We’ve got a great team here, however when it came to looking for new additions, we decided to leave it to the experts at Enigma. We have been fortunate enough to work in partnership with Enigma, who has been excellent at identifying suitable candidates with the appropriate qualifications to grow our team. They have effectively quantified our needs and supplied the appropriate solution, a technique which we praise highly.

Quite simply Enigma are one of our most valued partners. Their knowledge of the market and expert recruitment guidance has been invaluable in helping us grow and shape our organisation. Their team take the time to understand not only our needs as a business but also those of our culture, of what defines us. They supply candidates that meet our skills needs but more crucially, are aligned to our core values. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Scot, Ben, David and the Enigma team have enabled us to hit the ground running in Glasgow. Working in a start-up style environment, the vision is clear but the path can change and it’s always high speed so you need partners who understand that business context. Enigma have reflected this understanding in the way they work with us and the candidates put forward. They are incredibly responsive and I regularly turn to them for insights about the market.

We came across Enigma accidentally a couple of years ago, and since then have used them as our exclusive supplier for engineering talent. Uniquely (in our experience of many local and national recruitment consultants) they are able to understand the requirements that we have both for hard skills and for the softer skills that we need from our engineers so that they will fit well into our established team. The personal service from Ben et al has helped us to find real software engineers that would be overlooked by other agencies, irritatingly because the engineers don’t necessarily use the current buzz words to describe themselves.

SKF Condition Monitoring in Livingston requires highly specialist hardware and electronic design experts to help us deliver key projects to clients. Often these rare people need to be sourced from outside of the local market. We have found Enigma People Solutions to be adept at understanding our needs and presenting candidates that are of interest. In identifying candidates internationally from locations such as Sweden, Italy and Ireland Enigma People Solutions has demonstrated a capacity to reach candidates that are instrumental to our business that we would otherwise not know of. This has been of significant value to us and has enhanced our capability to deliver complex solutions to our international clients.

After a 5 month search for our new Scottish Sales Executive position, using a number of Scottish agencies, a business partner recommended Enigma People Solutions as an agency with a strong reputation of solving difficult to fill positions. Enigma introduced 4 candidates that were excellent matches and then managed the process so that we had a candidate start within 12 weeks of engaging Enigma on the project. Enigma People Solutions are fast, effective and efficient and clearly demonstrated expertise and a strong network of recruiting senior sales people. We are happy to recommend Enigma People Solutions Ltd as a top recruitment consultancy.

Enigma People rapidly introduced a shortlist of 4 candidates that matched our requirement, What impressed us about Ben Hanley at Enigma People was his combination of experience as a recruiter, his knowledge of the industry, the market, and the time and interest he took in our company. It’s a winning combination.

Our Edinburgh office of has worked with Enigma People Solutions since December 2006. During this time EPS have provided our company with a high standard of candidates, both permanent and contract positions. EPS placed an Optical Engineer with us in April 2008, and we are delighted with the progress this person has made. EPS provide a professional, enthusiastic, efficient and friendly service. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a Recruitment Agency of choice.

Once again, a big thank you to all at Enigma (and Scot in particular, who had to deal with all the phonecalls!) for helping me find my perfect job.

indie has worked closely with Enigma People to broaden our employer brand and attract candidates as we expand our design team in the Edinburgh marketplace. We require highly specialist hardware and electronic design experts to help us deliver key projects to clients. Enigma People Solutions approach to recruitment marketing has furnished us with a range of candidates to select from and we have seen a strong spike in interest in indie Semiconductor as a reaction to the blogs that they have written and promoted on our behalf. The result has been that we have some important hires identified and in process to join the business. The team is growing and we are looking to move office to accommodate this.

We met with Enigma People and were impressed with their ability to empathise with what we were looking to achieve with this hire. They quickly presented us a shortlist of 3 well researched candidates allowing us to select the best match considering the technical and cultural requirements we had. They were able to help iron out any sticking points in the final offer stage to ensure that all parties were satisfied with the final result. We are delighted to have closed off a challenging but important hire that we are confident will improve the way we do business.

We had been in the market for some months and received a "scatter gun" selection of candidate CVs, which failed to meet our customers’ value requirements. When Enigma People Solutions sent us two ideal candidates for a single role, we were able to realign our staffing and cover off another vacancy by internal promotion. Everybody won. The candidates very quickly strengthened an already enthusiastic team. They have since gone on to raise the professional profile of the Service Desk internally and with customers. As we have no in house HR function, we do have to keep recruitment firms at a certain distance, but I’ll be happy to contact Enigma People for future any future needs.

Due to the nature of our growing team, it is important to get the key positions right and build from there. In my dealing with Enigma People Solutions, I have seen both sides of the business. They were instrumental in successfully placing me in my current role and also have been successful in providing me with opportunities that I have had open in my capacity as a recruiter. I can say that Ben and his team are always professional but friendly and approachable. They work hard to understand what it is you are looking for and, in the case of providing candidates, will only put forward the candidates that are suitable. They always focus on providing the right solution for both the candidate and the recruiter to ensure the best outcome.

Enigma’s people are very good to work with. They’ll visit and spend time chatting to you to understand what you really need. They also bring their own ideas to the table on how to achieve that. We recently approached Enigma to source candidates for two new mid-level Developer positions we wanted to create. Enigma demonstrated their expertise by suggesting that, rather than hire two developers at the mid-point of their careers, we should actually bring in one experienced developer and one graduate. We hadn’t considered that before and thought it was a good idea, so we took Enigma’s advice and they found the two developers we needed. The balance of skills and experience the two bring has already added a new dimension to our business. Enigma is very different from other recruitment agencies I’ve used in the past, who would simply shuffle CVs over to me without applying any real thought. By comparison, Enigma price their services competitively and add value in everything they do. Crucially for us, they really understand the importance of finding people with the right personality for your business, as well as the right technical skills. As a result, we dont work with any other recruitment agency.

I have only been working with Ben and his team at Enigma People Solutions for a few months however from my very first conversation with him I was very impressed. His willingness to understand my requirements whilst helping me to understand the current job market has been invaluable to me.
