    Our Story.

    Embrace Talent was founded because we wanted to uphold traditional recruitment and search methodologies with a modern and innovative outlook. We believe that a tailored and human approach to the recruitment process is imperative for success, so creating an agency that is rooted in partnership was essential for us.

    Recruitment is more than just helping a candidate find a new opportunity, or assisting a client with their talent acquisition.

    It’s a complex and detail-orientated process that requires strategic thinking and an in-depth understanding of what someone needs.

    With 20+ years of industry experience, we have created a refined methodology that produces results for both candidates and clients, whilst establishing Embrace Talent as a trusted partner for future mandates.

    Our Founder.

    Alwyn Knox has over 20 years of experience recruiting for global blue-chip organisations, as well as small to medium-sized enterprises. Her proven track record evidences her abilities to execute complicated mandates, sourcing hard to fill roles within strict timescales. Alwyn’s passion for people and desire to provide a bespoke service led her to creating Embrace Talent.

    Diversity & Inclusion.

    At Embrace Talent, we are vocal about Diversity and Inclusion, and pride ourselves on providing solutions for our clients which enable them to propel their D&I efforts forwards. We are conscious of its importance both internally at Embrace and externally across our candidate and client relationships.

    Whether it’s providing diverse shortlists or partnering with clients to assess and create inclusive hiring processes, we always ensure that D&I is at the forefront of our service.

    We have seen our candidates reach new heights when placed into inclusive environments, and equally we have witnessed clients transform their teams through diverse hiring processes. Variety of thought is crucial for growth and elevation, and we are proud of the practices that we have instilled, so we can offer the best partnerships for our candidates and clients.

    Charity partnership.

    The charity that we are partnered with is Achieve More Scotland. Embrace is committed to donating a % of our fees annually to support this incredibly valuable service.

    About the charity…

    Achieve More! Scotland is a registered SCIO based in Glasgow that delivers programmes to improve young people’s physical and mental health. Most of these young people come from disadvantaged backgrounds and communities. The programmes delivered can be general well-being, confidence and self-esteem, as well as aspirations, personal responsibility and life chances.

    This is achieved by engaging them in structured, positive activities that work across communities and are delivered by role models.

    These activities take place within schools and communities. Within areas of high social deprivation, their diversionary activity for young people takes the form of sports, physical activity, group-work, volunteering, employability and personal development sessions.

    Their school-based activity includes one-to-one sessions, structured curriculum time activity sessions and activity at breakfast, lunch and after-school club
