Harrison Scott Associates

Harrison Scott Associates is the United Kingdom's largest and longest-established recruitment consultancy specialising exclusively in printing, packaging, and paper industry recruitment. The company has built a database of candidates over 31 years and operates as a seven-day operation supporting both candidates and employers seeking roles across the printing, packaging, and paper sectors. Consultants are experienced former managers with tenure of 18 to 26 years at the firm, bringing industry specialisation and deep knowledge of the sector. The company explicitly rejects sales-driven recruitment models, instead operating with a philosophy akin to accounting or legal practices where service to clients and candidates is paramount.

The company specialises across all aspects of printing, packaging, and paper industries, including commercial print, digital print, direct mail and transactional print, large format, point-of-sale, exhibition, print management, packaging development, corrugated and folding carton packaging, labels, rigid plastic containers, flexibles, prepress equipment, printing equipment, processing and packaging machinery, supplies, and paper. Services include recruiter and candidate registration, vacancy posting, CV databases, candidate sourcing, interview support, CV feedback, salary negotiation, and long-term candidate relationship management. The firm has 31 years of operation and extensive industry relationships providing access to unadvertised vacancies and top talent.

Harrison Scott Associates operates across four United Kingdom regions: South, Midlands, North, and Scotland, with the ability to place candidates internationally in France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, and beyond. The company is renowned as voted number one supplier by PrintWeek and pioneers of Veriqual certification. Client testimonials consistently highlight industry knowledge, professional expertise, efficiency, and the company's ability to deliver well-matched candidates across all sectors including commercial print, digital, packaging development, labels, and machinery.
