Gilchrist Recruitment Partnership

Gilchrist Recruitment Partnership is a small, independent recruitment and career consultancy in Edinburgh. It fills jobs only in Scotland's marketing, digital and creative industries, and it was founded by Jill Gilchrist, a recruiter who specialises in marketing roles.

Services

• Permanent recruitment: shortlists of screened candidates for marketing, creative and digital vacancies, with a focus on fewer, better-matched introductions.
• Roles covered: from account executives and artworkers to creative directors, heads of SEO and PPC, social media strategists and managing directors.
• Candidate support: a route for job seekers to send a CV and browse open positions.
• Industry news: Jill Gilchrist publishes a weekly online magazine covering Scottish digital, advertising, creative, marketing and PR agencies.

Customers and markets

The firm works with agencies and in-house corporate teams in Scotland. It deals only with candidates based in Scotland or those with a firm date to relocate there, and some clients have used it as their sole recruiter for around two decades.
