Insightful and challenging; Jules always adds value whatever the context.

Rob Clarke, Director, (Redemption Foods Ltd, Maple Leaf, New York Bakery Co)

Jules and Katharine have been our ‘go to’ recruiter and have supported our team for some years. Their understanding of our business and its recruitment needs are second to none. They have consistently succeeded where other agencies didn’t rise to the complexities involved.

The Appointed Group I believe, are unique amongst recruiters, in their field. Their professionalism and passion and deep understanding of their clients’ businesses, their strategy and their individual challenges allows them to generate briefs that attract and deliver candidates that are second to none.  They are particularly effective in filling specialised roles requiring highly specific skills.

Craig Anderson, Chairman, (Loch Fyne Oysters Ltd, Associated Seafoods Ltd, former CEO The Scottish Salmon Company Plc)

No other recruiter guides, supports and mentors their candidates like them. It is an absolute pleasure to work with the company. It is obvious they are one of the few recruiters that don’t just see their candidates as a potential fee.

Jules Pearson – wasn’t this lady just beautifully skillful in her directness?! She got straight to the point and gave clear experienced advice on CV’s, recruitment, self branding…simply marvellous!

Jules is most likely the best connected and skilled head-hunter in the food and drink industry in Scotland. She takes a holistic approach in evaluating the company, the vacant position and the team and recommends only candidates that would fit that particular environment and culture while not being shy of expressing her opinions to the client if they differ. She clearly adds value to the search process and I would not hesitate to work again with Jules if the opportunity arises.

Anthony (Ton) Christiaanse – CEO, Chairman (Aviko, Brakes, Unilever, Sara Lee, Stoddarts)

Jules is a pleasure to work with. She is very skilled at matching clients with appropriate positions based on cultural fit and aspirations. She is very professional but also a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend Jules for senior appointments in the food industry.

Debbie Briody, (Matthew Algie, Bells Food Group Ltd, Highland Spring)

Jules is without question the best-connected specialist recruiter working in the Scottish Food & Drink industry. She has built up a powerful reputation by not only knowing the sector inside out, but by understanding the importance of getting the right people into an ambitious business in order for it to grow.

David Reid, Managing Director, Because Brands Matter Ltd

From the moment I first connected with Jules I was impressed by her enthusiasm, energy and knowledge of the clients that she recruits for. Not only did Jules secure me an initial interview, she was very comprehensive in helping me prepare for both my interviews which only served to help me feel confident throughout the whole process. I would not hesitate in recommending her services.
