At Core-Asset Consulting, people are at the heart of everything we do.

Founded in 2005 with a simple belief—that people are the core asset of every business—we have built our approach to recruitment with purpose and integrity. This belief guides us in every decision, focusing on building lasting relationships that align with the goals of both our clients and candidates.

Our philosophy is reflected in our name, our values, and every partnership we build.

What sets us apart in the recruitment industry is our unique model, which blends the strengths of executive search with contingency sourcing. This innovative approach enables us to prioritise quality over quantity, deep understanding over short-term wins, and long-term success over quick fixes. Whether we are helping a fintech firm build a team from the ground up or matching a candidate to a company’s culture and strategic vision, our focus is always on creating connections that stand the test of time.

We are proud to have earned the trust of our clients and candidates alike—a trust we cherish and constantly strive to uphold.


Our Evolution and Expansion

We initially made our mark within Scotland’s asset management sector. Since then, the success of our model has propelled our growth into the wider financial services market, and into the professional services sector. We now serve clients across the UK and Ireland, and offer a full suite of recruitment services, from human capital consultancy through to contract management.

As a result, Core-Asset Consulting is now considered by many companies to be their number one recruitment partner.


Independent

  • Core-Asset Consulting is an independent, privately-owned recruitment company.
    Our focus is not on the short-term demands of shareholders but on the long-term interests of our candidates and clients.


Service not sales

  • We aim to provide clients with the best possible candidates, as opposed to the most actively available. Our focus is on quality, not quantity. This is the philosophy behind our ‘service not sales’ approach to recruitment.


Consultative approach

  • We consider important client factors such as business culture, values and teamwork, and link these with a traditional ‘skills-based’ approach to recruitment.

  • We offer candidates a truly consultative approach, both to those actively seeking employment and, even more frequently, to individuals open minded about their career.


High-calibre consultants

  • Our consultants share the company’s core values of respect, reliability and integrity.

  • We believe our culture of teamwork, personal responsibility and initiative is one of the reasons we deliver such a high quality service.


Professional and ethical

  • We are committed to treating all clients and candidates in an ethical, professional and courteous manner.

  • Our recruitment processes are designed to be robust, consistent and transparent at all times.
