Our People: the inside track

Alexandra Scott Manager, Legal

WHEN AND WHY DID YOU JOIN B&C?

I joined Badenoch & Clark’s graduate scheme in August 2006. I initially applied to make my Dad happy as he told me I hadn’t applied for enough jobs! I originally had my heart set on another position, but from the moment I walked into the assessment centre, everything changed and I knew I wanted to work at Badenoch & Clark!

DESCRIBE YOUR B&C CAREER JOURNEY

I joined as a consultant with no prior experience, but have since worked across all three divisions at Badenoch & Clark: Professional Services (recruiting for in-house lawyers); the Public Sector (working for the local government team, recruiting revenues and benefits officers) and Commerce & Industry (recruiting interim finance professionals). I now manage a team of six temporary and permanent consultants in the legal division.

BEST THING ABOUT B&C?

The people. After speaking to friends, both in and out of the recruitment industry, I’ve come to realise that the culture at B&C is definitely unique. Also, I must say that our training and development opportunities are excellent.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT

Being the highest biller within the Accountancy & Finance division in 2011 and being promoted to manager in 2014.

£ CAREER BILLING

£1.8 million

WHAT KEEPS YOU AT B&C?

Again, I’d have to say the people! They make B&C a fun place to work, even on those days when it feels like everything’s going wrong.

INTERESTING FACT

I’m half Mexican and half Scottish.

Fraser Turnbull Manager, Scotland


I joined Badenoch & Clark in August 2007 for the opportunity to work in a blue chip, multi-site recruitment company – bursting with professional recruitment specialists.


I started in 2007 as a consultant, recruiting mid-level solicitors across Scotland on a permanent basis. I built this function from the ground up until the global financial crisis led me to work in and eventually lead, the interim Public Sector team. In 2010 I launched a permanent placement legal recruitment function for our only international office at the time, Badenoch & Clark Luxembourg. I was based for three years in our European centre, where I established and grew the recruitment service line, while also taking part in training our new international colleagues on the ‘B&C DNA’. In 2013, I returned to Scotland to focus on growing the legal recruitment service locally. In June 2015 I was promoted to Manager, cementing my position as a member of the wider Scottish leadership team and UK management function.


My passionate and professional colleagues. The support and encouragement the B&C leaders

provide for all (well, the majority) of my ideas and the opportunity to take ownership of my own career direction, makes Badenoch & Clark an exceptional place to work.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT

Achieving the ‘biggest ever single fee’ in both Luxembourg and Scotland. These are two records I still hold for offices which have been operating respectively for well over 15 years! Oh and being invited to represent B&C at the Queen’s Garden Party in Scotland.

£ CAREER BILLING

£1.35 million


The day-to-day ethos of the company: honesty, teamwork, clear encouragement to add value and the active promotion of entrepreneurship.

INTERESTING FACT

I have won every charity bake-off I have ever been a part of, both at B&C and amongst friends!

Ben Searls Associate Director, Accounting & Finance


I joined B&C after graduating from Nottingham University in 2004. Many of my friends were already working in the recruitment sector, but predominantly in large impersonal corporates which didn’t interest me. I researched the market and selected five companies to approach. B&C was of particular interest to me as they were described by their clients and candidates as a “big boutique”. I was also attracted by B&C’s investment in people.


Having started my recruitment career on a junior temp desk, which I think is an excellent grounding, I was promoted to Senior Consultant (temporary). I was eager to develop my skill set and asked to start a new permanent offering to our East Midlands practice. Having gained promotion to Principal Consultant (permanent), I took the opportunity to move closer to my original home (Brighton) – taking my first step into management in running the London Qualified Permanent Accounting & Finance team. I enjoyed every second of the next five years; developing my leadership skills and billing over £200k in the Retail/FMCG sector. After those five years I put together a business plan which identified an opportunity to open a new office in Brighton.

I am currently Associate Director and am fortunate enough to be working with three exceptional Senior Managers.


The people.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT

Building the Brighton business from a small office in Adecco’s old Brighton space to what it is today.

£ CAREER BILLING

£1.75 million


The constant challenging opportunities on offer if you work hard enough.

INTERESTING FACT

I have sung at the Royal Albert Hall twice.

Simon Crichton Executive Director, Public Sector


I joined Badenoch & Clark in January 2007, after being attracted to their ambition as a market leader in recruitment, along with their focus on quality people. I bought into the company culture of integrity, team spirit and entrepreneurship; I really liked B&C’s emphasis on strong leadership. I wanted to get better and the culture put the pressure on the Manager to be as good as they could be, rather than all of the pressure being on the consultant to bill.


Early in my career my mentor and boss taught me that less is more and to specialise, even when I wasn’t being forced to. So I chose to work with high-end project staff within Central Government for an IT recruitment brand; after a rocky start and applying myself for six months, my hard work paid off and I became sales person of the year, a top biller and a Manager. I moved to B&C to learn more and to develop my skills as a leader. Again, I specialised within the Public Sector and worked hard to market B&C as experts in this field. I believe all my people should be specialists and be able to talk with authority in their chosen markets. I have been instrumental in structuring our Public Sector division to work in vertical markets (NHS, Local Government,

Housing) but with specialist areas underneath (Finance, IT). B&C’s integrity and professionalism, high value network and quality people really set us apart from our competitors.


Strong leadership and a lot of talented people.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT

It’s a three-way tie: winning sales person of the year (2004) from a standing start; doubling £GP/contribution and winning Manager of the year (2009), with my consultants taking the top three billing slots; taking over as head of the Public Sector (2014) and smashing budget year one.


The incredible future potential; the job is only half done! Additionally, the opportunity to link in with the other Adecco Group brands is huge.

INTERESTING FACT

My Grandfather was a famous film director and I am a hobby obsessive.
