Recruitment firm puts Dundee at top of its CV

A recruitment firm has moved into Dundee, creating six jobs of its own in the process.

HRC Recruitment has expanded into Dundee with the opening of a new city centre office, which will be led by former ASA Recruitment executive Ian Mchardy.

Initially appointed to head up HRC’S growing engineering team, Mr Mchardy and company founder and chief executive Hilary Roberts identified Dundee as a great opportunity for the next stage of the business’s expansion.

“Dundee is on the cusp of serious economic expansion – the time feels right to establish a base in the city and grow with it,” Ms Roberts said.

“Dundee is a magnet for investment, house prices are rising faster than the Scottish average, and it’s becoming a real cultural hub. There are huge opportunities in this evolving market in our existing sectors of professional services and new areas too.”

HRC’S new office is on Marketgait and will be manned with an initial six-strong team, a figure that is expected to grow.

Mr Mchardy said he was delighted to be joining a company which was on such a strong growth trajectory.

“We have plans to establish businesses across the local economy, taking in everything from public sector frameworks to SMES,” he said.

“With a fair wind, we’ll be looking to increase our initial team of six quickly, while adding new sector specialisms to the areas in which HRC Recruitment is already well known.”

Ian Mchardy will lead the Dundee office.
