Starting any new career is daunting, not least during a pandemic where learning and leadership is remote. But when Yasmine joined our team she slotted in like she’d been a part of TwoScots and a seasoned recruiter for years. The absolute definition of hitting the ground running. But what about the experience from her perspective? The ability to make decisions and trust your instincts is far more necessary than if

When you think business retreat what do you envisage? Executives in a generic conference room somewhere otherwise exotic? How about a digital nomad at a coworking space amongst palm trees whilst submerged in a lap pool? Well for TwoScots it was something pretty different. Whilst we did indulge in some luxury - major shout out to the villa with two pools, a hot tub, cinema and pool rooms. We decided

Anyone who knows TwoScots as an organisation knows we’re absolutely obsessed with building high performing teams with a difference - that difference being our relationships. Relationships with each other as well as our external market.

Over the last ten (almost eleven!) years, we’ve become proud of our ability to not only retain staff in an industry often characterised by a revolving door of employees but also to accelerate the careers of junior professionals. Many of our staff come in with limited experience in recruitment and manage to establish themselves as high achievers with a wide breadth of relationships. This is epitomised in Giles Ellison. He

Working long-term in any one industry affords an expertise as you’ve seen trends come and go as well as long term evolutions and disruptions. Lyn McKenzie, the Finance Operations Manager for David Jones is certainly an expert in the retail industry after working her way up from Part-Time Reconciler to Accounts Payable Manager overseeing 30 staff at The Good Guys before moving to David Jones in April 2019 where she

One thing that living in isolation this year has impressed upon us is to really appreciate things that we’ve taken for granted for years. Undeniably one of those services is Australia Post who have provided us with a connection to each other as we’ve posted gifts and cards to loved ones that we can’t see physically. They brought us all the desks, equipment and treats we needed quickly earlier in
