The permanent recruitment market in Scotland hasn’t bounced back in the way many hoped at the start of the year. While there are still opportunities, they’re more selective, more strategic, and often moving at a slower pace.
That’s why we’ve pulled together this Q3 Report – to give finance professionals a clear, honest view of what we’re seeing right now across accountancy, financial services, and industry. It’s based on the conversations my team and I are having daily with CFOs, hiring managers, and professionals at every level.
Inside the report, you’ll find insights on:
-
How automation and AI are reshaping roles
-
Where interim and contract opportunities are strongest
-
What’s really happening inside accountancy practices
-
Why tech skills are becoming a key hiring differentiator
-
What you can do now to stay ready – even if you’re not actively looking
Whether you’re planning your next move or just want to stay close to the market, I hope it gives you a useful snapshot of where things stand, and where they might go next.
