Cordant People, part of recruitment group Cordant Recruitment, has opened offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Livingston, and Stirling; with sites in Aberdeen and Inverness to follow in the coming months, reports onrec.com.

The company specialises in general staffing recruitment and is looking to recruit a total of 58 staff across its newly opened offices to fill an increasing number of client job vacancies in temporary and permanent roles.  

Parent company, Cordant Recruitment, also operates a growing number of contracts in Scotland for nationwide companies such as Amazon, Lloyds Banking Group and Tesco, which are driving additional local jobs demand for Cordant People.

James Orr, Operations Director, Cordant People Scotland, has been appointed to establish the new offices: “Cordant People’s Scottish presence across these key new locations will enable us to offer a local service to local businesses and also meet the demand from nationwide contracts running in Scotland.”

“This is especially exciting time to be in recruitment.  We’re seeing a number of trends, in particular a rising demand in permanent vacancies – and as well as a particular jobs growth in the food & drink, construction, financial services and tourism sectors.  We’ve got some fantastic industries in Scotland, from the very modern such as life sciences, to the traditional, such as textiles,” he added.
