prospective role and she displayed the excellence that I have always experienced when I’ve engaged with Aspen People. She had clearly done a considerable amount of work to fully understand the role and the organisation recruiting. I was struck by how many of the questions I thought she would have to follow up on she was able to instantly answer. It showcased just how much work she had done to understand the work and needs of her client. Her communication was prompt, concise and clear. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lauryn as someone to consider for engaging with for recruitment purposes and would certainly do so again myself.”

Kenneth Fleming – Candidate

Debbie recently supported me in finding a new senior leadership role within the Third Sector. Throughout the process, Debbie was really supportive and attentive to my needs, always making sure I had the information I needed and was across all communications, reaching out continuously without leaving anything to drift. Debbie has the right balance of really making you feel she is batting for you while maintaining a professional approach to the recruitment process. I very much enjoyed the process, not something I have often felt in a recruitment and that was largely down to the way Debbie managed it. I would have absolute confidence in recommending Debbie to any organisation or individual.”

Jeremy Miles – Candidate

“I met Gillian through the recruitment process for a Trustee role at a large Scottish charity. She was responsive, supportive and offered brilliant insight and advice to help me prepare my application and interview. And she quickly came back to me to share the outcome. Thank you for making the process smooth and enjoyable!”
