Accounting and Finance Jobs in Aberdeen City

When we needed a Unidata contractor at short notice (within 2 weeks) I didn't know who to speak to. After posting a message on LinkedIn Elkie contacted me and said she could help. After 2 hours she had three CVs for people who were ready for a telephone interview. We ended up hiring one of the contractors and were delighted with the service he provided. Elkie herself was always a pleasure to work with. She's not pushy, she just quietly gets on with finding the right person for the job. She demonstrated some creative problem solving techniques throughout the process to ensure that the resulting arrangement worked for both the contractor and us. I highly recommend Elkie and the service she provides and look forward to calling on her again in the future.”

Elkie is one of the hardest-working people in the Pick space. A tireless bundle of enthusiasm and good-humour, Elkie personifies the small-business entrepreneurial spirit endemic to the community. She's extremely generous with her talent and energy, deservedly earning the respect of her colleagues with her integrity and work ethic.”

I have known Elkie, and Prospectus, for longer than I care to remember. She is one of those rarest of rare breeds - a recruiting/contract agent who actually cares more about the well-being of the candidates she supplies than she does about the bottom line, and who will take a stand on welfare rather than caving in for the commission.

Elkie has the personality, knowledge, and communication skills that make her a real powerhouse in the IT Recruitment world. Her connections and knowledge of the needs of her clients benefit all concerned. I highly recommend Elkie.

I've used Elkie to recruit Pick / ARev / OI people for over 20 years, which in itself should be recommendation enough. In my view, she is the only person to go to when recruiting people with these specialist development skills. She looks after both the employer and the employee, and is honest enough to say 'no' when she thinks a seemingly good candidate won't fit into the organisation. If you're not sure, she'll go out of her way to find an acceptable way forward for both parties. If you're looking for people with Pick, Revelation or Open Insight development skills, she's it - don't bother with anyone else!”

“The thing about Elkie is that you can trust her and that is a big thing to say about a recruitment consultant. She makes every effort to get results and people we have seen through her (and employed) all say that she was one of the few people that actually got in touch with them personally and helped them in their career progression. Use her !”

Elkie is the best placed person in the UK to provide suitable Pick / U2 / Reality / mvbase, and so on contract and permanent staff. Always reliable, always delivering on time, I have placed several projects in Elkies hands over the years, and every time she has delivered the exact requirements on time and to budget. Thouroughly recommend ELkie's company Prospectus if you are looking for rdbms people.

My first contact with Elkie was when she acted as a recruiter to find me a position. Having received excellent service from Elkie it was natural that I should then use Elkie to help me find staff for a new IT function within the company I worked for. During a period when the skills I was looking for in my staff were in short supply Elkie came up with innovative ideas for recruiting staff, including open evenings and even travelling to Australia to recruit staff from there. On moving to another company I continued to use Elkie to find staff for the next ten years, until I left the IT industry. I have nothing but praise for the way Elkie works and for her enthusiasm, skill and knowledge. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Elkie and have every confidence in the work that she performs.

I really appreciate the approach Elkie takes to recruitment compared to the rather faceless and impersonal large outfits, where it sometimes seems like dog eat dog !, and I can say that now from both sides of the fence.

In the current economic climate, it seems that agencies are swamped with applicants and rarely take the time to respond to their applications. Not only did Prospectus respond, but through understanding my strengths and requirements, I was interviewed for 2 positions and got through to a second interview. For a personal and professional service, I thoroughly recommend Prospectus.

Have worked with Elkie to place people over several years and find her and her colleagues to work very effectively. She works with a high level of integrity based on my experience and incisively identifies the right candidates for roles.

Elkie's knows her marketplace inside out and has one of the most extensive networks of multivalue specialists in the world. She is always a pleasure to do business with and has strong professional and personal integrity. She genuinely seeks to provide a win win solution for both halves of the recruitment equation.

Elkie is extremely trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. Within the recruitment sector, there are fewer people who know our marketplace better. If you are looking for someone with MultiValue skills, then Elkie MUST be one of your first people to call.

Elkie has the respect not just of me, for whom she has consistently worked hard to provide worthwhile career and employment opportunites. But also the former IT director at Generali who wished all recruiters could be as efficient and provide as good a service as Elkie.
